Indonesia's Asahan 3 Hydro Power Plant Targets 2024 Completion

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Indonesia's PT PLN (Persero) is constructing the Asahan 3 Hydroelectric Power Plant (PLTA), with a total capacity of 174 megawatts (MW). This is a National Strategic Project located in the Asahan and Toba regencies of North Sumatra.

The Asahan plant is expected to be operational by March 2024, with an estimated investment value of more than $240 million. In February, the Asahan River's flow was re-routed to a diversion channel as the intake weir construction began. Excavation work for the underground powerhouse began in June 2020 and was completed in May.

The plant is one of several projects in Persero's transformation to green energy. Indonesia's hydropower sector has seen multiple hydropower plant projects commence in strategic locations.

Industrial Info is tracking four hydropower projects owned by Persero that are under construction, with a total investment value of about $1 billion. Subscribers to Industrial Info's Global Market Intelligence (GMI) Power Project Database can click here for a list.
