PT Freeport Indonesia baseload power plant project, Indonesia
Name of the Project
PT Freeport Indonesia baseload power plant project.
Location
Amamapare, PT Freeport Indonesia’s port site in Papua, Indonesia.
Project Owner/s
PT Freeport Indonesia.
Project Description
The project entails the construction of a 128 MW power plant and a 100 km transmission line to convey the electricity to the Grasberg mine, located in the remote highlands of the Sudirman mountain range, in the province of Papua, in the western half of the Island of New Guinea.
The new plant is needed to provide the necessary power as PT Freeport extends the Grasberg operations from openpit to underground mining.
The project comprises 14 dual-fuel generating sets. This flexibility will enable the plant to switch to operating on natural gas when it becomes locally available. Initially, the engines will run on Indonesian B30 biodiesel.
The fast-starting flexibility of the engines will also allow for the integration of energy from renewable sources, such as solar and wind, in the future.
