Indonesia is opening its doors wider to energy investors with the offering of five mini-hydro power plant (PLTM) projects. These opportunities will be presented at the upcoming 2025 International Conference of Infrastructure (ICI), aiming to attract both local and international investors. The total investment needed for these energy projects is estimated at US$41 million or around IDR 656 billion.
The government is offering these projects under various investment models, including the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) scheme. Based on the official project catalog, the five mini-hydro power plants are mini-hydro power plant Bendungan Sekampung, PLTM Bendungan Tapin, PLTM Bendungan Leuwikeris, PLTM Bendungan Cipanas, and PLTM Bendungan Karalloe.
PLTM Bendungan Sekampung, located in Pringsewu, Lampung Province, is valued at US$7.25 million or approximately IDR 116 billion. This power plant will have a capacity of 5.4 MW and will be connected to a 20 kV medium-voltage transmission network.
In South Kalimantan, the PLTM Bendungan Tapin project is planned with a capacity of 3.32 MW. It is expected to require an investment of US$5 million or about IDR 80 billion.
