The problem for Indonesia’s state-owned electricity supplier, PT PLN was meeting rising power demand in North Sumatra. Over the past 20 years, the country’s fourth most populous province has experienced recurring blackouts in most parts of the region, disrupting business and social activities. PLN needed new generation to ensure the province wasn’t left in the dark. Arcadia Energy answered the call.
We built a hydro power plant. Our 12MW Sei Wampu 1 project near North Sumatra’s capital, Medan City, supplies around 80,000MWh per annum of reliable, affordable and cleaner energy to the local power grid. We meticulously coordinated every aspect of the project from planning and development to sourcing mechanical and electrical equipment, and taking responsibility for engineering, procurement and construction. The site was remote, the landscape unforgiving, language a barrier, and high quality labour and materials in short supply but we got the job done.
More than 20 years in the energy trade meant we were also able to negotiate and secure power purchase agreements with government and private enterprise.
For Indonesia, we’re powering Indonesia progress with cleaner energy. For us, It’s another case of energy solved.
