Labuhan Angin power station230 MW Natural Gas

GasVerified: Feb 2026

Ranked as the 86th largest power generation facility in Indonesia, the Labuhan Angin power station plays a crucial role in the nation's energy landscape. With a capacity of 230 MW, it contributes 0.21% to Indonesia's total power capacity of 108,203 MW, a significant figure in a country where gas remains the dominant fuel type. As the 37th largest gas plant out of 69 in Indonesia, Labuhan Angin stands as a vital player in a region where energy demands are high and diversified fuel sources are essential. The facility utilizes advanced gas generation technology, which allows for efficient and cleaner energy production compared to traditional fossil fuels. This not only meets the growing energy needs of nearby communities but also aligns with Indonesia's broader goals of transitioning to more sustainable energy practices. The Labuhan Angin power station is strategically located near other significant energy facilities, including the PLTU Labuhan Angin, which also operates at 230 MW but runs on coal, as well as the Sipansihaporas hydro plant, generating 50 MW, and the PLTA Sipansihaporas II, which adds another 33 MW through renewable hydroelectric power. This proximity to diverse energy sources enhances the stability and reliability of the local grid, ensuring that energy can be efficiently distributed to meet consumer needs. In the context of Indonesia's energy profile, where gas is the primary fuel, Labuhan Angin’s contributions are vital, particularly as the country continues to develop its energy infrastructure. Owned and operated by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Labuhan Angin plays a crucial role in supporting Indonesia's energy security. The plant was commissioned in 2012, reflecting a commitment to modernize and expand the country's energy capabilities. Looking forward, Labuhan Angin is well-positioned to adapt to changing energy demands and environmental standards, contributing to Indonesia's ongoing economic development and environmental sustainability efforts.
