PLN Cabangbungin

Oil

The PLN Cabangbungin is a key infrastructure asset in Indonesia's power generation grid, located on the continent of Asia. Designated as a fossil fuel electricity generation station, the facility features an installed capacity of 0 MW. Its primary operation relies on harnessing oil energy resources to generate bulk electricity. The plant's operating entity is not publicly declared in national utility registries. An exact commissioning date for the installation is not registered in official historical logs. In terms of domestic production capacity within Indonesia, PLN Cabangbungin occupies the #24 position among all operational oil power plants. Its 0 MW capacity represents a 0.00% share of Indonesia's total installed oil generating capacity, which currently stands at 882 MW. The largest operational oil installation in Indonesia is the PLTD & PLTG Trisakti with an output of 111 MW, making the PLN Cabangbungin approximately 1.0 times smaller by comparison. Across all fuel types and electricity generation technologies country-wide, this facility accounts for 0.0000% of Indonesia's aggregate generation capacity of 108,203 MW. Based on historical capacity factors characteristic of oil power plants (modeled at 15% for analysis), the facility's expected annual electricity generation is calculated at approximately 0 MWh. Applying domestic consumption statistics where an average household in Indonesia consumes 3 MWh of electricity annually, this level of production is sufficient to meet the energy demands of roughly 0 homes. By utilizing traditional thermal power processes, the station delivers reliable dispatchable energy to the grid, supporting grid resilience during periods of low renewable resource availability and satisfying industrial base-load demands. The physical site of the station is located at geographic coordinates -6.0763° latitude and 107.1441° longitude. Analysis of local grid infrastructure shows a density of other assets within a 50-kilometer radius. These nearby facilities include the PLTGU Muara Tawar (gas-fired, 2593 MW), the Muara Tawar Power Plant (gas-fired, 2593 MW), the Muara Karang Power Plant (gas-fired, 1908 MW), representing a cluster of localized power assets. This geographic placement is vital for reinforcing regional distribution infrastructure and minimizing transmission line losses across this sector of Indonesia.

An Overview of Oil as a Power Generation Energy Source

Oil power generation involves the combustion of oil to produce electricity. The process typically begins with the extraction and refining of crude oil, which is then burned in a power plant to create steam. This steam drives turbines connected to generators, converting thermal energy into electrical energy. Oil power plants can vary in design, including steam turbine plants, gas turbine plants, and combined cycle plants, which utilize both gas and steam turbines to enhance efficiency. As of now, there are 2,416 oil power plants worldwide, distributed across 108 countries, with a total installed capacity of 286.9 gigawatts (GW).
