HydroRenewableVerified: Feb 2026

With a capacity of 180 MW, PLTA Jatiluhur is ranked 115th among Indonesia's 297 power generation facilities, contributing 0.17% to the country's overall capacity of 108,203 MW. This hydroelectric power plant, positioned as the 12th largest hydro facility out of 66 in Indonesia, harnesses the natural flow of the Citarum River to generate energy, utilizing a combination of reservoir and run-of-river technologies. The plant's geographical context is enhanced by its proximity to several significant power generation facilities, including the massive PLTGU Muara Tawar, which boasts an impressive 2,593 MW capacity, illustrating the dominance of gas as the primary fuel in Indonesia's energy profile. Other nearby plants such as the Upper Cisokan Pumped Storage Power Plant and Cirata Power Plant further contribute to the region's hydroelectric potential, showcasing a robust energy cluster that supports the national grid. Indonesia's energy landscape is predominantly gas-driven, but the presence of hydro plants like PLTA Jatiluhur highlights the country's commitment to diversifying its energy sources. Operated by Perum Jasa Tirta II, PLTA Jatiluhur has been a key player in Indonesia's energy sector and reflects the nation's ongoing efforts to leverage its vast water resources sustainably. As the demand for clean energy continues to rise, this facility is poised to play an even more significant role in shaping Indonesia's energy future.
