PLTD & PLTG Trisakti is a 111 MW oil-fired power plant located in Indonesia, operated by PLN and commissioned in 1978. The facility generates electricity using oil as its primary fuel source. This plant ranks as the largest oil plant in Indonesia, accounting for 12.58% of the country's total oil capacity of 882 MW. Indonesia has 23 oil plants with a combined capacity of 882 MW. Compared to other plants, PLTD & PLTG Trisakti is equal in size to the next largest facilities, each also at 111 MW. Oil remains a significant energy source in Indonesia, contributing to about 8% of the country's electricity generation. The reliance on oil is particularly pronounced in regions where other resources are less accessible. The plant is located in South Kalimantan, approximately 300 kilometers from the capital, Jakarta.

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).
