PLTMG Sumbawa 2 Power Plant Officially Operational, Boosting Sumbawa Island's Electricity Capacity

PT Adhi Karya (Persero) Tbk has successfully completed the construction of the PLTMG Sumbawa 2 gas power plant, a 30-megawatt facility located in Labuhan Badas, Sumbawa Regency, West Nusa Tenggara. This new power plant significantly boosts the electricity supply on Sumbawa Island and strengthens the region's energy resilience.

The PLTMG Sumbawa 2, built on 3.38 hectares of land, officially commenced operations on May 20, 2026, following its inauguration alongside PT PLN (Persero) through the Main Unit of Development Nusa Tenggara (UIP Nusra), the project owner. Adhi Karya partnered with KEPCO E&C for the Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Commissioning (EPCC) scope, encompassing civil, mechanical, and electrical work. The project's construction began in December 2023.

This strategic infrastructure addition increases the total capacity of Sumbawa Island's electrical system from around 160 MW to 191 MW. The enhanced capacity provides a more adequate power reserve, crucial for supporting economic growth, attracting investment, and facilitating the daily activities of the community. The increased reliability of the electricity supply is expected to foster further development across the island.

Furthermore, the adoption of gas-fueled power generation technology aligns with Indonesia's national energy transition strategy, aiming for Net Zero Emission by 2060. Natural gas produces lower emissions compared to conventional fossil fuels, making it a more environmentally friendly alternative. Rozi Sparta, Corporate Secretary of Adhi Karya, emphasized the company's commitment to supporting national energy infrastructure development that directly benefits the community. "Adhi Karya is committed to continuing to support the development of national energy infrastructure that can provide real benefits to the community, especially the people of Sumbawa through this PLTMG project," Sparta stated.
