Construction of the Upper Cisokan Power Station, the first pumped storage power station in Indonesia, kicked off on Sept 22.
Located over the upstream of the Cisokan River on Java Island, the station is 190 kilometers from Jakarta, the capital city.
It is designed to be equipped with four 260-megawatt generator units, with a total installed capacity of 1,040 MW.
The power station is an iconic project to realize Indonesia's target of 23 percent of new and renewable energy mix implementation by 2025, and its goal of national energy transformation.
Once operational, the project is expected to supply 147.9 billion kilowatt-hours of green power to the Java-Bali power grid annually, which will greatly improve peak regulation capacity and stability of the regional grid.
China Energy Engineering Group Co., Ltd. is responsible for the project.
