6MW Mini Hydro Power Plant Project in West Pasaman, West Sumatra
- Representative Participant
- NiX JAPAN Co., Ltd.
Outline of GHG Mitigation Activity
On the Batang Tongar river in West Pasaman, West Sumatra, a run-of-river type mini hydro power plant (3MW x 2 units) is constructed and the electricity is sold to PLN, a state-owned power company. The project reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by replacing the grid electricity. 38.73 GWh is expected to be sold annually.
The government’s electric power development plan aims at a renewable energy ratio of 23% by 2025 and 31% by 2050. This project contributes to a promotion and expansion of renewable energy.

・Reference CO2 emissions
= Quantity of the electricity generated by the project [MWh/year]
x Emission factor [tCO2/MWh]
＝38,730 [MWh/year] × 0.473 [tCO2/MWh]
・Project CO2 emissions
= 0 [tCO2/year]
