Abstract

Pumped Storage Power Plant (PSP) is a new technology in Indonesia and will be installed to provide peak power to the grid. The existing power plant used by Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) to provide this peaking power in Java-Bali Grid system is Gas Fired Power Plant (GFP) that uses Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) fuel to generate electricity. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the viability of PSP to displace GFP in economic and financial terms with selected cases from Upper Cisokan and Matenggeng. Three different approaches were performed to unfold the economic viability of PSP projects from long-term, mid-term, and classical simplified economic analysis with avoided cost models. The results show that the project is viable for all the analysed cases. These results support PLN’s objective to absorb variable renewable power generation in an environmentally sustainable way and strengthen PLN capacity to support the development of new renewable energy.
