Bisnis.com , JAKARTA - UNTR Group, PT Arkora Hydra Tbk. (ARKO) targets two new projects to operate commercially in the next two years.
Arkora Hydro President Director Aldo Artoko said the two projects would support the growth of ARKO's electricity production. The projects in question are the Yaentu Project in Central Sulawesi and the Kukusan Project located in Lampung.
"It is hoped that COD will contribute to the EBT mix in the near future," he said in a public presentation, Wednesday (22/11/2023).
In more detail, the Yaentu Project is located in Poso, Central Sulawesi and has a capacity of 10 MW. This project is targeted to operate in the second quarter of 2024, with expected electricity production of 62,476 MWh per year.
To date, the progress of the Yaentu Project has reached 95.5% and is in the turbine and generator installation stage.
The next project is Kukusan which is located in Lampung. Later, this project with a capacity of 5.4 MW will contribute electricity of 62,476 MWh per year. So far, the progress of this project has reached 7.7% and COD is targeted in the third quarter of 2025.
