Development of Pumped Storage Hydropower in Java Bali System Project

The development objective of the Development of Pumped Storage Hydropower in the Java-Bali Project for Indonesia is to support Indonesia’s energy transition and decarbonization goal by: (i) developing the first large-scale pumped storage hydropower to improve power generation peaking and storage capacity of the Java-Bali grid; and (ii) strengthening PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (Persero) (PLN’s) capacity for hydropower development and management. The project comprises of three components. The first component, development of the upper Cisokan pumped storage (UCPS) plant consists of following sub-components: (i) preparation, construction, and commissioning of the UCPS plant; and (ii) project supervision and support to the project implementation unit. The second component, environmental and social impact management for the UCPS plant consists of following sub-components: (i) implementation of environmental and social (E and S) plans; and (ii) independent environmental and social monitoring (IESM) consultant and environmental and social panel (ESP). The third component, provision of technical assistance and capacity building activities will finance technical assistance to strengthen PLN’s capacity in hydropower development through support to the preparation of the Matenggeng pumped storage (MPS), Poko hydropower, and the Java-Bali system master plan. It consists of following sub-components: (i) preparation of the MPS plant; (ii) preparation of Poko Hydropower Project; (iii) project review panel (PRP) for MPS and Poko; (iv) preparation of the Java-Bali masterplan; and (v) capacity building and support to project implementation Management.
