Overview

PLTU Bilibili is a 2 MW coal power plant in South Sulawesi, Indonesia, operated by PLN's regional unit. It serves the local grid with small-scale capacity.

PLTU Bilibili is a coal-fired power plant located in South Sulawesi, Indonesia, with a capacity of 2 MW. It is owned and operated by PLN's South & South East Sulawesi Regional Unit, contributing to the region's electricity supply as a small-scale generation facility. The plant operates under Indonesia's national energy regulations, which include emission standards for coal-fired power plants. As a small-capacity unit, it likely uses subcritical technology typical of older or smaller plants in the region. Indonesia's power sector is transitioning toward cleaner energy, but existing coal plants remain important for baseload power. Given its small size, PLTU Bilibili has a limited environmental footprint compared to larger coal plants. It supports local grid stability in a region with growing energy demand. The plant's operational status indicates ongoing contribution to the area's power generation mix.

Environmental context

As a small coal plant, PLTU Bilibili produces CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions typical of coal combustion. Its remote location in South Sulawesi reduces direct impact on densely populated areas. Small coal units often have lower efficiency and higher emission intensity per MWh. Local environmental considerations include air quality and water usage for cooling.
