Timo / Mrica Hydroelectric Power Plant, Indonesia | 12 MW Facility

Timo / Mrica is a hydroelectric power plant located in Indonesia, operated by PLN - PT. Indonesia Power. With a capacity of 12 MW, it is a small-scale facility within the Indonesian power generation sector, which relies heavily on fossil fuels but also utilizes hydropower resources. The plant operates under Indonesia's national electricity regulations, which promote renewable energy development. As a hydroelectric facility, it uses water flow to generate electricity without direct fuel combustion, resulting in low emissions. The technology is typical for run-of-river or small reservoir hydropower plants common in Indonesia's mountainous regions. Environmentally, Timo / Mrica provides clean energy to the local grid, reducing reliance on coal-fired power. Its operation supports Indonesia's goals for increasing renewable energy share. The plant's location near populated areas may require careful water management to balance power generation with local water needs.

As a hydroelectric plant, Timo / Mrica has a low carbon footprint compared to fossil fuel plants. However, hydropower can affect local aquatic ecosystems and water flow. The facility's small capacity minimizes land use changes. Proximity to populated areas may necessitate monitoring of water quality and flow to support both energy production and community water needs.
