LHE is currently developing two Mini Hydro Power Plant (MHPP) as IPP projects at the Regency of Pasaman, West Sumatera Province. They are Lubu-1 MHPP and Lubu-2 MHPP.
Locations:
LUBU 1 and LUBU 2 MHPP are both located at one river, Batang Lubu river, at the Regency of Pasaman. It is located approximately 250 km from Padang City, the capital of West Sumatera, which can be reached in around 9 hours by car, driving through the provincial and national roads, which connects Padang City and Bukit Tinggi in West Sumatera Province, to Sibolga Town in the North Sumatera Province.
Potencial of Projects:
LUBU 1 and LUBU 2 MHPP are both in plans for development with a cascade system, aimed to generate maximum power output with the capacity of 2 x 5.00 MW (total of 10.00 MW) each.
