2016 - 2017 Upper Cisokan Pumped Storage Power Project in Bandung, Jakarta, Indonesia
Due to increasing electricity demand in the Java-Bali region, the Government of Indonesia (GOI) through its state-owned firm PT PLN (Persero) intends to construct a Pumped Storage Hydro- Power Plant, known as the Upper Cisokan Pumped Storage Power Plant (UCPSP). The UCPSP will have an installed capacity of 1,040 MW and will be Indonesia's first pumped-storage power plant and one of the largest in South East Asia. It comprises of an upper and lower reservoir, each with an active water storage volume of 10,000,000 m3. The project is co-financed by the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), part of the World Bank Group (approximately USD 650 million).
This project involves the construction of two dams and reservoirs, as well as pipelines to transfer the water between the reservoirs and generate power in the process. A 27km long access road and other facilities will need to be constructed into mountainous, geologically unstable terrain. All these activities will lead to direct and indirect impacts on the environment, with appropriate abatement and mitigation measures to be provided as part of the environmental and social safeguard process.
Enviro Pro was tasked to provide the International Senior Environmental Engineer as part of Project Construction Supervision Consultancy Services on behalf of PLN. This includes the management and supervision of the implementation of the project’s Environmental Management Plan (EMP) and Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) during construction in line with the regulations of GOI and guidelines of International Finance Corporation (IFC). Furthermore, stakeholder capacity building and training programs are conducted.
Enviro Pro was involved in:
Reviewing and providing recommendations on the ESMP/SSHP prepared by the contractor for Package 1 of the Project.
Preparing training materials related to the implementation program of the ESMP/SSHP.
Establishing a project team of environmental inspectors, as well as the procurement of environmental monitoring equipment.
