aptive power or self-sufficiency in electricity supply allows the private sector to manage power supply to companies in an independent manner. This could translate into an industrial area that manages electricity supply for tenants through localized sources of energy inside the compound.
Captive power presents a solution to decrease the burden of electricity network capacity, reducing the risks of power disruption while boosting economic activities. Not only that, captive power also supplies a reliable on-site electricity source, which could support the activities as well as growth of industries, while supporting the implementation of the government’s plan to add an additional electricity capacity of 35 gigawatts.
Indonesia intends to increase its per capita gross domestic product to US$5,500 in 2019, a target in which electricity capacity increase is a must. Electricity is a driving force of economic growth and captive power has a potential to accelerate that growth.
Captive power ensures the availability of reliable electricity, therefore capable of supporting industrial and economic growth.
