Our power plant has won two Asian Power Award in 2019 and five times Green Rating PROPER Award from
Indonesian Ministry of Environment.
Motivation to Manage Energy ̶̶ For more than
40 years, PT PLN NP Muara Karang Power Plant
has maintained as one of the main electricity
supplier for the Indonesian Capital.
Nevertheless, we understand the key risk factor
as one of the oldest power plant in Indonesia,
including the increased competition among
newer power plant with higher efficiency and
lower production cost, and Indonesia’s
resolution for Net Zero Emission .Therefore PT
PLN NP Muara Karang Power Plant is
determined to achieved better efficiency and
also lower production cost through the
implementation of ISO 50001 – Energy Figure 2 Muara Karang Roadmap 2023-2027
Management System. We integrate ISO 50001:2018 with other management system in our Integrated Management
System (IMS), such as ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 9001, ISO 20000-1, ISO 27001, ISO 37001, ISO 55001, and ISO 22301.
We are very optimistic that the implementation of EnMs will not only reducing our energy consumption and
production cost, but also reducing the net carbon emission which comply with Indonesian policy for Net Zero
Emission in the year 2060.
“ISO 50001 not only helps us improve energy and cost efficiency, but also lead us
closer toward Net Zero Emission.”

Business Benefits
PT PLN NP Muara Karang Power Plant has made various efforts to save energy by focusing on Significant Energy Uses
(SEUs), establishing Net Plant Heat rate as an Energy Performance Indicator (EnPI) and determining a baseline with
reference to ISO 50001: 2018.
Economic Benefit
The absolute energy savings obtained by CUSUM (Cumulative of Sum) from
2020 to 2022 are 3,604,711 Mega Watt hour or 12,9 Million Giga Joule. From
this energy saving we reduce our energy consumption by 18% in 2022 with
2019 as our baseline year. In 2022 there was a very significant increase in
energy saving according to the graph in figure 3. This is due to the successful
implementation of ISO 50001:2018 with the main energy efficiency program:
the construction of Combine Cycle
Block 3 with a high efficiency Gas
Figure 3 Absolute Energy Savings Turbine which has started
operating in mid 2021 which will subtitute Steam Turbine Power Plant 45.
PT PLN NP Muara Karang Power Plant has successfully achieved a US$
88.3 Million energy cost saving from 2020 until 2022 and the EnMS
program repaid for itself in just 3 years but the benefit will last for longer
period. Beside that we also reduce our production cost per kWh of
Figure 4 Production Cost per kWh Electricity
electricity from US$0.071 in 2019 to US$0.054 in 2022.

Environment Benefit
PT PLN NP Muara Karang Power Plant succeeded in reducing CO2 gas
emissions progressively through EnMS. The construction of Combined
Cycle Block 3 as our main energy efficiency program started operating
in early 2021 has significantly reduced GHG emissions because
Combined Cycle Power Plant Block 3 uses a Gas Turbine from
Mitsubishi MF 701F5 that uses the latest dry low NOx technology
with a very low emission level of 0.0947 Ton CO2eq/GJ, included in
the best 25% according to Directorate General Regulation (PPKL) P19-
20 for Gas Turbine Power Plant and Combined Cycle Power Plant
Benchmarking, which is the lowest emission level for the current
Combined Cycle Power Plant class in Indonesia. In addition, PT PLN
NP Muara Karang consistently implements the Environmental Figure 5 Total GHG Emission & Intensity (2019-2022)
Management System (EMS). Proved by obtaining the ISO 14001:
2015 certificate. The Green Rating PROPER Award (Indonesian award of company environment performance
assessment) was won 5 times from 2017 to 2021. Some of the programs that have been carried out by PT PLN NP
Muara Karang Power Plant is integrated energy management system in environmental management system (Life
Cycle Assessment), and finding the critical points that cause environmental impacts, so that the company is able to
overcome impacts on target, reducing total GHG emissions in 2019-2022 by 793,461.4 tons CO2eq.
Corporate Achievement
The implementation of EnMS supports us in conducting energy
efficiency awareness, sustainability culture, and innovation
training among employees in all levels. Our effort in
implementing EnMS recognized by PT PLN NP Headquarters and
awarded us “Power Plant with The Best EAF Performance”. We
also get two Asian Power Award in 2019 on category “Gas
Power Project of The Year” and “Power Utility of The Year”. One
of these awards was obtained through the innovation of the
energy saving programs entitled “Re-Design System Integration
of GTG and HRSG CCPP Block 1”. The Innovation is a solution to Figure 6 Asian Power Award in 2019
the problem of loss of production & energy. Last year in 2022, we won the Subroto Award by the Indonesian Ministry
of Energy and Mineral Resource (KESDM) on Management Energy at Large Industry category.
Plan
Policy and Commitment
Every plan for implementing the EnMS need the involvement and
commitment of every employees in all levels. In achieving that first we
integrated ISO 50001:2018 into corporate management system which is
Integrated Management System (IMS) PT PLN NP along with other
management system certified with PAS 99:2012. PT PLN NP Muara
Karang has a EnMS policy signed by the General Manager with a
commitment to continuously improve energy performance. To
summarize the policy in figure 7 the following commitment are
implement energy management system, formulate strategic plan
framework, commitment on financing, conduct management review
meeting, and carry out management reports energy to Ministry of
Figure 7 Energy Management System Policy (left)
Energy and Mineral Resources. We increase our employee skill we train
and Energy Manager Certificate (right)

them to get Energy Manager and Energy Auditor certification. To raise awareness and increase knowledge on energy
efficiency, we socialize energy policies and energy conservation programs to all employees regularly through Coffee
Morning program and Montly Joint Meeting. PT PLN NP Muara Karang Power Plant has long term planning so called
Company Long Term Plan called ‘RJPU’ (see figure 2) which comprise programs for improvement of equipment
efficieny and reliability. RJPU is for 5 years which derived annually can be called Company Work Plan and Budget
called ‘RKAP’.
Energy Review
To execute the process in implementing EnMS PT PLN NP Muara Karang Power Plant formed an energy management
team that consists of Certified Energy Manager and Energy Auditor. The energy team conducted energy review as a
process of gathering, calculating, analyzing processed data of energy consumption. We are focusing our energy
review based on Significant Energy Uses (SEUs), then establishing Net Plant Heat Rate as an Energy Performance
Indicator (EnPI) and determining a baseline with reference to ISO 50001: 2018. We were defining 2019 as the base
year and the data for analysis was set from the last 3 years. Target EnPI was determined in accordance to PT. PLN NP
corporate’s key performance indicator. The method we are using are the combination of Energy Audit and regular
performance test based on ASME PTC.
Figure 8 Significant Energy Use (SEU) and Baseline for Muara Karang Power Plant
To determine baseline, we do linear regression to energy consumption vs production data. We measured up to 3 tier
levels to analyze the SEU of PT PLN NP Muara Karang Power Plant so the SEUs were known down to the equipment
level. For the 1st tier level we set the SEU based on Energy Sources. The composition of the energy used in PT PLN NP
Muara Karang power plant consisted of 98.86% fuel and 1.14% electrical energy as shown in the pie chart. We can
conclude that significant portion energy that are used are from fuel. Power plant industry used fuel to generate
electricity which is another form of energy and because of that we set the 2nd tier level of SEU based on Net Plant
Heat rate (NPHR) from each entities/area. We have total of 3 entities in PT PLN NP Muara Karang Power Plant. The
3rd tier level of SEU are based on equipment in every generating unit. From the data based on EnPI we get that the
NPHR of our oldest generating unit (Steam Power Plant Unit 4-5) are higher than other generating unit. Therefore,
our energy team agreed to have more focus and prioritize on program for compensating the energy efficiency of our
oldest unit.
“EnMS guides us to realize our energy efficiency target and increase our
awareness and commitment on energy efficiency.”

Do, Check, and Act
Program and Implementation
Based on the measurements, calculations, and
identification of SEUs that have been carried out, as
well as referring to the baseline and NPHR as the EnPI
unit as explained in the previous elaboration, we get
the potential improvement from each level of SEU.
From the 1st level SEU we implement the program
that will reduce our fuel consumption. It is known
that Steam Turbine Plant Unit 4-5 has the lowest
thermal efficiency, thus we have our main efficiency
program which is Development of CCPP Block 3
(2021) with a Gas Turbine with efficient and
environmentally friendly technology to subtitute the
production of Steam Turbine Plant Unit 4-5. You can
see on figure 9 the development of CCPP Block 3 are
our highest investment but also give us highest
saving. From the 2nd level SEU we implement program
that can raise our generating unit efficiency one of
them is Upgrade Combustor Extendor dan Advance
Gas Path Turbine GTG 1.1 Combined Cycle Block 1. Figure 9 Energy Efficiency Program
rd
From the 3 level SEU we implement program that can reduce electricity
consumption for each equipment by optimizing operating patern for
equipment. The following are the program we implement from 2019 until
2022. We measure our total saving and CO2eq from 2020 until 2022. Beside
that we also have already implement energy efficiency program before 2020
such as installation solar panel, changing fluorescent lamp into LED lamp,
optimizing AC operation, offline waterwash compressor of gas turbine power
plant, and etc. We also do verification and measurement of energy
Figure 10 CCPP Block 3 performance with ISO 50015.
Evaluation
We monitor our overall energy performance both daily
and montly basis. For the daily basis we applied the of
modelling use software Gate Cycle and for montly basis
we do performance test of the generating unit at
maximum power. From both method we evaluate the
result and we got Pareto heat loss and the we would be
able to determine and analyze the energy performance.
We could also determine some potential energy
improvement concerning on design changes, operation
pattern for equipment, and operation process. Other
evaluation we do is through Energy Audit carried out in
Figure 11 Montly Energy Consumption to Electricity production 2022 using ISO 50002 guideline. Every month we evaluate
our energy performance to see whether the EnPI has reach the target or not. We also make projection and
simulation for the current year to see if we can reach the EnPI target set by PT PLN NP Headquarter at the end of
year. You can see from figure 13 we have succeeded to keep NPHR below target every year with average gap of 7%
between target and realization. Energy savings and performance improvement are calculated based on total

consumption in comparison with its baseline. We didn’t do normalization because we calculate energy saving from
total production and total energy consumption of Muara Karang Power Plant for each year compared to baseline. We
socialize our monthly energy performance to all division at Monthly Joint Meeting. Collaborating with other division
we look for the best solution to improve our energy performance. Our monthly efficiency performance is reported
and validated by the Cost Management Division of PT PLN NP Headquarters. We also hire third party such as PT PLN
Puslitbang to ensure our calculation method are in line with ASME PTC guideline. Beside internal audit we also do
external audit with third parties PT EMI (Energy Management Indonesia).

Continuous Improvement
It is important to maintain our energy performance by
continuous improvement after we do the evaluation. We show
from figure 15 that we always make our efficiency target higher
than before with year 2021 as exception because we assume
Covid-19 pandemic will have higher effect on our production.
But we suceeded on improving our efficiency and create a gap
between realization and target of 4,4% in 2021. Beside the
monthly joint meeting, our energy team also conducted
Monthly Management Review meeting called ‘RTM’ (see figure
16) to evaluate SEU and determine critical operating
parameters based on SEU. The management also held a
Figure 16 Montly Management Review Meeting
program called BRIGHT (Brilliant Innovation for Brighter
Electricity) to capture ideas and innovations carried out in all fields. All program and ideas that has been discussed to

be implemented to raise our energy performance are poured into Company Long Term Plan called ‘RJPU’ (see figure
2) and annually discussed in Company Work Plan and Budget call ‘RKAP’. All this to make sure that we keep
implementing EnMS and improve our energy performance.
Transparency
The program we do and the result on energy saving by implementing ISO 50001:2018 are reported to and validated
by our Government through:
1. Online Energy Management Reporting (POME) by the Indonesian Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources
(KESM). (https://simebtke.esdm.go.id/sinergi/)
2. We have reported to Indonesian Ministry of Environment (KLHK) through Assessment Program in
Environmental Management (PROPER) and for that we got Green PROPER Award from 2019 until 2022.
(https://proper.menlhk.go.id/)
3. We also have emission monitoring facility for our power plant called Continuous Emission Monitoring System
(CEMS) which are always monitored by Ministry of Environment.
(https://ditppu.menlhk.go.id/simpel/cemsonline)
4. We reported three times a day our production, energy consumption, and also water consumption to our
headquarter and our parent company PT PLN (https://navitas.ptpjb.com/Naviver/cgi-bin/WebIndex.exe)
What We Can Do Differently
Lesson Learned
From continuously implementing EnMS ISO 50001:2018, PT PLN NP Muara Karang Power Plant has learned many
things beside all the achievement. The program to improve energy performance doesn’t have to be something big
but can also be something simple such as changing one behavior toward in carrying out activities. Setting company
targets down to staff level should be delivered by providing clear direction from management. Other lesson we learn
is we need to do external audit more often and from other third parties to gain more insight from another point of
view. We learn that by implementing new technology we can significantly increase efficiency by 6% from 38% to 44%,
reduce emission, and also reduce production cost of lectricity we can increase our power plant efficiency from year
to year.
Future Plan
PT PLN NP Muara Karang Plant have a Long-term
Plan written in the Energy Efficiency Strategic Plan
for 2023 to 2026 and is updated every year. It
contains future program that we can do based on
energy saving. Some of them are implementing
new technology, further reduce energy
consumption, further reduce plant heat rate, and
implementation of new energy sources. Right now
we are planning toward energy transition by
Figure 17 Co-firing simulation with 10% hydrogen (source: www.ge.com)
increasing our renewable energy production to
further support Net Zero Emission. We plan to install more solar panel until 1MWp in 2027. Another thing is co-firing
with another fuel for our existing combined cycle power plant. We are considering co-firing with hydrogen fuel which
is more environmentally friendly. For our GE Gas Turbines (CCPP Block 1) we can reduce the CO2 emission by 2.8%
with only 10% hydrogen (see figure 17) co-firing which doesn’t need much extra equipment.
