The Wayang Windu Geothermal Power Station is the largest
MW and the other with 117 MW, with a total installed capacity of 227 MW. The power station is located near the town of Pangalengan, 40 km south of Bandung,[1] West Java. An estimated cost of US$200 million was incurred in construction and development.[2][unreliable source?] A third unit of 127 MW is being planned and expected to be onstream by mid-2013.[1]
The arrangements to establish and operate the Wayang Windu plant were part of the overall policy towards the development of geothermal energy in Indonesia[3]
Geothermal field
The area of the Wayang Windu geothermal field is in the order of 40 km2 (15 sq mi). This reservoir is liquid-dominated, overlaid by three separate vapour-dominated reservoirs.[4]
