BMPP Nusantara-1 power station is a 60 MW gas power plant in Maluku, Indonesia. It is operated by PT PLN (Persero) [100%]. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 68k homes (estimated). It ranks #307 of 401 Indonesia power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2022, it is around 4 years old — recently built. In context, gas supplies about 18.5% of Indonesia's electricity; the national grid averages 680 gCO₂/kWh (18.1% low-carbon) (2024).

At 60 MW, BMPP Nusantara-1 power station is below the median gas plant in Indonesia (150 MW). Technically it is described as Engine. Gas plants burn natural gas either in open-cycle turbines for fast peaking, or in combined-cycle units that recover exhaust heat in an HRSG to reach roughly 55–62% efficiency — the cleanest-burning fossil option.

This gas plant burns natural gas in a turbine — often in a combined-cycle setup — to generate electricity. It sits in a tropical rainforest climate (Köppen Af) — Southern Hemisphere, latitude 3.6°S — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
