In context: how this plant compares

At 50 MW, Kalbar-3 power station is below the median gas plant in Indonesia (150 MW). Technically it is described as Engine. Its current lifecycle status is “Announced” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. 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.
