Mandira 1 power station is a 87 MW oil power plant in South Sumatra, Indonesia. It is operated by PT Wachyuni Mandira [100%]. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 65k homes (estimated). It ranks #286 of 401 Indonesia power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1998, it is around 28 years old — long-established. In context, oil supplies about 1.9% of Indonesia's electricity; the national grid averages 680 gCO₂/kWh (18.1% low-carbon) (2024).

In context: how this plant compares
At 87 MW, Mandira 1 power station is well above the median oil plant in Indonesia (50.1 MW). Technically it is described as Engine. Oil-fired plants burn heavy fuel oil or diesel, usually as peaking or backup capacity on islands and grids without gas pipelines; high fuel cost keeps their utilisation low.
Capacity comparison computed from the WRI Global Power Plant Database; fuel-type context is general engineering background.

Climate zone & how it works
This oil plant burns oil or diesel to drive turbines or reciprocating engines. It sits in a tropical rainforest climate (Köppen Af) — Southern Hemisphere, latitude 4.5°S — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
Climate zone & typical temperatures: Köppen-Geiger world climate classification (Kottek et al. 2006, 0.5° grid).
Site climate & environmental severity
This site sits in an aggressive, high-corrosion environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C5 — Very high), with marine salt corrosion the leading environmental stress.
Indicative estimate via the ISO 9223:2012 informative method (atmospheric corrosivity from temperature, time-of-wetness and airborne salinity), using WorldClim climate normals, the Köppen-Geiger class and coast distance. Indicative, not a measured corrosion rate.
