Overview

The Cirata Hydro-electric Power Project is located on the Citarum River in West Java, Indonesia, approximately 100km southeast of Jakarta. It was constructed between 1984 and 1988, principally for the purpose of power generation, though the ability to store water for irrigation, flood control and water supply were also recognized goals of the project.

Cirata is a concrete faced rock-fill dam with a height of 125 m, a crest length of 453 m and volume of 3.9 million m3. The power plant has an installed capacity of 1,008 MW, and makes a very significant contribution to peak electricity supply for the city of Jakarta and surrounding areas.
