Description
The project is currently owned by Musim Mas Holdings.
The electricitiy generated from the plant has offsetted 103,861t of carbon dioxide emissions (CO2) a year.
The process of combustion has been adopted in this project to release the stored energy from the feed. Palm kernel shells which is a kind of agricultural by-product is used as a feedstock to power the project.
Development Status
The project got commissioned in July 2007.
