The 12 MW biomass power plant will generate power using empty fruit bunches (EFB) of palm oil residue after extracting palm oil as a fuel as well as palm kernel cake (PKC) and palm waste liquid (POME). 

The JPY3 billion (US$27 million) project will be implemented under Japan's Ministry of Environment's bilateral credit system (JCM). It is expected to be operational by 2021.
