Programs & Activities

The Upper Cisokan Pump Storage (UCPS) Hydropower Scheme is a peak power generation plant that will provide up to 1,040 MW of electricity to the Java-Bali grid on the island of Java, Indonesia. The developer is the state-owned enterprise Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN). The UCPS is located at the boundary of two regencies—West Bandung and Cianjur—within the Cisokan River catchment, a sub-catchment of the Ciratum River. This will be Indonesia’s first pumped storage scheme, a technology distinct from conventional hydropower. Electricity is generated during peak demand periods when water is released from the upper reservoir through tunnels to the powerhouse and discharged into the lower reservoir. During off-peak periods, water is pumped from the lower reservoir back to the upper reservoir, consuming energy from the grid in the process. Water is recycled between the two reservoirs daily, while all other river inflow is passed downstream through the dam structures.

PLN has sought financing from the World Bank for the construction of the UCPS scheme. The Concept Project Information Document for the ‘Development of Pumped Storage Hydropower in the Java-Bali System Project (P172256)’ was approved in January 2020. This marks the continuation of a long-standing partnership between PLN and the World Bank, which began in 2008 with the Upper Cisokan Pumped Storage Hydro-Electrical (1,040 MW) Power Project (P112158).

As a result, the UCPS environmental and social assessment has been informed by a wide range of studies, stakeholder engagement activities, and reports conducted by PLN from 1998 to 2020. The documentation prepared for the World Bank funding appraisal for the ‘Development of Pumped Storage Hydropower in the Java-Bali System Project (P172256)’ updates and synthesizes this extensive body of work and engagement. These updates reflect the current state of the project and ensure compliance with the World Bank’s environmental and social standards under the Environmental and Social Framework.
