Jawa Timur — Provincial Grid + Surabaya DC Cluster

East Java carries the heaviest single coal block on the entire Indonesian system: PLTU Paiton (4.71 GW) feeds the eastern 500 kV ring while PLTGU Gresik (1.58 GW gas) anchors the Surabaya metropolitan load. The Java-Bali submarine interconnect lands at Banyuwangi, and Surabaya peering picks up the southern extension of the Singapore-Jakarta cable system. Layered on top: a 20 kV overlay covering the emerging Surabaya DC cluster plus the heavy-industrial intakes at Petrokimia Gresik, Semen Gresik, Tuban Semen Indonesia, the Sidoarjo petrochemical belt, and the Tanjung Awar-Awar coal terminal.

Surabaya DC Cluster · 20 kV Feeder Detail

Operator-level detail of the Surabaya DC cluster — the secondary peering point for the SG-JK extensions. Capacity expressed as IT load (MW) with the corresponding utility transformer rating (kVA). Confidence reflects how directly the address is sourced (high → press release / regulatory; medium → operator website; low → estate centroid).

Industrial Intakes · Petrochemical, Cement, Coal Terminals

The heavy industrial draw on the eastern Java ring: Petrokimia and Semen Gresik in the Gresik corridor, the Sidoarjo petrochemical belt, Tuban Semen Indonesia, and the Tanjung Awar-Awar coal terminal. These intakes typically peg between 30 and 250 MW and represent the dominant non-residential load on the ring outside Surabaya itself.

        Continue across the Java ring — west into Jawa Tengah + DIY, further west into Jawa Barat, or north-west into the Jakarta + Banten load centre.

        Jawa Tengah + DIY

        Tanjung Jati B, Rembang, Semarang, Solo, Yogyakarta

        North-coast coal corridor with Tanjung Jati B (2.64 GW) anchoring the central Java backbone. Lower DC density but a critical 500 kV bridge between the Jakarta load centre and the Paiton block to the east.

        Jawa Barat

        Cirata, Saguling, Bandung, Cirebon, Indramayu

        Hydro and geothermal heartland: Cirata 1.0 GW reservoir plus the Wayang Windu / Salak / Patuha geothermal complex. Hosts the Sentul + Karawang + Bandung DC clusters.

        DKI Jakarta + Banten

        Suralaya, Muara Karang, Cawang, Bekasi, Cikarang

        Highest-density node on the Java-Bali grid — coastal coal + city-edge gas with 18+ known DC operators and ~11.5 GW peak load. Primary peering for the SG-JK cable systems.

        Footnote: The Java-Bali submarine interconnect lands at Banyuwangi (Ketapang substation) on the eastern tip of the province; this page treats Banyuwangi as a Jatim node for visualization, but operationally the cable carries Bali's 200-300 MW peak draw. Industrial intakes around Gresik, Tuban and Sidoarjo are sourced from PLN UID Jatim feeder maps and OSM tagging; capacities reflect contracted MVA at the 150/20 kV transformer where published, otherwise peak demand from corporate ESG filings. Confidence levels on individual rows: high = official filing or operator press release with explicit address, medium = operator website lists area and was geocoded to estate centroid, low = inferred from peering or sales material with placement at industrial-estate centroid. The 20 kV layer is curated for visualization, not a complete distribution map.
