PT PLN Indonesia Power’s Generation Business Unit (UBP) Labuhan Angin is providing a broad opportunity for the Tapteng Regency Government and the Sibolga City Government to utilize fly ash and bottom ash (Faba) waste.

This opportunity is outlined in the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with both regions.

The cooperation is a strategic step to support sustainable infrastructure development and post-disaster recovery.

PLN Indonesia Power UBP Labuhan Angin together with the Tapteng Regency Government and Sibolga City Government are committed to continuously strengthening collaboration to promote sustainable and environmentally friendly infrastructure development.

The signing of the MoU with the Tapteng Regency Government took place at the Tapteng Regent’s Office.

The signing of the MoU with the Sibolga City Government was carried out at the Sibolga Mayor’s Official Residence.

The Faba produced from the operations of the Labuhan Angin Power Plant has great potential to support regional infrastructure development, especially following the floods and landslides that occurred in several areas of Tapanuli Tengah and Sibolga City.

It is hoped that through this cooperation, the utilization of Faba will comply with regulations, be safe for the environment, and provide tangible benefits for the community.

Plans are for Faba to be used as a construction material to partially replace cement, for making concrete blocks, paving blocks, and various other construction products.

Furthermore, Faba can also be utilized as a subbase layer in road construction and repair.

Faba-based paving blocks can also be used for the normalization and rehabilitation of public facility buildings, such as schools, places of worship, and other public amenities, thereby supporting the acceleration of regional infrastructure recovery.

This cooperation is part of the commitment to supporting responsible environmental management and the application of sustainable development principles.

Through this utilization of FABA, it is hoped to make a tangible contribution to regional development while supporting post-disaster infrastructure recovery.

It serves as the center of local government, overseeing the region’s development and public services. While the building itself is a modern functional structure, its history is tied to the 2003 formation of the Central Tapanuli Regency, which was carved out of the larger Tapanuli region to improve local governance.

Sibolga Mayor’s Official Residence

The Sibolga Mayor’s Official Residence is the historic administrative home and office of the mayor of Sibolga, a port city on the west coast of North Sumatra, Indonesia. While specific construction dates are not widely documented, the residence symbolizes the city’s colonial and administrative history, reflecting Dutch architectural influences from its period as a significant trading hub. It remains a functional government building and a local landmark representing civic authority.

Labuhan Angin Power Plant

The Labuhan Angin Power Plant is a geothermal power facility located in North Sumatra, Indonesia. It was developed to harness the region’s significant volcanic resources, with its first unit commissioned in the early 2000s as part of Indonesia’s national strategy to increase renewable energy production. The plant utilizes steam from the Sibayak volcanic area, contributing clean electricity to the local grid and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
