Current Power Plant Built in the Natuna Sea will
Riau Islands province develop ocean current power generation to power in the outer islands.

"While developed for marine energy generation plants, using the power of ocean currents," said Specialist Marine Eddywan, Saturday (9/6).

Based on joint research oceanographer Provesor Hashim Djalal, ocean currents known in Riau Islands waters can result in thousands of giga volt so fond, if not utilized.

"His energy was very great, the turbine could generate," said he who earned a master's degree from Tokyo University for marine pawns.

Riau Islands, he said, will use a simple technology in ocean energy generators, so that could be used by rural communities and low budget. "The budget is only around Rp 100 millions," he said.

Development, he said, would be done early 2013. "We've proposed a budget to Rp600 million 2013 budget, not big," he said.

In early 2013, he said, the team will look for a potential point for marine energy, and mapping of alternative energy generation centers. Mid-year will be assessed using simple technology masyarajat application will then be tested. And at the end of the year is distributed to the public.

"The start of 2014 has begun to be applied," he said.

Actually, ocean current power generation technologies already widely known internationally, however, because it uses a relatively expensive high-tech, it is difficult to apply in Indonesia.

Riau Islands, trying to reduce costs and try to use simple technology to be used by people.

As an early stage, the technology will be applied on the outer islands are inhabited Homeland. "As Keramut Island and Sea Island in Natuna regency and provincial
