PNGFP Hydro

The most experienced Hydro Power Operator and Developer in Papua New Guinea

Operating both the oldest and the newest hydro power stations in the country, PNGFP Hydro is a major Independent Power Producer (IPP) operating three hydro power stations with a combined installed capacity of 14.9MW at Baiune near Bulolo. Our pre-war Lower Baiune power station has operated continuously since it was recommissioned in 1947 and still operates at nameplate capacity. PNGFP operates as the power supply authority in Bulolo supplying power to local businesses and domestic consumers.

The Only IPP to Supply Hydro Power to PNG Power

Commissioned in January 2013, the 9.4MW Upper Baiune power station was built for the sole purpose of supplying power to the Ramu Grid, making it the only hydro power station built by an IPP for the sole purpose of supplying power to PNG Power.

We continue to invest heavily in Hydro, commissioning our fourth power station in 2023.  The Sneath Power Station has the capacity to feed 12MW into PPL’s Ramu grid and raising our capacity to supply PPL to a total of 22MW…. over 25% of the Ramu grid’s total power output.
