STUDI KELAYAKAN PENGGUNAAN MESIN DIESEL DENGAN METODE BREAK EVEN POINT (BEP) DAN ANALISIS SENSITIVITAS PADA PLTD (Studi Kasus : PT PLN Persero Sektor Pembangkitan Lombok PLTD Ampenan)

The existence of electrical energy to be very important for the implementation of national development, both directly and indirectly. Electrical energy must be fulfilled because it is very important for the whole community. To support these efforts, the government gave full authority to PT. State Electricity Company (Persero) to provide and regulate the distribution of electricity to all parts of Indonesia. This study intended to analyze the feasibility of the use of the Power Plant of Ampenan National Electricity Office using the break even point (BEP) and sensitivity analysis. This analysis aims to find an alternative solution to lack of funds, therefore it is necessary to know how the financial condition of the Power Plant of Ampenan National Electricity Office to determine investment costs, operating costs, maintenance costs, and income from the sale of electricity on Power Plant of Ampenan National Electricity Office. Source of data in this study was obtained from the primary data and secondary data. The method used in this study is that the authors will conduct quantitative data collection in the form of numbers required in connection with the matter to be investigated, so that research results can be more trustworthy and reliable truth. From the results obtained the use of diesel engines for the economy price per kWh is Rp 2.595,064 but be very burdensome customers, especially the underprivileged. For that there are several alternatives that can be taken are: first, if the use of the selling price to the public's ability to Rp 800 per kWh and a subsidy of Rp 29.758.612.278 per month, then power plant (PLTD) will have a turnover in the first year of the month to 12 in 2014 to earn a revenue of Rp 159.148.857.478. Secondly, if the use of the selling price to the public's ability to Rp 900 per kWh and a subsidy of Rp 28.100.809.978 per month, then power plant (PLTD) will have a turnover in the first year of the month to 12 in 2014 to earn a revenue of Rp 179.042.464.663. Thirdly, if the use of the selling price to the public's ability to Rp 1000 per kWh and a subsidy of Rp 26.443.007.678 per month, then power plant (PLTD) will have a turnover in the first year of the month to 12 in 2014 to earn a revenue of Rp 199.936.071.847. Then the results of research using sensitivity analysis to changes in the initial investment is known that the increase in initial investment 600,8340525% below power plant (PLTD) is still feasible to operate because the value of NPW> 0. But the power plant (PLTD) would not be feasible to operate when the increase 600,8340525% above the initial investment because the value NPW 0. But if the decline in revenue was down more than 85,73128695% power plant (PLTD) operation is not feasible because NPW value <0.
