Power stations
DES provides over 58% of the nation's electricity, mostly to residential areas, through the operation of four natural gas power plants (Gadong 1A, Gadong 2, Bukit Panggal, and Lumut) and one diesel power plant (Belingos). Together, DES and the Berakas Power Company (BPC) supply 889 MW of electrical power, of which DES provides 609 MW and BPC provides 280 MW. Serving key locations such government buildings and medical facilities, BPC provides 42% of the electricity and runs three significant natural gas stations (Berakas, Gadong 3, and Jerudong). General Electric turbine models are used by both DES and BPC; DES uses frame 5 and frame 6B turbines.
