Sibulan is a 42.5MW greenfield hydropower project featuring two cascading run-of-river hydro power plants that harness the Sibulan and Baroring Rivers.

The project is registered under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) as a Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) project that will sell certified emission reduction units (CERs) to industrialized countries.
