W. Nusa Tenggara to have coal-generated power plants

Mataram, West Nusa Tengara (ANTARA News) - West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) will soon build four coal-generated power plants with a production capacity of 2 X 6 Megawatt to 2 X 25 Megawatt each, a spokesman of the provincial administration said.

"The 2 X 25 Megawatt power plant will be built in Endok Bay of Lombok Barat district," Mangagukang said.

The scheme for the power plants was still being discussed, he said.

He said the construction of the power plants was part of the acceleration program of the power plant development out of Java and Bali, which its bid document was expected to be completed this year.

The 2 X 10 Megawatt power plant would be built in Bima district and the 2 X 6 Megawatt power plant would be built in Badas, Sumbawa district.

The province has been seen as one of the regions facing electricity crisis, he said. The local electricity service office had no longer accepted new clients, despite the fact that 75,000 people have been registered in the waiting list, he added.
