TEMPO Interactive, Jakarta:The Balikpapan City Government, East Kalimantan, will inaugurate a 80 MW Power Plant.
This power plant construction could resolve Balikpapan’s electricity deficit.
“The power plant will be soon inaugurated at Batakan,” said Balikpapan mayor Imdaad Hamid today.
According to Imdaad, the power plant is built to supply a need of 92 MW of electricity in Balikpapan.
The project is included in the development program of 10,000 MW of power plants in East Kalimantan.
When in use, Imdaad said, the Balikpapan power plant will join with the Mahakam System belonging to state-owned power firm PLN.
“This power plant will reduce the electricity deficit for Balikpapan residents,” he said.
The East Kalimantan PLN Mahakam System still suffers a 20 MW deficit to fulfill a peak load of 200 MW.
As a consequence, PLN have to alternate electricity blackouts in Balikpapan, Samarinda and Tenggarong.
