Makassar, S Sulawesi (ANTARA News) - Construction service company PT Bumi Karsa plans to build two micro hydro power plants in Gowa and Palopo districts, South Sulawesi, at a total cost of Rp68 billion this year.
The construction of the Gowa power plant with a capacity of 2 megawatts would cost an estimated Rp28.5 billion, Fajaruddin, the company`s director for western region, said here on Friday.
The power plant would make use of water from Tanggara River, he said.
He said the company would spend about Rp40 billion on constructing the Palopo power plant with a capacity of 4 megawatts. The power plant would take advantage of water from Kadundung River to generate electricity.
It would take one year to build the Gowa power plant and one and a half years to build the Palopo power plant, he said.
He said the company was expected to sell electrical power from the two power plants to state electricity company PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN).
He said the Gowa power plant would be able to meet power demand from 4,000 household customers, while the Palopo power plant would be able to supply electrical power to 5,500 household customers.
The company would start constructing the two hydro power plants shortly after it signed a cooperation contract with PT PLN, he said.
