Indonesian
state utility Perusahaan Listrik Negara will operate three new coal-fired power
plants in Banten, the company said on Wednesday.
PLN CEO Nur
Pamudji said, these power plants are crucial to step up power capacity in Java
and Bali from 19,700 up to 23,000 megawatt (MW).
The
coal-fired power plant is also said to cut PLN expenses as much as 19.9
trillion rupiah ($2.19 billion) per year, by converting from fuel-based power
plant.
Details on
power plant projects as follows:
— PLTU 1
Banten-Suralya: Capacity at 1 x 625 megawatt with 2.9 million metric tons per
year coal consumption. Located in Suralaya, Banten, with investment size at
around $478 million. The project is run by CNTIC and Indonesia state-owned
Rekayasa Industri consortium.
— PLTU 3
Banten-Lontar: Capacity at 3 x 315 megawatt with 1.4 million metric tons per
year coal consumption. Located in Lontar, Banten, with investment size at
around $808.4 million. The project is run by China power equipment giant
Dongfang Electric Corporation and Dalle Energy consortium.
— PLTU
Tanjung Jati B: Capacity at 2 x 662 megawatt with 2.2 million metric tons per
year coal consumption. Located in Tubanan, Central Java, with investment size
at around 160 billion yen ($2.06 billion). The project is run by Japan’s
third-largest trading firm Sumitomo Corporation, Wasa Mitra Engineering and
Bangladeshi power firm Summit Power Development Ltd.
Indonesia
wants to boost its electricity capacity under the government’s fast-track
program to add a total of 20,000 megawatts generating capacity. Power shortages
are common in Indonesia, where poor infrastructure is one of the factors
restricting growth in Southeast Asia’s largest economy.
