Electric and state utility firm Perusahaan Listrik Negara on Monday signed a
Letter of Intent to cooperate in the development of a model renewable energy
power plant in Sumba, East Nusa Tenggara.
Under the
agreement, GE will provide expertise in the construction of a power plant on
Sumba that will use Integrated Biomass Gasification technology, according to a
GE statement.
The plant,
which is expected to produce 1 megawatt of electricity, will use wood chips as
fuel.
“PLN is
certain that the technology and the experts from GE can play an important role
in the development of an electricity plant using biomass in Indonesia,” PLN
president director Nur Pamudji said after the signing.
He said
success in Sumba would demonstrate the technical and economic feasibility of
expanding the nation's electricity grid to isolated regions using biomass fuels
and could also become a model for similar power plants elsewhere.
“GE is
committed in bringing the latest technology and solutions to help Indonesia
overcome its challenges in developing the country,” GE Indonesian CEO Handry
Satriago said.
