Indonesian state-owned utility Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) formally launched operations at three new coal-fired power plants.
The 625 MW Banten 1 plant in Suralaya, Banten, a US$478m project built by the China National Technical Import and Export Corp. and Indonesia’s state-owned Rekayasa Industri, is expected to consume 2.9Mt/yr of coal, with supplies coming from Kalimantan and Sumatra on a 20-year contract.
The US$808.4m Banten 3 project in Lontar, Banten, has a capacity of 3 x 315 MW and was built by a consortium that included Chinese power equipment giant Dongfang Electric Corp. and Dalle Energy.The two Banten plants are expected to be supported by the completion of a transmission network connecting Labuan, Saketi, and Rangkas Bitung, three cities in Banten province.
In central Java, the government also started up two new 662 MW units at the existing 1320 MW Tanjung Jati B coal fired power plant.
