Indonesia's state-owned power company PT PLN has announced that it would expand it 462 MW Grati CCGT power plant in Pasuruan (East Java, Indonesia) with the construction of a 450 MW CCGT power plant, in the framework of the Indonesia's 35,000 MW project. PT PLN has signed an engineering, procurement, construction (EPC) contract with a consortium of Samsung C&T, Lotte and PT Hutama Karya. The power plant is expected to be commissioned 26 months after the contract is effective (2017). It will serve as a peak unit for the Java-Bali power system.
Indonesia is facing a soaring electricity consumption (8-9%/year on average) due to a steady economic growth (5-6%/year). Since the establishment of PT PLN in 1945, installed capacity has exceeded 50 GW (nearly 54 GW in 2014). The government plans to add 35 GW, of which 10 GW (35 projects) will be installed by PT PLN and the remaining 25 GW (74 projects) by private companies.
