Deputy Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Planning Luky Eko Wuryanto was quoted as saying at a press briefing that the plant is one of the country’s key projects under the Government’s master plan on acceleration and expansion of long-term economic development.
The four-billion-USD plant is said to use environmentally-friendly ultra-supercritical boilers to generate 2,000MW of electricity per year once completed by 2016.
According to Wuryanto , Indonesia needs at least 4,000MW additional of electricity each year to sustain its annual economic growth of over 6 percent.
The project is carried out by Indonesia’s PT Bhimasena Power Group along with J-Power Electric Power Development Company under Japan’s Itochi Power Corporation and Indonesia’s Adarro Energy company.-VNA
