Indonesia: New Coal-based Power Plant to be Built in Central Java

Indonesia Power, a subsidiary of state-owned electricity company PLN, is set
to build a coal-based power plant (PLTGU) in Semarang, Central Java.

It is expected that the power plant will begin operating in 2020.

"The power plant will provide an additional supply of electricity amount
into 780 MW or equal to supplying 5 million households," said PT. Indonesia
Power President Director Sripeni Inten Cahyani on Saturday, July 15.

"This power plant is one of the implementations of the government's 35,000
MW electricity project," said, adding that the project is worth Rp4.8
trillion.

Sripeni added that the power plant would be built on land that already has a
power plant so there will be no issue when it comes to a land clearing.
