Indonesia: Jawa 4 Power Plant to Begin Operations in 2021

Indonesia: Jawa 4 Power Plant to Begin Operations in 2021

State-owned electricity company PT PLN expects that coal-fired power plant
(PLTU) Jawa 4 to begin operations in May and September 2021. The power plant
with a capacity of 2 x 1000 MW is being built in Jepara Regency, Central
Java.

"PLTU Jawa 4 is expected to contribute in improving the interconnected power
system in Java and Bali and will be connected to a 500 KV transmission line
in Tanjung Jati-Tx Ungaran," Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Ignasius
Jonan told a press conference yesterday.

Jonan broke ground on PLTU Jawa 4 project on August 31. He confirmed that
the power plant will enhance power supply to consumers and industries. "The
PLTU project is part of the accelerated power plant development program with
a total capacity of 35,000 MW."

He explained that the government and PT PLN are aiming to establish 109
power plants, including PLTU Jawa 4. The project is signed under an
independent power producer (IPP) scheme on 77.4 hectares of land. The
construction phase is expected to be completed in 50-54 months, starting in
April.

Tempo learned that PLTU Jawa 4 will adopt the latest ultra-supercritical
(USC) technology that operates above the critical pressures and temperatures
for water. The system creates equilibrium between gas and liquid, resulting
in higher efficiency.

A power plant with USC technology is 8-10 percent more efficient compared to
other coal-based power plants. Another advantage is it will need less coal
consumption and create lower gas emission, making it more environmentally
friendly.
