GE Announces Plans To Support Indonesia's 35 GW Program

Conglomerate General Electric Co. (GE) announced Wednesday that the company
and Barata Indonesia signed a Memorandum of Understanding or MOU to
collaborate on manufacturing parts and provide services for GE's aero
derivatives, heavy duty gas turbines, boilers for coal-fired power plants
and renewable energy solutions.

In addition, GE committed to support a technology pilot that aims to
accelerate rural electrification across Indonesia, a key priority of the
Indonesian Government's poverty alleviation program.

The decisions followed the Future of Electricity Summit hosted by GE, in
association with the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry or KADIN.

During the summit, business and government leaders discussed the digital
transformation of the electricity sector and how digital solutions, now
commercially available, can improve power generation and distribution across
Indonesia.

Summit participants also discussed GE's collaboration with PLN, several of
which were completed in six months after initial discussions.

GE also announced its commitment to fund a pilot project in Eastern
Indonesia to showcase technology which can help electrify remote villages.
This pilot is in support of the government's Bright Indonesia program which
aims to electrify more than 12,600 villages.

The program will deploy digitally-enabled hybrid power solutions. GE is also
testing this hybrid technology in India and Africa.
