Vestas to supply Indonesia's first wind projects

Vestas is to supply turbines for a 60MW wind farm in Indonesia, following
the signing of a power purchase agreement (PPA) with government-owned
electricity company PLN.

Vestas is part of a consortium that includes Equis, a Singapore-based
investment fund group financing renewable and conventional energy projects
in Asia-Pacific.

The wind farm will be built in the South Sulawesi province. It is the second
Indonesian wind project announced that will use Vestas turbines.

Earlier this year Asia Green Capital confirmed that the turbine maker is the
engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor on the 62MW
Jeneponto 1 wind project, which is also being built in South Sulawesi.

Asia Green Capital is still negotiating its PPA with PLN for this project
but expects to sign by the end of October.

Construction of Jeneponto 1 site is expected to start before the end of 2016
and use ten Vestas V126-3.3MW and nine Vestas V117-3.3MW turbines.

The Indonesian government has set itself a target of 35GW of additional
energy capacity, as the country has one of the lowest electricity supply
levels in the world, with more than 15% of the population without access to
electricity.

Of this amount renewable energy must supply around 23%, equivalent to 8GW,
by 2020. Wind and solar photovoltaics are both competitive with conventional
fuel.

Asia Green Capital is one of the largest independent power producers (IPP)
in Indonesia, along with UPC Renewables, and is the only IPP developing
projects in south-east Asia's main economies, including Thailand, the
Philippines and Vietnam.
