Norway SN Power aims to build hydro plant in Indonesia

SN Power AS, a Norwegian state-owned enterprise, will build a hydroelectric
plant in Indonesia next year, Norway's Ambassador to Indonesia Stig Traavik
has said.

Stig said the plan was currently being discussed with state-owned
electricity company PLN. Therefore, he could not yet elaborate on the amount
of the investment or the exact construction date. However, he said he
expects to see an agreement and subsequent progress next year.

"This is a company that has invested a lot in hydro power all over the world
[.] the company is very seriously looking for the opportunity here," he said
in the State-Owned Enterprises Ministry's office on Monday.

Running several plants in Laos, Myanmar, and the Philippines, SN Power is
one of the biggest providers of hydroelectricity in Norway. Its parent,
Statkraft, is the biggest renewable energy company in Europe.

PLN corporate planning director Nicke Widyawati said SN Power's project was
not included in the plan to generate an additional 35,000 megawatts of
electricity in the country because it would operate as an independent power
plant for industrial estates.

"We are offering some potential places in Kalimantan because the island has
big rivers. Then the power plant can supply electricity to the industrial
estates nearby," she said.
