MHPS to Provide Core Equipment for Re-Expansion of Indonesia's Tanjung Jati
B Coal-Fired Power Plant

Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, Ltd. (MHPS) has received an order to
provide two ultra-supercritical-pressure boilers and four electrostatic
precipitators for Units 5 and 6 of the Tanjung Jati B coal-fired power plant
in Indonesia. The equipment on order will serve as the core of the
ultra-supercritical-pressure coal-fired power facility, with each unit
having an output capacity of 1,000 megawatts (MW). The equipment is
scheduled to commence operations in 2021.

The Tanjung Jati B re-expansion project involves an independent power
producer (IPP) supported by Sumitomo Corporation, Kansai Electric Power Co.,
Inc., and PT United Tractors Tbk, an affiliate company of Indonesia's PT
Astra International Tbk conglomerate. Located in central Java, the Tanjung
Jati B plant supplies power to PT PLN (Persero), Indonesia's state-owned
electricity provider, under a long-term purchase agreement, established at
the plant's inauguration. Units 5 and 6 will bolster the existing units (1
to 4), helping to meet strong energy demand in Indonesia.

MHPS previously delivered two boilers for the Units 3 and 4 of the plant,
which were completed in 2011 and 2012 respectively. MHPS will be able to
further contribute to the plant's stable operation with the two additional
systems.

Demand for electric power in Indonesia is increasing rapidly, in line with
the country's strong economic development. In response, the Indonesian
Government is implementing an initiative to boost the country's power
capacity by 35,000 MW. The large-scale project to expand the facilities at
Tanjung Jati B represents a significant step towards meeting this goal.

MHPS has a strong track record in reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2)
emissions through its highly efficient coal-fired power plants. Going
forward, the Company will continue to proactively communicate and promote
its strengths across a broad range of countries and regions, including
Indonesia, highlighting its contribution to a stable energy supply, as well
as significant environmental advantages.
