Wartsila to supply main equipment for a 240 MW power plant to Indonesia

The national utility of Indonesia, PT PLN (Persero), has appointed a
consortium between PT WIKA and TSK Electronica Y Electricidad S.A. to
deliver a peaking power plant in Lhokseumawe, Aceh, North Sumatra,
Indonesia. The power plant will be powered by 13 Wartsila 50SG engines,
operating on natural gas and providing an output of approximately 240 MW.
Wartsila will deliver gensets and performance related equipment to TSK.

The order is booked for the second quarter of 2017, while the first
deliveries are expected in 2018 and the power plant is expected to be fully
operational in the first half of 2019. The Sumbagut-2 Peaker Power Plant
will be the largest peaking power plant with Wartsila technology in
Indonesia and will be located next to the existing PLTMG Arun power plant
that was delivered by Wartsila and PT WIKA in 2015.

In addition, this will be the first Wartsila power plant in Indonesia using
the Wartsila 50SG engines. "This project is a significant step to establish
a new business relationship with TSK for future endeavours and at the same
time further nurture the long term relationship between PLN and Wartsila.
Wartsila has a strong commitment to develop efficient power supply in
Indonesia and enable a transfer to a more sustainable, affordable and
reliable power system", comments Robert Stoor, Business Development Manager,
South East Asia, Wartsila Energy Solutions. "There has been a shortage of
electricity capacity in northern Sumatra for a long period", says Francisco
Martín Morales de Castilla, Managing Director Power & Industrial Plants, TSK
Electronica Y Electricidad S.A. "As part of PLN's long term electricity
supply business plan (RUPTL), the utility has decided to install new peaking
capacity in the region.

The produced electricity will be supplied to the Sumatra grid and Wartsila's
technology has been selected based on the company's proven capability to
deliver high quality, extremely efficient and flexible power plant
solutions", he continues. Wartsila has been present in Indonesia for more
than 40 years. Upon completion of this project, Wartsila will have over 4 GW
of installed capacity in the country. Globally, Wartsila's installed base is
over 63 GW in 176 countries.

The agreement was signed by Mr Francisco Martín, Managing Director - Power
and Industrial Plants, TSK, and Mr Javier Cavada, President of Wartsila
Energy Solutions.
