Mitsubishi gensets to power Indonesian islands

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Engine & Turbocharger (MHIET) has been
contracted to supply 147 MGS Series diesel generator sets in Indonesia to
state-owned electric utility PT PLN (Persero).

Indonesia, which is made up of thousands of islands, depends on such
independently-operated power systems for electricity generation.

PT PLN intends to have the gensets to become operational by mid-2018 across
19 districts of Kalimantan and three districts of Sulawesi. MHIET will be
supplying its MGS1500C line of gensets which are the prime offering of the
MGS Series range.

Each of the gensets would generate continuous energy of 1.2 MW. Owing to
their operation at high speeds, MHIET has manufactured their engines to be
in small in size and light in weight.

The Japanese firm says that several MGS1500C gensets can be installed even
in limited space due to their size, thus providing a major advantage to
their users.

By September end, MHIET will be completing the manufacturing and shipping of
the 147 gensets. The company's subsidiary Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Engine
System Asia (MHIES-A) will source the required generators and other
associated equipment and components.

MHIET stated that after completion of the power generating sets, its
Indonesian dealer Berkat Manunggal Jaya (BMJ) will install the gensets and
carry out test operations before delivering them on its behalf to PLN.
The Japanese firm will be responsible for providing remote monitoring
services from its head office in Sagamihara for all installations once they
enter into commercial operation.
