Independent power producer PT Adaro Power, a subsidiary of IDX-listed coal giant PT Adaro Energy Tbk, is eying the planned PLTGU Jawa-Bali 3 Peaker combined-cycle power plant and PLTGU Jawa-Bali 4 Peaker combined-cycle power plant projects to expand its power plant business, Bisnis Indonesia reported on Tuesday.
The paper quoted Vice President Director of Adaro Power Dharma Djojonegoro as saying the company is currently participating in a pre-qualification tender for the two projects held by state-owned electricity firm PT PLN.
He added that the company is teaming up with Singapore?s Sembcorp Utilities Pte Ltd.
The PLTGU Jawa-Bali 3 project, with capacity of 500 MW, is planned to be developed in Banten Province, while the PLTGU Jawa-Bali 4 project with capacity of 450 MW will be located in West Java.
Dharma said that aside from coal-fired power plant projects, Adaro is also interested in gas-fired power plants, which will play greater role in the country?s future energy mix.
Adaro has started developing a number of coal-fired power plant projects as part of strategy to diversify from coal. (*)
