ChevronTexaco Energy Indonesia Ltd. (CTEI) will be able to resume the construction of its geothermal power plant, Dradjat III, in the regency of Garut after receiving a go ahead from the district administration, Asia Pulse reported Tuesday.
Earlier the Garut administration withheld the principle license for the project due to a delay in working out the compensation amount for the local community.
Field Community Development Coordinator of CTEI Deddy Supardi said contractor PT. Thiess Contractors Indonesia had resumed work on the project.
Construction of the 105 megawatt power plant with an investment of around US$130 million is expected to be completed as scheduled in June 2006. (*)
