Indonesia’s state owned PLN plans to construct 10,000 MW of power plants. Coal-fired plants will be a major chunk of this energy mix that includes the Jawa 4 power plant, the Cirebon expansion plant, the Cilacap expansion plant, the Jawa 7 and the Jawa 3.
The plans are in tune with the government’s program to supply an additional 35,000 MW of electricity within five years. Currently, Indonesia has a total installed power plant capacity of about 55,000 MW with electrification ratio estimated at 88 percent (in end of 2015).
Last year in December, PLN agreed to purchase 17,000 MW of electricity from IPPs while another 2,000 MW (approximately) have been purchased in the last two months.
15,500 MW of power purchase agreements are also expected to be completed by the state-owned entity by end of 2016, while the remaining capacity of almost 2,000 MW in 2017. The government’s aim to add 35,000 MW in the next 5 years is necessary for economic growth.
The Batang project in Central Java is another project that is expected to increase Indonesia’s electricity capacity. However, the project faced hurdles of land acquisition in the past. Recently the Supreme Court allowed land acquisition for the project, and it’s expected to take-off soon.
More on Indonesia’s power projects and plans will be discussed at CMT’s Electric Power Asia on 25-26 July, 2016 in Yangon.
