Waai's coal-fired plant scheduled to start by mid-2013

The coal-fired power plant in Waai village, Central Maluku, Indonesia is scheduled to start operating in mid-2013.

 

This was announced by PLN General Manager for Maluku, Julian Tamsir.

He said the 70 KV master powerhouses in Ambon will be installed in Baguala Passo and Sirimau subdistricts.

"The construction of the two powerhouses will be completed in July or August 2012, and the networks will consist of seven towers already built," Julian said.

He said the building of PLTU Waai is supervised by the project management in Makasar.

"We have were told that the construction of PLTU Waai had been delayed because of field problems but the difficulties had already been overcome," he said.

He added that the construction of the 2 x 7 MW PLTU Tidore in North Maluku is faster and scheduled for operation in September 2012, while the 200 kWp solar power plant in Morotai is now already operating.

"If the PLTU and PLTS in Maluku and North Maluku are operating, fuel oil consumption could be reduced," Julian said.
