Japanese-built power plant in Java switches on

A new power plant completed ahead of schedule by the Japanese is now supplying Indonesia with 2,640 MW of badly needed electricity.

The Tanjung Jati B Coal-Fired Power Plant in Java will account for some 13% of the power supply for the entire Java-Bali power system.

Work on the new Units 3 and 4 was completed by a Japanese consortium more than three months ahead of schedule. The units have a total power generation capacity of 1,320 MW or 660 MW per unit. Two existing generators have a similar combined output.

Tanjung Jati B began supplying electricity to the state electricity company PT PLN early this month. The growth in Indonesia’s electricity demand is estimated at an average rate of 9% per year until 2019.

The consortium that built Tanjung Jati B was led by Japanese giants Sumitomo Corporation, Toshiba Corporation, Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding Co., Ltd and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd.

The completion ceremony was attended by Jero Wacik, Indonesia's Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources; the governor of Central Java Province; other Indonesian government officials; representatives from the Japan Bank for International Cooperation; Nippon Export and Investment Insurance and private banks.
