Wärtsilä to supply gas-fueled power plant in Indonesia

Wärtsilä will supply equipment to a new, gas-fueled power plant in Indonesia.

When operational, it will serve the regional electricity grid, and will be the first ever gas-fired combustion engine based peaking power plant in Indonesia. The plant is to be located in Sei Gelam Jambi in Sumatra.

PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara, the state-owned utility company, will utilize the new facility primarily to supply power during the evening peak load hours. It will be powered by eleven 20-cylinder Wärtsilä 34SG generator sets in V-configuration, operating on compressed natural gas and providing an output of 110 MW. Wärtsilä will also supply the necessary auxiliary equipment as well as building materials. Everything is being delivered on a fast-track basis, as the plant is scheduled to be built and fully operational before the end of 2012.

"Wärtsilä has been selected as the preferred supplier by PT PP (Persero) Tbk, the Engineering, Procurement and Construction main contractor to PT. PLN, based on the company's proven capability to deliver high quality, and extremely efficient power plant solutions, on a fast-track basis," says Mr Taufiq Aria, Head of EPC Division, PT PP (Persero) Tbk.
