As a 130 megawatt (MW) power plant generated by steam and gas (PLTGU), it strengthens Bekasi – Karawang electricity system through Cibatu substation owned by PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN).
By delivering reliable electricity at a competitive price, this plant supports Jababeka business as well as surrounding areas, boosting Indonesia's power capacity and industrial growth for the upcoming years.
Through the scheme of cooperation all electricity will be purchased by PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) at a price of Rp 1,050 per kilowatt hour (kWh).
[4] A BTU is a measure of the energy content in fuel, and is used in the power, steam generation, heating and air conditioning industries.
[1] In term of manufacturing a power plant, private sector needs to see in broader scope.
The areas that are now being observed are: the Special Economic Zone Tanjung Lesung, Kendal Industrial Estate, Cilegon and Morotai.
Ten years later, in 2030, they plan to increase to 3 x130 MW as a Green & Sustainable Energy Power Plant.
At that time they will support electricity for all aspects in Bekasi, Cikarang, and Karawang i.e. housing, traffic system, industrial park, International Trade Center, commercial area, etc.
The government believes that to meet these needs, developers of each industrial estate must build their own power plants.
According to the Chairman of the Indonesian Industrial State Association the imbalance between energy availability and the price offered is not a new issue.
Building a power plant by a private company will always be fully supported by the government of the Republic of Indonesia.
