Jakarta (Antara Bali) - State electricity company PLN has canceled construction of two power plants which were originally part of the second phase of the construction of power plants with a combined capacity of 10,000 megawatts due to lack of gas supplies.
The canceled power plants with a combined capacity of 740 megawatts were gas-fueled power plant called PLTG Muara Tawar Add-On Blok 2 with a capacity of 1x500 megawatts in Bekasi, West Java, and thermal power plant called PLTGU Senoro with a capacity of 2x120 megawatts in Central Sulawesi, according to a PLN document obtained on Friday.
PLN had originally planned to build the second phase of power plants with a combined capacity of 10,000 megawatts.
The document also said three other power plant projects had been excluded from the second phase of the construction of 10,000 megawatt capacity power plants because they would be financed by the government.
The three projects were PLTU Sampit with a capacity of 2x25 megawatts in Central Kalimantan, PLTU Kotabaru with a capacity of 2x7 megawatts in South Kalimatan, and PLTG Kaltim with a capacity of 2x50 megawatts in East Kalimantan.*
