Jakarta (Antara Bali) - The State Audit Board (BPK) will help the government achieve the target of constructing power plants with a combined capacity of 35 thousand megawatts.

"We must support the project to cater to the anticipated demand for electrical power in the future and the BPK audits the use of state funds," BPK member Rizal Djalil said here on Monday.

He made the remarks after attending a coordination meeting to discuss a follow up to the BPK's audit of the Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry.

At the meeting held at the Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB), Rizal said the BPK found many factors impeding the construction of electrical power plants. These problems related to land clearance, financing and lack of regional governments' initiative.  

"Based on the findings, we conclude that problems continue to persist regarding land and financing. If we use the PPP scheme, we must be financially prepared. Otherwise, we will face many problems," he said.

Furthermore, the state electricity company, PT PLN, cannot build power plants itself because it still faces problems related to efficiency and debts.(WDY)
