Semarang, C Java (Antara) - A consortium of Indonesian and Chinese companies plans to build a thermal power plant with a 5,000-megawatt capacity at Bunton village in Central Java's Cilacap district.
"The private project worth Rp92 trillion will use Chinese technology and will be developed by PT Jawa Energi Baru," Head of the Central Java Provincial Energy and Mineral Resources Office Teguh Dwi Paryono said here on Friday.
The power plant, which will be built on 150 hectares of land, will mainly supply electricity to a new industrial estate, which covers 450 hectares in the village, he stated.
The land includes those owned by the Indonesian Army, Central Java provincial government, and local residents, he noted.
"While 15 hectares of the land is owned by local residents, 50 hectares belong to the Central Java provincial government," he revealed.
According to him, the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) has given the license for the project. "The other permits required are from the governor, the electrical power supply permit, and environment permit," he added.
If the licensing process runs smoothly, the project can be started in 2015, he remarked.
"It will take four years to build the power plant. The first phase of the project will produce 2,000 megawatts and the second phase will produce 3,000 megawatts," he said. (WDY)
