The plant comprises of two gas turbine combined cycle (GTCC) power generation systems.
The natural-gas-fired power generation facility is being built on Java Island and located within the premises of Tanjung Priok Power Plant, which is owned by Indonesia’s state-owned electricity provider PLN.
Known as ‘Jawa-2 Project’, unit 1 has started its operation as a simple gas turbine system with an output of nearly 300MW.
PLN director WS Haryanto said: “We appreciate MHPS’ enormous efforts for this project. We are sure that the strong relationship between PLN and MHPS will continue in the future.
“As a result, the operation of unit 2 as a simple gas turbine and combined cycle operation will also begin as a contracted delivery schedule.”
