15 MW power plant PLTD Projects

Through recent and numerous power outage occurrences, Indonesian Power company (Perusahaan Listrik Negara: PLN) has started an initiative for mid-scale power generation scheme. This is done to support the 10000MW PLTU (coal powered generator) that in certain cases has lost its momentum to get some of the projects up and running and moreover completing them .

This initiative is involving setting up smaller scale Power generation using diesel fuel instead of Coal powered.

Currently, PT Makro is pushing inwards into the power generation field and Industry.  Recently, we have won contracts to provide electricity to numerous location through burning of diesel fuel. This method of power generation is called PLTD which is an acronym for Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Diesel. The contracts won are located at various small cities and town. They are in Putu Sibau, Kalimantan Barat; Nangga Pinoh, Kalimantan Barat; Semitau, Kalimantan Barat; Balai Karangan; Kalimantan Barat; Bau bau, Sulawesi Selatan; Wangi wangi, Sulawesi Selatan.  The contracts in 6 cities that totalled for 11 MW capacity in electric generation.

This is done by making initial investments to set up the infrastructure which we build, own and operate. PLN will then purchase electricity based on per KW/h usage basis.
