Tanjung Jati B Electric Generating Station's Expansion Project, Central Java Province, Republic of Indonesia

摘要

Units 3 and 4 expand the Tanjung Jati Electric Generating Station's capacity by adding 1,320 MW of reliable power that helps to boost Indonesia's growing economy. Now the 2,640-MW coal-fired facility provides approximately 12% of the electricity available on the Java-Bali grid. The new units feature a flue gas desulfurization system and electrostatic precipitators that reduce air emissions and protect the environment. Delivering reliable electricity to more than 238 million citizens in a country with more than 17,000 islands is no easy matter. Despite the challenges, PT PLN, the state-operated utility, is working hard to meet Indonesian electrical needs. The country is the largest economy in Southeast Asia and a member of the G-20 major economies. According to World Trade Organization data, Indonesia was the 27th biggest exporting country in the world in 2010. The Tanjung Jati B Electric Generating Station is doing its part to carry out the national energy strategy of bolstering economic growth. Indonesia has been facing a tight electricity demand/supply situation in line with the increased electricity needs that come with economic growth. Moreover, electricity demand throughout the country is estimated to grow at an average rate of 9% per year until 2019, according to a statement released by Sumitomo Corp., one of the major contractors involved in the Tanjung Jati B plant's expansion project.
