PT Adaro Power, a subsidiary of IDX-listed PT Adaro Energy Tbk, is interested to participate in the tender of two coal-fired power plant projects in East Kalimantan held by state-owned electricity firm PT PLN.

PLN announced recently tenders for four coal-fired power plant projects (PLTU), which are part of the 35,000 MW program.

The four projects are PLTU Bangka-1 (2 x 100 MW), PLTU Kalselteng-3 (2 x 100 MW), PLTU Kaltim-3 (1 x 200 MW), and PLTU Kaltim-6 (1 x 200 MW), the last two of which are located in East Kalimantan Province.

"In principle, we are interested on the East Kalimantan power (plant) projects to support the 35,000 MW program. We are discussing internally regarding our interest on the tenders," Adaro Power's Vice President Director Dharma Djojonegoro said to Petromindo.com on Monday.
