The first unit of the 2 x 300 MW Cilacap coal-fired power plant in Central Java is expected to start supplying electricity to the Java-Bali grid in January next year, a company official said Wednesday.
?The second unit will follow in April,? PT Pembangkitan Jawa Bali (PJB) president Samiudin told reporters after a hearing with the House of Representatives' Commission VII. PJB is a subsidiary of state-owned electricity firm PT PLN.
The Cilacap power plant is owned and operated by PT Sumber Segara Primadaya (SSP).
According to Samiudin, PLN has agreed to buy the electricity produced from the power plant at a price of US$0.0457 per kilowatt-hour. (maya)
