Indonesia's state-owned electricity firm PT PLN has contracted MAN Diesel & Turbo to deliver a total of 20 MAN 51/60DF engines. Ten of these engines will be installed in three power plants for which the company will take on EPC (engineering, procurement, construction) responsibilities.
"This contract has a total value of over 100 million Euros,? said Wayne Jones OBE, Chief Sales Officer at MAN Diesel & Turbo in a statement on Wednesday.
MAN said that ten of the engines, which will be delivered as gensets together with alternators, are to power five new power plants, each with a capacity of 15 or 20 MW.
An Indonesian consortium of companies is responsible for their construction and they are to be put into operation in mid-2018. The engines are to be fueled first by diesel and later by natural gas. Part of the arrangement is also a long-term service agreement with MAN PrimeServ, the worldwide after-sales brand of MAN Diesel & Turbo, who will maintain the new plants for five years.
The company said a further ten engines will be installed in three power plants for which MAN Diesel & Turbo, along with Indonesian engineering and construction company PT Wijaya Karya (Persero) Tbk (WIKA), will take EPC responsibility. The two companies will divide the engineering, procurement and construction tasks between them.
While WIKA is taking on the construction of the power plants and overall project management, MAN Diesel & Turbo is responsible for the delivery and commissioning of the engines and alternators, and also for the technical equipment, electrical systems and design of the power houses. A formalized five-year full operation and maintenance agreement is also part of the package.
Two of the power plants, each with a capacity of 50 MW, will be built in Bima on Sumbawa, an island in the province of West Nusa Tenggara. The third will be built in Maumere on the island of East Nusa Tenggara. All three plants are to run at base-load operation and soon be powered with gas.
