Japan's Marubeni Corp. has received from an Indonesian government-run electric power company PLN a roughly Y3.6 billion order for three transformer stations to be built in Jakarta, the Nihon Keizai Shimbun Wednesday morning edition reported.
The order is for gas-insulated switchgears as well as the construction-related foundation and installation work. The switchgear order will be filled by Japan AE Power Systems Corp., which was formed through the consolidation of the transmission and distribution equipment operations of Hitachi Ltd., Fuji Electric Co. and Meidensha Corp.
Marubeni has been involved in Indonesia's power-generating industry since before 1997, receiving orders for multiple facilities including the Muara Tawar combined thermal power plant. The trading house has also teamed up with Hitachi in a transformer project.(*)
