State utility firm PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) will hand over several of its power plants to PT Indo Power for operation and maintenance (O&M)

Binarto B. Mahardjana, head of business and power transaction division, told petromindo.com that at least 8 power plant units will soon be handed over to Indo Power, namely PLTU Pangkalan Susu (2x20MW), PLTU Sanggau (2x7MW), PLTU Barru (2x50MW), PLTU Haultecamp (2x10MW), PLTU Ambon (2x7MW), PLTU Adipala (660MW), PLTU Jeranjang (1x25MW), and PLTP Ulumbu (2x2.5MW).

Binarto said the handover is expected to speed up the development of Indo Power, in terms of experience and competency in the field of O&M.

"We expect Indo Power to become the benchmark in O&M business for power plants in Indonesia," said Binarto on the sidelines of 2013 IPP Conference in Jakarta.
