A Malaysia-Indonesian consortium on Thursday started construction of Rembang 2x 315MW coal-fired power plant in Rembang, Central Java.
The consortium, which members are Zeland Holding and Tronoh Tronoh Consolidated Bhd from Malaysia and PT Priamanaya Djan International from Indonesia, had been declared winner for the plant?s EPC by state electricity firm PLN earlier this year.
According to PLN?s CEO Eddie Widiono, the plant would cost US$388 million with the fisrt unit expected to come onstream in September 2009 and the second in December 2009.
The plant would consume 1.9 MTPA of low CV coal.
Rembang power plant is part of the government?s drive to build 10,000-MW of coal-fired power plants across the archipalego within the next 5 years. (godang)
