TEMPO.CO, INDONESIA - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) sent off a marine vessel power plant from the Tanjung Priok Port to Amurang, North Sulawesi, yesterday. The ship is one of five ships which were rented by State-owned Electricity Company PT PLN to fulfill the needs of electricity in various regions in Indonesia.
"There will be six more to come in about six months," said Jokowi after dispatching the Turkish ship named Karadeniz Powership Zeynep Sultan.
Besides North Sulawesi, according to the President, same type of ships will also be sent to East Nusa Tenggara, West Nusa Tenggara, Maluku, and North Sumatera. "Everytime i went to any regions, the complaints were always the same, electricity. In addition to the 35,000 MW program, this is a quicker program to solve the electricity problem," says Jokowi.
The Zeynap Sultan vessel has a power plant capacity of 120 MW. It was rented by PLN for five years and could be operated with two kinds of fuel, which are petrol and gas. PLN will also send the same type of vessel to North Sumatera (240 MW), Kupang (60 MW), Ambon (60 MW), and Lombok (60 MW). The total of overall electricity to be generated is targeted to be 540 MW.
Sofyan Basir, President Director of PT PLN, said that the use of these five vessels could reduce the cost of electircity suppy and save Rp350 billion per year. Amurang becomes the first location because of the electricity deficit of around 50-60 MW. "Power outage has been done everyday at least four to six hours," he said.
Sofyan added that the vessels will operate up until the PLN`s eletricity power plant construction is completed in the next three years.
