he Nusa Tenggara unit of state electricity company PLN said it would build a number of power generating plants with a total capacity of 500 megawatts in the region by 2018.
The power plants would be needed to keep up with growing requirements for power in West and East Nusa Tenggara, director of the unit Suradji said in Mataram, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), on Tuesday.
Suradji said the projects would be part of the government's plan to build power plants with a total capacity of 35,000 MW by 2019.
Two of the projects in NTB will be steam-powered electricity plants (PLTU) in Lombok with a capacity of 100 MW and another steam-powered plant with the same capacity in the district of Sambalia, East Lombok.
With the construction of the power projects, "Lombok will have two new power plants with a combined capacity of 400 MW, while Sumbawa with 100 MW. All projects are to be completed no later than 2018," Suradji said as quoted by Antara news agency.
