U
S-based technology company General Electric (GE) is committed to providing new technologies for gas-based power plants to support Indonesia's 35,000 megawatt (MW) program.
Currently, the company is developing automation technology specifically applied to gas-based power plants. It will ease human-machine interactions during the operation of the power plants.
“Our technology can create more efficiency in development. For example, the Gorontalo power plant, which uses our turbines, was built in only six months,” GE Indonesia CEO Handry Satriago said at a Jakarta Post seminar on "Accelerating Infrastructure Development" in Jakarta on Monday.
The development of the 100 MW power plant started in September 2015 and was finished in January 2016. GE supplied four turbines, each producing 25 MW of power.
Moreover, Handry said the company was committed to more power plant projects in the pipeline. “We will submit our proposals and follow several bids for every gas-based project in the 35,000 MW program,” Handry said. (ags)
