PT PAL Indonesia Completes Construction Of 60 MW Power Plants
PT PAL Indonesia has completed the construction of the Barge Mounted Power Plant (BMPP) floating power plant with a capacity of 60 Megawatts (MW) for the second time so that it is ready to operate.
"The BMPP ordered by Indonesia Power will be the main solution in meeting electricity needs in Eastern Indonesia," said PT PAL Indonesia CEO Kaharuddin Djenod in Surabaya, East Java, quoted from Antara, Wednesday, September 18.
Kaharuddin stated that BMPP is one of the variants of PT PAL Indonesia's General Engineering products which is focused on the electrification sector.
This technology, he said, is designed to provide flexible and efficient power generation solutions, especially for areas that are not yet electrified or have limited access to conventional electricity networks.
He explained that the second BMPP 60 MW is a form of technology development carried out by the PT PAL Indonesia team and the previous product sister from BMPP to produce products that are efficient, environmentally friendly, and beneficial for the community.
Before being handed over to Indonesia Power, BMPP Nusantara-2 60 MW had gone through a series of tests or commissioning such as pre-commissioning for a number of mechanical and electrical systems.
"We have also carried out a first engine smoke test as an initial trial stage for the operation of the BMPP machine," he said.
Kaharuddin emphasized that the entire pre-commissioning series is PT PAL Indonesia's commitment to ensuring high operational security standards, optimal efficiency, and environmentally friendly aspects are met.

In addition, the construction of the BMPP is classified by two international classification bodies, namely the Indonesian Classification Bureau (BKI) and the Veritas Bureau (BV) from France.
According to him, this project proves that Indonesia has the ability to design and build complex, sophisticated, and certified energy infrastructure with international standards.
"We hope to continue to contribute to the development of clean and renewable energy technology in the future," he said.
