PT PLN (Persero) in collaboration with PT Ceria Nugraha Indotama (Ceria Group) will build a 200 MW Gas Engine Power Plant (PLTMG) in Wolo District, Kolaka Regency, Southeast Sulawesi (Sultra).

General Manager of PLN UID Sulselrabar, Moch. Andy Adhaminordin said he gave his appreciation to PT.Ceria Group for collaborating, and it was stated in a land loan agreement for the Inter Temporer Capacitu (ITC) generator to support the electricity needs of PT Ceria Metalindo Prima.

"Of course the construction of this PLTMG is not only profitable between PLN and Ceria Group but also the people of Kolaka Regency in particular and Sulawesi in general," he quoted Antara as saying.

Previously, PT.Ceria Nugraha Indotama's Legal Manager, Moch Kenny Rochlim, emphasized that PLN's collaboration with the Ceria Group for the PLTMG plant had been carried out with the signing of the agreement (MoU) to be held on Monday, May 20, 2024 at the PLN Jakarta Headquarters.

"So in the future, an adjustment will be made to the Electricity Sale and Purchase Agreement (PJBTL) between PLN and Bergia Group with a total capacity of 414 MVA or around 352 MW," he said.

This agreement, he said, is a refinement related to the technical and administrative aspects of the PJBTL which was signed in 2018 and this electricity supply will begin to be distributed in stages starting in mid-2024.

PLN also said that Kenny will provide additional electricity using the Barge Mounted Power Plant (BMPP) or a gas-fueled Floating Power Plant with a capacity of 2 x 60 MW with jetty facilities and supporting facilities in the PT Ceriar area which will be built by PT PLN Indonesia Power (IP).

"The construction of jetty, LNG tanks and LNG regasification facilities in the cheerful area will be carried out by PT PLN Energi Primary Indonesia (EPI)," he said.

Kenny also explained that the General Manager of PLN UID Sulselrabar, Moch. Andy Adhaminordin gave his appreciation to PT.Ceria for the collaboration contained in the loan and loan agreement to use land for ITC generators to support the electricity needs of PT Ceria Metalindo Prima.

With the support of various stakeholders, he hopes that PLN's electricity services can increase investor confidence in developing industrial potential in South Sulawesi, Southeast Sulawesi and West Sulawesi.

Kenny also firmly explained that the CEO of Ceriary Group, Derian Sakmiwata, emphasized his commitment to supporting PT PLN in the ITC power generation project and even cheerful support for PLN for the benefit of the community, especially in the South, Southeast and West Sulawesi (Sulselrabar) areas and the success of the government's industrial downstream program by supporting the Net Zero Emission program in 2050 as launched by President Joko Widodo.
