Wartsila Corporation has been awarded the contract to supply Indonesia's based power plant. The turnkey contract has been placed by PT Indonesia Power. The power plant, with an output of 200 MW, will be constructed by a consortium with Wartsila as the lead partner together with PT Pembangunan Perumahan (Persero) Tbk.

The order was received in the fourth quarter 2013. The power plant is scheduled to be partially operational by the end of December 2014, and at full output by the end of May 2015. The electricity produced will be fed to Bali's sub system grid.

The Pesanggaran power plant will utilise Wartsila's modern combustion engine technology, and will be powered by twelve Wartsila 50DF dual-fuel engines running primarily on natural gas. The engines can also use conventional heavy fuel oil should there be an interruption to the gas supply. The new power plant is needed in order to meet the increasing demand for electricity on the island of Bali.

It will ensure greater reliability in the supply of electricity to both domestic and industrial consumers.
