Wärtsilä has been contracted to deliver a 100 MW Smart Power Generation plant to PT Indonesia Power, a subsidiary of PT PLN (Persero). The Senayan Diesel Power Plant project will be used to provide back-up electrical energy to ensure the reliability and availability of power to Jakarta’s new mass rapid transport system that is currently under construction. The order with Wärtsilä was booked in December 2017. Critical to the selection of the Wärtsilä solution was the fast start up and ramp up time of the engines. In the case of a failure to the existing power supply, the mass transport system would be immediately adversely affected. Should this happen, the Wärtsilä Smart Power Generation solution will be able to restore full power within minutes, whereas a conventional power plant would not be capable of such a rapid reaction time. The new plant is being built by a consortium of Wärtsilä and PT PP (Persero) Tbk, the Indonesian construction engineering company. The consortium will deliver a turnkey facility, with Wärtsilä leading the consortium and providing the main equipment and PT PP handling the civil and installation work. The new plant will operate on six Wärtsilä 46 engines and is expected to be operational in early 2019. Indonesia Power has gained positive experience with the Wärtsilä generating equipment from its Bali Pesanggaran project, which also operates on Wärtsilä engines.
