Eight new heat recovery steam generators (HRSG) and three steam turbines will be delivered at the site as part of the upgrade.
Completion of the project is scheduled to take around 30 months.
It is expected to help realise the Government of Indonesia’s goal of installing 35GW of power generation capacity by 2019.
