Located at the Muara Karang power plant in western Java, the start-up of the GTCC system is expected in December 2019 while completion and inauguration of the new system is planned for October 2020.
The full-turnkey order was jointly received by Mitsubishi Corporation and Indonesian civil construction firm PT Wijaya Karya (Persero) (WIKA).
For this project, Mitsubishi Electric is responsible for the system’s generator and WIKA is in charge of civil construction and installation work. Civil construction works are currently underway having started in August 2018.
MHPS will supply a steam turbine and auxiliary equipment for the project. It will support the maintenance and management of the GTCC system via remote monitoring under a long-term service agreement (LTSA). The company will also deploy a full-time engineer at the site after the start-up of operations.
