Swedish-Swiss Company ABB has secured an order worth $40 million from a consortium comprising Doosan Heavy Industries and state-owned construction company Hutama Karya to upgrade and expand the Muara Tawar combined cycle power plant in West Java, Indonesia. The project will add 650 MW of electricity to Indonesia’s national grid.
As part of the contract, ABB is also responsible for the design, engineering, installation and commissioning of supporting components and auxiliary systems of the plant. It will supply a 500 kV air-insulated switchgear (AIS) substation, along with generator circuit breakers, medium and low voltage switchgear, as well as transformers and protection equipment. The expansion project will improve the efficiency of the plant and provide clean energy to the Greater Jakarta area.
