Sumitomo to bid for RI plant tender<\/p>\n
JAKARTA: Sumitomo Corp., Itochu Corp. and Marubeni Corp. are
\namong the bidders for a contract to build a coal-fired power
\nplant in West Java province for Indonesia's state electricity
\ncompany, PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN).<\/p>\n
Some 36 companies including the three Japanese ones, India's
\nEssar Group, South Korea's Samsung Corp. and Germany's Siemens
\nAG, have registered to bid on the 600-megawatt power plant in
\nCirebon, Ali Herman Ibrahim, Perusahaan Listrik's director of
\ngeneration said in an interview today.<\/p>\n
\"They're joining the pre-qualification stage of the tender, in
\nwhich we select companies that qualify for the final stage,\"
\nIbrahim said. \"We hope to shortlist the bidders and start the
\nbidding process before the end of this year so we can meet the
\ntarget to get the plant up and running by 2011.\"<\/p>\n
Indonesia, struggling to avoid power shortages, is planning to
\ninvite bids this year to build eight power plants with a combined
\ncapacity of 3,670 megawatts.<\/p>\n
The country needs to spend about $27 billion on new plants and
\npower lines by 2012 to meet demand, according to the World Bank.
