Indonesian govt to launch 2nd crash program to generate power
Jakarta (ANTARA News/Asia Pulse) - The Indonesian government plans to launch another crash program to build power plants with a total investment of Rp100 trillion (US$11 billion) after the completion of the first program.
The second program will build power plants with a capacity of 10,000 megawatts, the same as the first program, but instead of coal fired energy it will utilize more geothermal, hydroelectric and renewable energy to generate power, an official said.
The concept for the second program is expected to be completed this month, Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro said after a cabinet meeting.
