Power plant in Sulawesi

Tue, 26 Dec 1995

JAKARTA (JP): State-owned electricity company PT PLN will invest US$94.68 million for the construction of a 74.8-megawatt hydro-electric power plant which will harness water flowing from Lindu Lake near Palu, Central Sulawesi.

"The construction of the power plant will start in 1999 and the station is slated to come on stream in 2003," the head of PLN's Palu branch, Syarifuddin Lamadjido, told Antara in Palu.

Syarifuddin said the electricity generated by the power plant would supply a cement plant to be built near Palu. He did not give details about the cement project.

PLN will develop 46.5 kilometers of 150-kVA-capacity transmission lines from the power station to Palu, he added. (04)
