TOKYO (Reuter): Sumitomo Corp said yesterday that it and Fuji Electric Co Ltd had won a 29 billion yen order from Indonesia to build the world's largest geothermal power generators.

The consortium is to build a geothermal power plant, with two 110,000 kilowatt (kw) generators, on Java, Indonesia, for independent power producer Mandala Nusantara Ltd, a Sumitomo spokesman said.

Mandala Nusantara is owned 85 percent by private power firm AsiaPower Ltd, while the remainder is held by investment firm PT Bumi Mandala Perkasa, he said.

The first of the two generators is scheduled to start commercial operations by March 1999, and the second one the end of 1999.

Mandala Nusantara plans to expand the capacity of the plant to 440,000 kw in the future, he added.
