MAN Diesel signs $118 million deal with Indonesia’s PLN for delivering fuel engines

MAN Diesel & Turbo has signed a $118 million deal with Indonesia’s state-run electricity supplier Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) to deliver 20 of its dual-fuel engines to PLN. Of the total number, 10 will be installed in three power plants for which MAN Diesel, along with Indonesian company Wijaya Karya (WIKA), will take engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) responsibilities. Two 50 MW plants will be built in Bima on Sumbawa island. The third plant will be built in Maumere. All three plants are to run at baseload operation and will be powered with gas. The remaining 10 engines, which will be delivered as gensets together with alternators, will power five new power plants having capacities of 15-20 MW. The construction of these power plants will be carried out by an Indonesian consortium of companies. The deal also includes a long-term service agreement with MAN PrimeServ, the after-sales brand of MAN Diesel & Turbo, which will maintain the new plants for five years.
