GE Vernova Powers Indonesia's Tambak Lorok Plant with Cutting-Edge Technology
Key Ideas
  • The Tambak Lorok power plant, powered by GE Vernova's advanced technology, will supply electricity to approximately five million homes in Indonesia.
  • GE Vernova has not only provided core equipment for the power plant but also a 15-year service agreement for its management, training, and maintenance.
  • The project aligns with Indonesia's energy policy to phase out coal-fired plants and transition to lower emissions options, demonstrating a commitment to sustainability.
  • GE Vernova's HA technology, used in the project, reduces fuel consumption, lowers carbon emissions, and allows for up to 50% hydrogen blending, supporting future decarbonisation efforts.
GE Vernova has commenced commercial operations at PLN Indonesia Power's Tambak Lorok power plant Block 3 in Tanjung Mas, Central Java. The 780MW plant, equipped with GE Vernova's 9HA.02 gas turbine and STF-D650 steam turbine, aims to serve electricity to around five million households. Beyond supplying the core equipment, GE Vernova has also entered a 15-year service agreement to oversee the project's lifecycle, training, and maintenance. This initiative includes skills development and knowledge transfer to enhance PLN IP's operations team's capabilities. PLN Indonesia Power's CEO, Edwin Nugraha Putra, views the project as a significant step for Indonesia, contributing a high-capacity facility that enhances the nation's electricity landscape. The project is in line with Indonesia's strategy to phase out coal-powered plants in favor of cleaner alternatives, ensuring flexibility in power generation. GE Vernova's president and CEO for Asia, Ramesh Singaram, emphasizes the company's dedication to supporting Indonesia's power sector growth by utilizing HA technology to enhance efficiency and reduce emissions significantly. GE Vernova's H-Class technology is noted for its ability to slash emissions by up to 60% compared to similar-sized plants relying on traditional fuels like diesel or coal. Moreover, this technology can accommodate up to 50% hydrogen blending with natural gas, paving the way for future decarbonisation efforts. The project involves collaboration among PT Indonesia Power, GE Power, Marubeni, and PT Hutama Karya (Persero), showcasing a joint effort to drive sustainable energy development in Indonesia.
