GE Vernova Inc. recently began commercial operation of the 780-megawatt Tambak Lorok Combined Cycle Power Plant in Tanjung Mas, Central Java, Indonesia. This power plant, equipped with GE Vernova's HA combined cycle equipment, will provide electricity for approximately 5 million homes in Indonesia, catering to the nation's increasing energy demand driven by economic and population growth. The Indonesian government's commitment to stop commissioning new coal power plants and achieve net-zero emissions by 2060 includes a plan to retire all coal plants by 2040, in line with the environmental goals of the new power plant. The project also involves a 15-year service agreement to manage the plant's lifecycle, provide training, and enhance operational performance. GE Vernova's HA technology, with its low emissions and flexibility to burn hydrogen blended with natural gas, supports Indonesia's decarbonisation efforts and transition to cleaner energy sources. The power plant aims to contribute to grid stability and sustainability, offering a reliable and sustainable electricity supply to the Java grid, while advancing the use of gas power to reduce carbon emissions.
