Under the terms of the MoU, the two firms have agree to cooperate on the development of 500MW of power generation solutions and related small scale LNG storage and regasification infrastructure in Indonesia.
Over the next two-year period, the two parties will install the targeted power generation as several projects.
Wartsila Energy Solutions President Javier Cavada said: “Wartsila’s proven capability to deliver high quality, efficient, and flexible power plant solutions on a fast-track basis is perfectly suited to the requirements of Indonesia.
“With this MoU, Wartsila is also pleased to express its strong commitment towards the development of Indonesian manufacturing skills and knowledge transfer as it is the basis for a mutually beneficial and long relationship.”
The MoU also focuses on further development of Indonesian capability in power projects execution, knowledge transfer and local skills.
In 2015, Indonesia announced its plan to ensure equal availability of reliable power supply throughout the entire archipelago.
As part of this effort, the government set a target to have 35000MW of installed power generation capacity by 2019.
Wartsila has been more than 3GW of installed power generation capacity in the country.
It operates projects including the 200MW dual fuel Pesanggaran plant, 184MW Arun power plant and the Bangkanai 150MW power plant.
