• PLN Indonesia Power’s Tambak Lorok power plant, located in Central Java, has commenced operations, adding approximately 780 megawatts (MW) of electricity to the grid. This capacity is sufficient to supply energy to about 5 million households in Indonesia.
• This new power plant enhances grid stability, supports the growth of renewable energy, and contributes to the gradual phase-out of coal in the country. The Tambak Lorok combined cycle plant is equipped with GE Vernova’s advanced technology, including a 9HA.02 gas turbine, a steam turbine, and a Once Through Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG).

JAKARTA, INDONESIA (August 30, 2024) – GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) has announced the commercial operation of PLN Indonesia Power’s Tambak Lorok Combined Cycle Power Plant Block 3 (“Tambak Lorok”) in Tanjung Mas, Central Java. This milestone comes after the recent commissioning of GE Vernova’s 100th HA gas turbine worldwide. As Indonesia’s energy demands continue to rise, driven by economic and population growth, the Tambak Lorok plant will play a critical role in meeting the country’s electricity needs, potentially powering up to 5 million homes.

In alignment with Indonesia’s climate goals, which include phasing out coal-fired power plants by 2040 and achieving net-zero emissions by 2060, Tambak Lorok represents a significant step towards a cleaner energy future. The plant adds substantial capacity to Indonesia’s electricity grid, contributing to greater stability as the country transitions away from coal.

“The Tambak Lorok project is a key milestone for Indonesia, significantly enhancing the stability of our power grid,” stated Edwin Nugraha Putra, CEO of PLN Indonesia Power. “This project aligns with our national policy to reduce emissions in the power sector. As coal plants are retired, it is crucial to incorporate more reliable and flexible power sources. We are confident that GE Vernova, Marubeni Corporation, and Hutama Karya, as the EPC contractors, have delivered a power plant that meets the highest standards of quality and safety, providing sustainable electricity to the Java grid.”

Tambak Lorok is powered by GE Vernova’s state-of-the-art equipment, including a 9HA.02 gas turbine, STF-D650 steam turbine, and a Once Through HRSG. Beyond delivering the core equipment in a turnkey combined cycle configuration, GE Vernova is also providing a comprehensive solution that includes a 15-year service agreement. This agreement covers all aspects of the plant’s lifecycle, from training and maintenance to enhancing operational performance and reliability. The training component will help develop the skills of PLN IP’s operations team, facilitating knowledge transfer and boosting capability.

“Our HA technology has been chosen to boost power generation capacity in Indonesia and support the nation’s decarbonization efforts,” commented Ramesh Singaram, President and CEO, Asia, GE Vernova’s Gas Power. “In line with our commitment to Indonesia’s energy development and economic growth, our HA technology offers industry-leading low emissions, enabling customers like PLN Indonesia Power to reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions. This technology will be instrumental in Indonesia’s transition to net-zero carbon emissions.”

With GE Vernova’s H-class technology, the Tambak Lorok plant produces significantly lower emissions—up to 60% less than other plants of a similar size powered by diesel, coal, or other fossil fuels. Additionally, GE Vernova’s H-Class gas turbines are capable of burning up to 50% hydrogen by volume when mixed with natural gas, with the potential to achieve 100% hydrogen capability in the future, further supporting the decarbonization of gas power.
