JAKARTA, INDONESIA (August 30, 2024) – On the heels of GE Vernova’s 100^th HA gas turbine commissioned globally announcement,  GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) celebrated today the start of commercial operation of PLN Indonesia Power (PLNIP)’s 780-megawatt (MW) Tambak Lorok Combined Cycle Power Plant Block 3 (“Tambak Lorok”), in Tanjung Mas, Central Java. With the highest energy consumption among the Southeast Asian Nations, Indonesia’s energy use is set to rise significantly as its economy and population grow. Powered by GE Vernova’s HA combined cycle equipment, the plant can deliver the electricity needed to power the equivalent of approximately 5 million homes in Indonesia.

To support Indonesia’s climate and energy transition agenda, the government of Indonesia has pledged to stop commissioning new coal power plant and to achieve net-zero emissions by 2060 or earlier, Indonesia is targeting to retire the entire fleet of coal plants by 2040*.

“Tambak Lorok project represents a milestone for Indonesia, adding to the system a large-capacity plant that brings stability to the country's electricity matrix,” said Edwin Nugraha Putra, CEO of PLN Indonesia Power. “Tambak Lorok is in line with the national energy policy to lower emissions from the power sector. As more coal fired plants are retired, the need to add more reliable and flexible power that provides greater grid stability is essential. We trust GE Vernova, Marubeni Corporation and Hutama Karya, as the EPC, have delivered the highest standard of quality and safety in building this power plant that will provide reliable and more sustainable electricity to the Java grid.”

Tambak Lorok is powered by GE Vernova’s advanced equipment, namely a 9HA.02 gas turbine, a STF-D650 steam turbine, GE Vernova’s Once Through (OT) HRSG and balance of plant equipment. In addition to the core power plant equipment delivered in a turnkey combined cycle configuration, GE Vernova is contracted to provide a holistic solution including a 15-year service agreement to manage all aspects of the project’s lifecycle, training and maintenance management to enhance operational performance and increase the reliability of Tambak Lorok plant. The training will support skills development and knowledge transfer to improve the capability of PLN IP’s operations team.

“Our HA technology has been selected to increase power generation capacity in Indonesia and support its decarbonization process,” said Ramesh Singaram, President and CEO, Asia of GE Vernova's Gas Power. “In our commitment to support Indonesia’s power development and economic growth, our HA technology offers the lowest emissions in the industry to give our customers, like PLN Indonesia Power, the ability to reduce fuel consumption while lowering carbon emissions, moving forward this technology will help transition to net-zero carbon emissions.”

With GE Vernova’s H-class leading technology the plant has a lower emissions impact with up to 60% less emissions compared to other plants of the same size powered by diesel, coal and other fossil fuels. In addition, to further advance decarbonization utilizing gas power, H-Class gas turbine portfolio currently has the capability to burn up to 50% by volume of hydrogen when blended with natural gas with an expected roadmap to 100% in the future.
