PT Sarana Multi Infrastruktur (PERSERO) and PT Indonesia Infrastructure Finance signed an agreement granting financing facility for PLTG project in Tanjung Uncang, Batam

JAKARTA, 18 October 2013 – PT Sarana Multi Infrastruktur (Persero) (“PT SMI”) and PT Indonesia Infrastructure Finance (“PT IIF”) today, Friday 18 October 2013, signed an Agreement Granting Financing Facility with PT Energi Listrik Batam (“PT ELB”), a subsidiary of PT Medco Power Indonesia, for USD 48.000.000 to develop and construct Gas Power Plant (PLTG) in Tanjung Uncang, Batam, Riau Islands.

The project, in which the construction is estimated to finish in December 2014, will be able to generate electricity supply of 2X35 MW for the people and industry in Batam Island and the surrounding. PT SMI’s Director of Financing & Investment, Mister Nasrizal Nazir, said “With the continuously increasing electricity demand of an average of 9,3% per year and in line with the effort to increase electrification ratio in Indonesia that is targeted to increase 90.9% in 2019, the financing to develop Gas Power Plant is also more or less contributing to the additional electricity supply in Indonesia, especially in Batam island and the surrounding.”

The facility grant also shows support from PT SMI and PT IIF to PT ELB as the Project Sponsor in order to develop electrical power in Batam Island and the surrounding.
