Metso will supply PT Cikarang Listrindo in Babelan outside Jakarta in Indonesia
with two power boilers with a total capacity of 270 MWe. The delivery will also
include a Metso DNA control system. The investment will increase the company’s
electricity production by approximately 30 %. The plant will be commissioned in
2016. The value of the order is approximately EUR 100 million.

The order
is a major breakthrough for Metso to the power generation industry in Indonesia.
PT Cikarang Listrindo selected Metso due to their expertise and ability to
supply quality solutions fit for local needs.

"I am very glad that we
have concluded the tender evaluation process by appointing Metso as contractor.
We are very pleased with the discussions we have had with the well-experienced
Metso team on how to meet our local needs. We can now all focus and work on the
project and to have it completed in a timely manner and to all our
satisfaction,” says EC P'ng, PT Cikarang Listrindo’s Technical Director.


Cikarang and surrounding estates form an industrial area with many
factories that require stable power supply. In the last 20 years, PT Cikarang
Listrindo’s customer base has increased on a steady basis. As a result, the
company decided to increase their power production capacity.

The main
part of the order is included in Metso’s Pulp, Paper and Power fourth quarter
2012 orders received and the control system in Automation fourth quarter 2012
orders received.
