It may be mentioned here that the ENMP jointly with its subsidiaries PT Pasifik Agra Energi and PT Power Merah Putih are responsible for providing energy to the KIBA. The LNG terminal and power plant have an estimated total investment of USD980 million.
“The integration of this project will allow the KIBA supporting industries to accomplish the construction of the LNG receiving terminal immediately. This is a crucial part of the 600MW power plant itself, which will start operations by mid-2021,” informed President Director, ENMP, Westana H Wiraatmadja.
Bringing together its expertise in design, engineering and construction, AG&P will focus on erection and operation of the LNG receiving terminals at KIBA. Modular components of the terminal will be constructed at its state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in Batangas, South of Manila, Philippines.
Talking to mediapersons, CFO and Commercial Head, AG&P, Abhilesh Gupta said, “AG&P is thrilled to support this nationally important project in Bantaeng. We look forward in short order to LNG being available for the power plant and to industry and consumers throughout Southern Sulawesi and nearby regions. AG&P will work hard to achieve this goal.”
