Good news has come again from the PT Rekadaya Elektrika (RE) project team on the Island of the Gods, namely the Pesanggaran 2×100 MW Gas Power Plant (PLTG), which is a relocation project from Grati. After last November 1 2022, one of the Pesanggaran 2×100 MW (GT 5) PLTG units has officially operated and became one of the suppliers of electricity supply at the G20 Summit event.

Thanks to the well-established collaboration between team members in the field and the Indonesia Power and
Cogindo teams, several milestone stages for the GT 6 PLTG Pesanggaran unit have been successfully implemented according to the target, as follows:

• First Firing (06 March 2023)

• First Synchro (07 March 2023)

• Performance Test (11 March 2023)

• Reliability Run (12 March 2023)

The purpose of carrying out the Performance Test (PT) and Reliability Run (RR) is to determine the reliability of the GT 6 unit and as part of the stages required for the issuance of an Operational Worthy Certificate (SLO) from Pursetif PT PLN (Persero). The contribution made by RE so that the implementation of the Performance Test and Reliability Run was carried out successfully, including ensuring that the common system, grounding system, fire fighting system and cooling system can operate properly.

As of the 3rd week of March, the progress of work in the field which is RE’s responsibility has reached 93%. The scope of work that remains is the completion/finishing of common facility areas such as permanent road access, drainage, security post and trench cover.

Through the enthusiasm of the project team to make a real contribution in strengthening the reliability of electricity supply in the Bali Region and its surroundings, it is hoped that the 2×100 MW Pesanggaran PLTG will be fully completed in mid-2023 according to the set targets.
