Pöyry win Indonesian Power Plant project

Pöyry awarded owner’s engineer services assignment for coal-fired power plant project, Indonesia

PT Tanjung Power Indonesia (TPI) has awarded Pöyry with the Owner’s Engineer services assignment for Kalsel-1 2 x 100 MW Coal Fired Power Plant Project in South Kalimantan, Indonesia. The Shareholders of TPI are PT Adaro Power and Korea East-West Power Co.,Ltd.

Pöyry’s assignment includes project management services and design review services for the project. The overall schedule for the project is 33 months and the project is scheduled to be completed by July 2018. The power plant is being implemented under Indonesia’s Independent Power Producer (IPP) scheme, whereby the electricity is sold to the Indonesian government-owned electricity company PT PLN Persero (PLN).

This is a continuation of Pöyry’s earlier assignment in the same project. Pöyry has been involved in the project from the start of the development phase, assisting TPI in the preliminary design, IPP bidding, EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) tendering and contract negotiations.

“After successfully completing the project development phase, we are pleased to continue our good cooperation with Adaro Power and Korea East-West Power in executing this important project. This project illustrates the value added that Pöyry can provide for power projects from the early development phase through engineering, construction and commissioning phases. In Indonesia, Pöyry is currently helping our clients in several coal and gas-fired, hydro power and renewable energy projects, in plant capacities up to 2,000 MW”, says Dr Raffael Schubiger, Head of Thermal Power at Pöyry.

Moving Abroad Checklist

Initial Considerations

Will your partner be travelling with you?

If so, what will they be giving up in your present home and will they be able to continue with their career in your new home? You will need to check whether a separate visa is required for your partner to work or if your visa gives that right. If they are unable to work you will need to decide on the effect on your finances and what alternatives are available to give a fulfilling life (home business, training, voluntary work).

Are you taking family with you?

Moving with family raises many exciting opportunities, but also can create challenges. The HSBC Expat Explorer survey indicates that expat kids can take six months to settle in to their new country (see article). Getting young or even older children to prepare to move and leave their friends and family behind can be a challenge and should be thought through.

The options for education is another area that needs to be thought through.

Moving your child to a new country with a different education system can be a great opportunity to broaden their experience, but if they are close to key exams the timing can make this inadvisable. If you do take your family with you, it is important to decide between joining the local school system or choosing an international school.

Where will you be living?

Whether you will be living in a house or apartment, furnished or unfurnished, these decisions will affect what you need to take with you. The time you are planning to live overseas will also affect whether you should leave your property at home empty, rent it out or sell it. See the article Sell, Store or Ship.
