JAKARTA (Yosefardi) – Avantha Group Company CG’s Power Transformer plant at Indonesia has won an order worth US$29 million from PT PLN Indonesia to supply Extra High Voltage transformers for its Indonesian electricity transmission network.
The order involves supply of 500kV, 275kV and 150kV power transformers, which will be installed across PT PLN’s transmission network in Java and Sumatra islands.
CG’s power transformers maximise space utility with their compact design and achieve optimum energy efficiency through low levels of losses. The reduced degree of noise and partial discharge also make the transformers a preferred choice for strengthening transmission networks.
The manufacturing of the new orders from PT PLN will be undertaken at CG’s world-class transformer factory located in Bogor, Indonesia. The facility is equipped to design, manufacture and test transformers up to 550kV class locally in Indonesia.
The new order shows increased trust by PT PLN in CG’s manufacturing expertise in this segment and will further bolster its position as a key provider of high-voltage transformers in the South East Asian market. The order comes on the back of CG’s successful completion of a similar first order in September 2013.
