CPI will be asked to use local Indonesian companies and sub-contractors in order to provide the largest possible economic boost to the region. Wacik stated that “this investment should also be creating jobs.”
Indonesia currently has about 70% electrification according to the state utility firm PT PLN, and with an economy growing at a little over 6% a year, and a middle class population that is expected to grow from 45 million to 135 million by 2030, PLN also expects electricity demand to increase by 10% a year.
CPI views Indonesia a good market, and wants to take advantage of its growth over the next few decades.
