The power plant, known as Jawa 2 project, is being developed by Indonesia's state owned electricity company PT PLN (Persero) on Jawa Island on the premises of Tanjung Priok Power Plant in central part of Jakarta.

The Jawa-2 Combined Cycle Power Plant Project is being constructed to meet the country's growing demand for electric power. It will also help the Indonesian Government meet its aim to have a power generation capacity of 35,000 MW.

As part of the contract signed in 2016, MHPS will provide two M701F4 gas turbines, two heat recovery steam generators (HRSG), one steam turbine and the balance of plant (BOP).

For the GTCC power generation equipment, MHPS started a full turnkey contract with Mitsubishi Corporation and local construction and engineering firm Wasa Mitra Engineering in November 2016.

Mitsubishi will be responsible for the supply the generators; WASA for installation work; and the local company for civil work.

The gas turbines are scheduled to be commissioned in 2018.

In September 2016, MHPS), together with Mitsubishi and PT. Wijaya Karya (Persero) Tbk. (WIKA), had secured a contract for a 500MW expansion of the Muara Karang natural-gas-fired gas turbine combined cycle (GTCC) power plant in Indonesia.
