Company HistoryPT Elektrindo Perkasa Utama (EPU) was established on the 29’th of July 1986 as a general trading and services company.
After the economic crisis of 1998, i.e. in the early 2000’s, the Goverments opens the opportunity for national private companies to start constructing generators and to supply electricity, EPU saw this opportunity. It has view competitors, because not only itis capitally intensive, it requires long periods of preparation to avoid risk. Since 2008, EPU entered electricity generator industry by constructing a PLTD of 4 x 10 MW in Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan. It is operational since 2009. In December 2010, the consortium of EPU and Modaco Enersys. i.e. PT Eramas Persada Energy obtained a contract for constructing and operating a PLTG of 2 x 50 MW in Payo Selincah, Jambi. PLTG Payo Selincah used Aero - derivative turbine from Pratt & Whitney, a leading turbin manufacturer from the United States. PLTG was selected because not only it is a clean energy, but the primary energy sources is obtained from Jambi Merang gas field which is relatively short-distanced from the PLTG, at a rather low price. PT EPU will continue to move forward, to run in the field of gas-powered, geothermal-powered, and coal-powered electricity generators. Even If Indonesia finally constructs a PLTN, EPU wants to take part in the usage of nuclear energy for elctricity. As a healty, profitable company, PT EPU is currently making preparations for going public. |
