PLN cancels power pact with Suharto-linked firm
Article Abstract:
PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PNL), Indonesia's state-controlled electricity company, has terminated a contract to purchase electricity from PT Cikarang Listrindo, a power distributor connected to a cousin of Mr. Suharto. PLN President Djiteng Marsudi also announced that the company would stop making payments to the Sengkang power facility in South Sulawesi, whose ownership is held by Energy Equity of Australia and El Paso of the US. The economic crisis in Asia is not the only cause of PLN's troubles but also the huge number of power-purchase agreements signed by PLN in recent years.
