DENPASAR. Aggreko, a major global company in the provision of temporary power and temperature control services, announced Wednesday a 45 megawatt (MW) expansion to its power output in Bali.

The announcement comes on the back of successful re-tendering for the 125 MW it already delivers to the province, bringing Aggreko’s total power output to 170 MW.

The combined 170 MW will meet 23 percent of total electricity demand in Bali, injecting vital power into the local grid and maintaining essential infrastructure and services that drive the tourism industry, the company said in a statement.

The additional capacity comes online at a critical time as limited infrastructure has meant rising demand cannot be met.

With a booming economy and demand for energy increasing steadily by approximately 9.75 percent each year, the 45-MW expansion was commissioned in Pesanggaran, Bali.

The project win sees Aggreko continue its positive relationship with Indonesia Power subsidiary Cogindo Daya Bersama, having first worked together to install 125 MW of capacity in Pemaron (in the northern area of Bali) in 2010, Aggreko said in the statement.
