Mamuju, W Sulawesi (ANTARA News) - President Director of state power company PT PLN Dahlan Iskan had urged the West Sulawesi provincial administration to speed up the tender for the hydropower plant (PLTA) Karama project in the area.
"I had asked West Sulawesi governor Anwar Adnan Saleh to speed up the tender process," Dahlan Iskan said in Mamuju Wednesday.
He said many foreign investors were interested in building PLTA Karama, but the local administration was rather skeptical about them.
"We wish that only very serious investors would build PLTA Karama," he said.
Past experience had shown, he said, that many foreign investors failed to keep their promises although they had signed an MoU.
"For the same reason, I had urged the West Sulawesi provincial administration to speed up the process of the tender, the sooner the better," he said.
He said the an MoU between the Indonesian government and Chinese investors taking part in the tender was already signed in Beijing in March 2010.
"We will give the foreign investors a 10 percent weight under the new regulations in a Presidential Decree on the procurement of goods and services," he said.
On the same occasion, he said, since the plan to build PLTA Karama was exposed in the media, scores of foreign investors flocked to West Sulawesi.
In response to the PLN chief's urge, Anwar said he was ready to follow the considerations and judgment of PLN. (H-NG/S012)
