Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Ltd (MHPS) has concluded an agreement on collaboration in the provision of field services for thermal power generation systems together with two Indonesian power providers – PT Pembangkitan Jawa-Bali (PT PJB) and PT Indonesia Power – and Mitsubishi Corporation (MC).

The aim of the collaborative undertaking is to strengthen field services in Southeast Asia and surrounding regions.Based on the collaborative agreement, MHPS and its partners will perform field services, including dispatch of engineers to thermal power generation system sites, using staff from PT PJB and IP.

On 24 March, a formal signing ceremony took at Indonesia Power's head office in Jakarta. It was attended by Muljo Adji, Acting for President Director of PJB; Antonius RT Artono, Acting for President Director of IP at Indonesia Power; Naoto Yoshimura, General Manager for Special Task at MC; and MHPS Executive Vice President Ken Kawai.

The new agreement was reached combining the interests of all four parties concerned: MHPS and MC's desire to further strengthen their field services in this region, and PT PJB and Indonesia Power's quest for overseas business expansion using their own resources.

Going forward, MHPS has indicated that it aims to maintain and further develop its close relationships with PT PJB and Indonesia Power as a way of making positive contributions to stable and efficient power generation throughout the Southeast Asia region.
