The Nusantara Electrification Award 2026 ceremony was recently held in Jakarta. China Shenhua’s Java Company and South Sumatra Company received the “Award for Excellence in Reliable Power Generation and Operational Performance” for their outstanding performance in safeguarding Indonesia’s power supply security, advancing green and low-carbon operations, and deepening local sustainable development.
The Nusantara Electrification Award was initiated and hosted by Listrik Indonesia, an Indonesian power-industry publication, and is an important annual award in Indonesia’s power sector. The 2026 award, themed “Accelerating Electrification for the Nation,” focused on power supply reliability, operational management, technological innovation, and sustainable development, recognizing enterprises and institutions that have made positive contributions to national energy security and the development of Indonesia’s power industry.
The Java 7 Project, operated by Java Power Plant, is one of Indonesia’s largest, most advanced, and most efficient environmentally friendly power stations in terms of single-unit capacity and parameters, with a total installed capacity of 2.1 GW. It is a flagship cooperation project under China Shenhua’s response to the Belt and Road Initiative and its alignment with Indonesia’s “Global Maritime Fulcrum” vision. Since commissioning, the Project has generated a cumulative output of 80,439 GWh, accounting for about 5% of the power generation output of the Java–Bali grid. Focusing on long-term safe and reliable unit operation, the Company has taken multiple measures to strengthen equipment management. Its unit reliability and technical indicators continue to lead in Indonesia’s power grid, and its environmental emission indicators are far below Indonesian national standards. It has received the Subroto Award, the highest honor from Indonesia’s Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, the green PROPER certification from Indonesia’s Ministry of Environment and Forestry, and numerous occupational safety and health awards.
As an important power producer in South Sumatra, Indonesia, South Sumatra Power Company has innovatively adopted technologies including lignite drying and rotating coal bunkers to address the low calorific value and high moisture content of local lignite. These technologies have solved a series of technical problems caused by burning high-moisture lignite in boilers and produced multiple scientific and technological achievements. Over the years, the Company has adhered to the philosophy of “safety first, prevention-oriented, stable operation and lean management.” Focusing on long-term safe and reliable unit operation, it has strengthened whole-process equipment management, preventive maintenance, operating parameter monitoring, and hazard identification and remediation. Through equipment condition analysis, closed-loop management of abnormal issues, and operational risk prevention, it has provided strong support for regional power supply and local economic and social development.
