Si Zefu, Chairman, Dongfang Electric Corporation
Indonesia lacks power generating capacity

Early this year, Indonesian power plants built by Chinese companies came under heavy scrutiny. One reason was that a number of Chinese-made power plants, some built since 2006 are not operating at their maximum, with reliability predicted at only 60-65 percent. Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Sudirman Said has requested that the Chinese authorities take responsibility.

A study conducted by the energy ministry also found that many of the projects were behind schedule and the quality sub-standard. Among the participating contractors, were the China National Machine Industry, the China Huaidian Engineering Corporation and Dongfang Electric Corporation (DEC).
