tate-run builder Wijaya Karya (WIKA) has said that it would use loans in the pipeline from China Development Bank (CDB) to fund US$6 billion power plant projects in Java. WIKA corporate secretary Suradi told The Jakarta Post over the phone that his company would likely request a credit facility to finance the development of the Java 5 and Java 7 coal-fired power plants, each of which will have the capacity to produce 2 x 1,000 megawatt (MW) of electricity, in Banten. '€œWe previously planned to use the loan for the high-speed railway project. Now that the project has been scrapped we are waiting on the tender for power plant projects, probably in October,'€ Suradi said. WIKA was a lead consortium for Indonesia'€™s first high-speed train project, which was expected to connect Java'€™s major cities Jakarta and Bandung, before it was scrapped earlier this month and replaced with a medium-speed train project.
