The combined capacity of the ten power plants is expected to reach 423 megawatts, Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Purnomo Yusgiantoro told reporters here.

The power plants will be built on Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Papua and Sumatra islands, all will use Chinese-made generators, said the minister.
