For the Cilegon gas turbine combined-cycle (GTCC) power plant, the region of Cilegon was found suitable because of many reasons. One of the main reasons is that Cilegon is the centre point for the heavy and chemical industry in Indonesia. The city has gained this recognition because of many petrochemical and steel plants that are operating in Cilegon. Owing to this reason, the electricity demand in the region of Cilegon and its surrounding areas was increasing, and PT.PLN decided to pass orders to build the new gas turbine combined-cycle (GTCC) power plant using the company’s land in Cilegon and making use of the available natural gas in the area.

The type of upgrade might range from upgrading the switchboards and replacing power/light points to rewiring the entire house and replacing power poles.
