MHIET Receives Order for 147 Diesel Gensets to Serve as Stand-alone Power Systems in Indonesia

August 30, 2017

— Units Destined for 22 Districts on Kalimantan and Sulawesi —

TOKYO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Engine & Turbocharger, Ltd. (MHIET), a Group
company of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) (TOKYO:7011), has
received an order for 147 units of its MGS Series gensets, the core
lineup in the company’s diesel power plant offerings, from PT PLN
(Persero), a state-owned electricity provider in Indonesia. The gensets
are to serve as stand-alone power systems, a mode of power supply
especially useful in Indonesia, a country comprising thousands of
islands. Plans call for the units to progressively go into service in 22
districts of Kalimantan and Sulawesi by mid-2018.

The gensets on order are the MGS1500C, the central offering in MHIET’s
MGS Series lineup. They provide a continuous output of 1.2 megawatts
(MW), and due to their high-speed operation, their engines are small in
size and light in weight for units delivering output of this scope. As a
result, a large number of the MGS1500C gensets can be installed within a
limited area of space—one of their foremost benefits for their users.

Manufacture and shipment of the 147 engines on order will be completed
by the end of September. In Indonesia, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries
Engine System Asia Pte. Ltd. (MHIES-A), a wholly owned MHIET subsidiary
that markets and assembles engines and power systems within the Asia
region, will procure the necessary generators and other related
equipment and components. After all sets have been completed, PT Berkat
Manunggal Jaya (BMJ), the local dealer for MGS Series finished gensets,
will install gensets and perform test operations at 19 Kalimantan
districts and 3 Sulawesi districts, followed by formal delivery to PLN.
After the units go into commercial operation, MHIET will provide remote
monitoring services for all installations from its Head Office in
Sagamihara (Kanagawa Pref.), relying on ICT (information and
communication technology).

Indonesia is a nation of more than 13,000 islands straddling the
Equator, and there are numerous regions where it is difficult to supply
electricity from a large-scale power station over a long distance. The
country stands to benefit, however, from abundant availability of oil
resources to serve as diesel fuel, and for this reason PLN is focusing
on supplying power to residents using diesel-based stand-alone
generators. MHI supplied diesel gensets to PLN even before MHIET was
spun off as a Group company, and to date more than 600 units have been
delivered, reaching peak volume between 2008 and 2012. The latest order
was placed in reflection of the high acclaim garnered through this
robust track record.

MHIET is a wholly owned subsidiary of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries
Forklift, Engine & Turbocharger Holdings, Ltd. (M-FET), which itself is
a wholly owned MHI Group company launched in March 2016. MHIET commenced
commercial operations in July 2016, taking over MHI’s engine and
turbocharger businesses as well as operations involving the MGS Series
and other diesel gensets.

Going forward, MHIET will continue devoting its resources to promoting
the adoption of even more efficient compact diesel power plants, as a
way of contributing to economic development and more comfortable living
in regions around the world where stable power supply is difficult and
stand-alone power systems are necessary.
