Experience Highlight
- Assisted PT Rukun Raharja Tbk in negotiating a joint operation agreement with PT Pertamina Gas (Pertagas) for the development of 300 km downstream crude pipeline.
- Advised Korea LNG in the development of mini LNG receiving terminal at Bontang NGL terminal in cooperation with PT Pertamina (Persero) and PT PLN Gas & Geothermal. The project was subsequently aborted.
- Advising the sponsor, a subsidiary of a middle east state-owned entity, on the development of a 145 MW Floating Photovoltaic Solar Power Plant with a power evacuation substation. When in operation, the power plant will be the first floating photovoltaic power plant in Indonesia and one of the world’s largest. Being one of the first project to be developed under the new PLN’s direct appointment regime adds a bankability challenge to this project due to World Bank’s negative pledge clause. AHP has to find pragmatic and creative solutions to provide bankable security to the project’s lenders.

The consortium is undertaking the onshore engineering, procurement, and commissioning work for Jawa-1 Project, a mega combined cycle gas-fired power plant project aimed to generate electricity of up to 1,760 MW. Our works include conducting due diligence, reviewing the onshore EPC contract, and issuing a legal opinion with respect to Meindo for the benefit of the lenders in order to allow PT Jawa Satu Power to reach financial close. The lenders in Jawa-1 Project consisted of Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) and Nippon Export and Investment Insurance Co, Ltd (NEXI), The Asian Development Bank (ADB), Mizuho Bank Ltd, MUFG Bank Ltd, Overseas-Chinese Banking Cooperation Ltd, Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, and Société Générale.
