The provincial government in Indonesia's West Nusa Tenggara and China Metallurgical Equipment Corporation (CMEC) on Saturday signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on the construction of a power plant in the province.

The MOU was signed by Governor Serinata and CMRC representative Zhou Zheng with regional legislative council leaders witnessing the ceremony, reported the Antara news agency.

Serinata said a new power plant would be crucial for the province's efforts to attract investors in tourism and mining sectors.

He said poor power supply had prevented foreign direct investments while the state-run electricity company, PT PerusahaanListrik Negara (PLN), was facing limited capacity.

On the occasion, Zhou Zheng promised to supply the province with the sophisticated equipment for a new steam power plant.

He expressed the hope that West Nusa Tenggara could expand cooperation with Chinese investors in power supply and other sectors, such as livestock and fishery.
