On April 20, 2020, the first beam of boiler of unit no. 1 of poya power station in Indonesia was lifted, marking a new stage of One Belt And One Road energy project jointly built by China and Indonesia.

The boya power generation project in south Sumatra province, Indonesia, is a chinese-owned power station in hang hau jointly developed by China huadian group and Indonesia's state-owned coal company, and built by China huadian Hong Kong co., LTD., which will build two 660MW supercritical coal-fired power units. It is a key energy project jointly built by China and Indonesia in One Belt And One Road. The project is expected to be commercially operational by March 2022, generating 9 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity a year after completion.

The sudden outbreak of covid-19 disrupted the project's original construction plans: professionals were unable to get in, transport and production was lagging behind, and unexpected factors delayed the construction schedule, according to gu chiu-cheng, general manager of the Indonesian boya project at huadian Hong Kong. The project department made relevant deployment urgently to try to win the battle of epidemic prevention and control and the battle of project construction.

According to gu, the company has put the safety and health of its employees first and taken multiple measures to prevent and control the epidemic. Timely disinfection of office areas, canteens, dormitories, vehicles and other key areas for prevention and control; To implement closed management on the project site and resolutely block the import channels of the epidemic; To all the staff to distribute masks, disinfectant and other epidemic prevention materials. At the same time, a large number of medical supplies with a total value of about 1.25 million yuan were donated to local parties, including disposable masks, N95 masks, temperature measuring guns, medical protective clothing, medical goggles and medical gloves. So far, no covid-19 infection has occurred among employees in this project.

Although the new epidemic affected the construction, the project department made reasonable deployment of construction and lean management, so that the construction can be carried out in an orderly manner. The project will play a positive role in promoting Indonesia's economic development, cultivating local electric power technology talents, improving Indonesia's energy structure, promoting employment and deepening china-indonesia cooperation.
