Korea Midland Power Co., the state-run power generator, opened the second elementary school in the Grobogan region of Java Island, Indonesia, last Thursday as part of its global citizenship efforts, the company said in a press release.

Consisting of one wing each for elementary and kindergarten pupils, the new KOMIPO school is equipped with modern conveniences and facilities. The total budget for the project amounted to 320 million won ($287,511), which was financed equally by KOMIPO and KOICA’s Official Development Assistance fund.

“We hope KOMIPO’s school building project in Indonesia will continue to cultivate capable manpower that will contribute to building Indonesia’s economy for a brighter future. Furthermore, the project is expected to support beneficial exchanges between Korea and Indonesia.” KOMIPO president Choi Pyeong-rak said in the opening ceremony.

KOMIPO is undertaking a series of major electric power projects in Indonesia. The company completed construction of a 660MW-class Cirebon Thermal Power Plant and began operations on Java Island last October and is providing operation and maintenance service for the Tanjung Jati coal-fired thermal power plant.
