id a N. V. NEDERLANDSCHE-INDISCHE WATERKRACHT EXPLOITATIE MIJ (N. I. W. E. M.) The N. I. W. E. M. was formed in 1925 by the A. N. I. E. M. and the Netherland East Indies Government for the purpose of develop- ing the water-power resources of the Konto River in east Java. In addition to the construction of a hydroelectric station under Govern- ment supervision, the N. I. W. E. M. also has built high-tension lines and substations for the distribution of energy in bulk to public- utility companies, chief of which is the A. N. I. E. M. The present capital of the N. I. W. E. M. is over 6,000,000 florins, which is shared equally by the two contracting parties. The company is managed by the A. N. I. E. M. under the supervision of a board of five which includes two A. N. I. E. M. members and three who represent the Government. The N. I. W. E. M. has only one station, Mendalan, in operation at present, but plans are now under way for the construction of a second hydroelectric plant with a proposed capacity of 30,000 horse- power at Siman, also on the Konto River. The present station, Mendalan, has a capacity of 16,500 kilowatts, and its output is used to supplement the power of the A. N. I. E. M.'s Diesel plants at Surabava and Malang. N. V.
