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. NEDERLANDSCH-INDISCHE GAS MIJ ( (N.1. G. M.)
The N. I. G. M. is the oldest public-utility company in the Neth-
srland East Indies, having been established in 1896 to supply light
and power to Batavia and its suburbs. In 1899 the company estab-
lished a plant at Medan, Sumatra. Further development of the
company has been confined chiefly to the Outer Possessions. Ag
present it is supplying current to 4 towns and villages in Java
and to 16 towns and villages in Sumatra and the Celebes. The most
important installations of the N. I. G. M. are in the vicinity of
Batavia and at Medan, Palembang; and Macassar.
At the end of 1928 the book value of the entire undertaking exclu-
sive of renewal and reserve funds was 27,535,000 florins. During
the same year the dividend on the company’s ordinary shares was
12% per cent.
