Background

In 2017, the state electricity company PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) and Gama Corp were jointly developing coal terminal in Banten, in the western tip of Java Island, with estimated investment of Rp2 trillion. Project construction was inaugurated by President Joko Widodo in October 2017. The coal terminal will have the capacity to accommodate 20 million tons of coal. Unit 1 of the coal terminal was scheduled to start commercial operation in April 2020 and Unit 2 in October 2020. Coal from the terminal will be supplied to coal fired power plants in West Java including Banten Suralaya power station, Pelabuhan Ratu power station, Banten Lontar power station, and the proposed Jawa-7 power station.

As per 2017 source, the location of the terminal was said to be adjacent to the Jawa-7 power station, with the target of being able to operate commercially together with the needs of the power plant. In addition, the coal terminal was said to have to function as an emergency stock outside of West Java. The coal terminal required an area of ​​around 20 hectares of land, with an investment value of US$145 million.

Jawa-7 power station started operating Unit 1 in 2019 and Unit 2 in 2020. When it was commissioned in 2019, it was also reported that the the pier was launched that handles coal from barges that are then placed on the conveyor that takes it to the power plant. Coal is supplied by PLN's subsidiary, PLN Batubara, as much as 7 million tonnes per year. A source from 2023 referred to a 4km long conveyor from the Jawa-7 power plant to the dedicated coal terminal. It therefore appeared that the coal terminal has a lower capacity and only serves the Jawa-7 power station.
