Background
According to the Indonesia Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, all three units of the plant are operating.[1] The cost of the plant's development was $808.4 million and was built by "a consortium that included Chinese power equipment giant Dongfang Electric Corp. and Dalle Energy."[2][3]
Units 1-3 co-fired coal with refuse-derived fuel and rice husk.[4]
Unit 4
According to an article in Diesel and Gas Journal Worldwide, Toshiba is planning to deliver an ultra-supercritical generator for a new unit at Banten Lontar that will enter commercial operation in 2019.[5] It has been permitted.[6]
In June 2016, Indonesia’s President Joko Widodo officiated the groundbreaking of the new unit.[7]
In November 2016, it was reported that PLN was set to start construction, with completion targeted in three and a half years. This implies a completion date of 2020.[8] In March 2019, construction was reported to be at 87.86%.[9] In May 2019, it was reported that Unit 4 would be commissioned in September 2019.[10] In March 2020, the project was one of 12 power plants under development in Indonesia to declare 'force majeur' delays due to the Covid-19 pandemic.[11]
In June 2021 it was reported that Unit 4 was 97.18% complete and that it would be commissioned in 2021.[12] In October 2021 PT PLN announced a target commissioning date of April 2022 for Unit 4.[13]
In August 2022, it was reported that PLN had successfully fired and synchronized unit 4 in July 2022.[14]
In February 2023, the expansion was listed as a 2022 achievement.[15] The unit was presumed to be fully built, but it was unclear that it had reached Commercial Operation (COD).
In May 2023, Unit 4 was described as "under preparation" (Google translate).[16] In June 2023, partner groups in the region reiterated that the unit was not yet operating due to grid overcapacity.
In August 2023, Unit 4 was described as being "capable" (Google translate) of producing 315 MW of electricity, but reporting did not indicate that the unit was actually operating.[17]
Financing
In May 2009, US$565 million in loans was provided for Units 1-3 by China Exim Bank and Bank Bukopin. The remaining US$243.4 million of the US$808.4 million in costs was covered by equity from Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN).[18]
In March 2016, the Japan Bank for International Cooperation committed to providing an export loan of US$107 million for Banten Lontar Unit 4. The loan was co-financed by Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, which provided an additional US$72 million loan.[19]
