Background

The site is not to be confused with the Parit Baru power station. For additional details about the relationship and uncertainty related to the proposal, see its wiki for additional details.

The Bengkayang Power Station consists of 2 x 50 MW units and is operated by PLN. Unit 1 began operations in December 2018. Unit 2 began operations in July 2019. The Bengkayang Power Station is located approximately 2.5 miles northeast of the Kalbar-1 power station.

In October 2023, a memorandum of understanding was signed for the co-firing of palm oil-derived biomass at Bengkayang power station. As of February 2024, the power station was co-firing 5% biomass.
