Background on Project
In July 2013, PT Cita Mineral Investindo, a subsidiary of the Harita Group, began construction on the first of two phases of the massive Well Harvest Ketapang aluminum smelter in West Kalimantan, at a total cost of $1 billion.[1] The first phase apparently includes a three-unit, 80-MW coal-fired power plant and is expected to be completed in 2016.[2] It began operating in June 2016.[3]
In June 2022, the power station was temporarily taken offline due to a "disturbance" (Google translate), resulting in a power deficit in the Ketapang area.[4]
Expansion
In 2013, it was announced that a second phase consisting of a three-unit 80-MW coal plant would be completed by 2016.[5][6] In October 2017 it was reported that construction of the second phase would begin in 2018.[7] The smelter and 3 x 80 MW plants began operating in December 2021.[8]
Ownership
As of April 2014, Harita had apparently sold a 60% stake in the Well Harvest Ketapang project to China Hongqiao Group, retaining only a 25% share.[2]
In May 2016, the ownership structure was described as 30 percent Harita Grou, 56 percent China Hongqiao Group, 9 percent Winning Investment (Hongkong) Company, and 5 percent Shadong Weiqiao Aluminum and Electricity Company.
Financing
Ketapang-1: In January 2017, a financing agreement for the Ketapang-1 facility, including the power plant, was closed. US$330 million in loans was provided by Indonesia Eximbank, Bank of China, OCBC Bank, and DBS Bank.[2][9] US$421 million in equity was provided by China Hongqiao Group, Harita Group, and Winning Investment. DBS Bank acted as financial adviser to the sponsors.[9] This loan applies to the expansion of the whole facility, including the power plant, so the financing amounts for the power plant are not known.
Ketapang-2: In November 2019, a financing agreement for the Ketapang-2 facility, including the power plant, was closed.[10] US$595 million in loans was provided by the Bank of China, DBS Bank, Indonesia Eximbank, OCBC Bank, BNP Paribas, and China Exim Bank. US$144.20 million in equity was provided by China Hongqiao Group, Cita Mineral Investindo, Winning Investment, and Shandong Weiqiao Aluminium Electricity.[11] This loan applies to the expansion of the facility, including the power plant, so the financing amounts for the power plant are not known.
Community Opposition
In October 2023, members of the local community expressed public health concerns regarding fine particle pollution from Ketapang Smelter power station.[12]
