Paiton power complex
PLN Paiton Baru is part of the 4,945-MW Paiton coal-fired power complex, including the two-unit, 800-MW PLN Paiton power station, owned by PLN; the two-unit, 1,340-MW Paiton-1 power station, operated by PT Paiton Energy; the two-unit, 1,320-MW Paiton-2 power station, owned by Siemens AG and YTL Corporation; and the single-unit, 825-MW Paiton-3 power station, operated by PT Paiton Energy.
As of April 2024, Paiton power complex reportedly supplied 60% of East Java's total energy needs.[1]
Background
PLN Paiton Baru power station is a single-unit 660-MW coal-fired power plant in East Java Province, Indonesia.[2] Paiton Baru Unit 9 (also known as New Paiton Baru) was built by Harbin, Truba, Central Southern China Electric Power Design Inst, and PT Mitra Selaras Hutama Energi. The project was originally scheduled for commissioning in 2009 but was actually commissioned in 2012.[3]
According to Platts, an additional 660 MW unit was being planned;[4] however, such a project was not discussed in PLN's long-range plan or on PLN's website. The project appeared to be abandoned.[5][6]
Impact and opposition
In May 2017, it was reported that the Paiton power complex produced the largest amount of Hazardous and Toxic B3 waste of any facility in East Java, 153 million tonnes a year, a figure that represents 80% of the annual total of 170 million tonnes for East Java.[7] B3 waste is defined by Government Regulation 19 of 1994 as "any waste containing dangerous and/or toxic material, which due to its characteristics and/or concentration and/or amount, either directly or indirectly, may damage and/or pollute the living environment and/or endanger human health."[8]
In November 2020, local activists held a protest by flying banners on boats in the waters surrounding the PLN Paiton Baru power station. The action was coordinated by the Blue Sea Coalition (Google translate) and was focused on a 19,000 ton coal spill at the site that was allegedly never cleaned up. Protesters claimed that the spill negatively impacted the local marine ecosystem.[9]
In January 2024, an article described the changes to Bhinor Village caused by the Paiton power complex.[10]
Financing
On 30 January 2008, Export-Import Bank of China and PLN signed a USD 330.8 million credit agreement for the project to finance 85% of the USD 522.8 million cost of an EPC contract between PLN and a consortium consisting of PT Mitra Selaras Hutama Energi and Harbin Power Engineering Company Limited that was signed on 12 March 2007.
