Background

As of July 2023, a three unit, 350 MW coal-fired power station was under construction at Indonesia Huabao Industrial Park (IHIP). The local communities of Ambunu and Tono villages in Central Sulawesi were reportedly protesting the development of the power station as of September 2023. The power station, along with a nickel smelter, were slated to complete construction and enter operation within seven months.

In December 2023, construction was nearing completion. The project would be inaugurated in March 2024. The power station was owned by PT Baoshuo Taman Industry Investment Group (BTIIG). BTIIG and IHIP were owned by Chinese parent company Zhenshi Holding Group.

The villages most affected by the construction of the power station were: Topogaro Village, Ambunu Village, Tondo Village and Wata Village. Residents were reportedly concerned about environmental impacts, land compensation, local employment, agricultural impacts, and the infrastructure's proximity to densely populated residential areas.

In March 2024, the power station and related nickel processing facility were expected to begin operating in 2024.

In May 2024, the power station did not yet appear to be operating. PT BTIIG was allegedly developing the facility without the proper permits.
