Paiton power complex
Paiton-2 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 single-unit, 825-MW Paiton-3 power station, operated by PT Paiton Energy; and the single-unit, 660-MW PLN Paiton Baru power station, owned by PLN.
As of April 2024, Paiton power complex reportedly supplied 60% of East Java's total energy needs.[1]
Background
Paiton-2 power station is a 1,320 MW coal-fired power station.[2][3]
The Paiton-2 power station is operated by PT Jawa Power and consists of 2 x 660 MW units. It began construction in 1996 and began operating in 2000.[4]
As of December 2023, the power station co-fired with sawdust.[5] As of August 2024, the power station reportedly co-fired bank note waste.[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 January 2024, an article described the changes to Bhinor Village caused by the Paiton power complex.[9]
