Paiton power complex
Paiton-3 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, 660-MW PLN Paiton Baru power station, also owned by PLN.
As of April 2024, Paiton power complex reportedly supplied 60% of East Java's total energy needs.[1]
Background
Paiton-3 power station is a single-unit, 825-MW coal plant commissioned in 2012 in East Java, Indonesia.[2][3][4]
Initially, International Power had a 31% share in the project. In its 2009 annual report International Power, a 31% shareholder in the project, stated that "in March 2010 we signed the US$1,215 million financing for the 815MW coal-fired Paiton 3 plant in Indonesia, which will be located within the existing Paiton complex. The project, has a 30-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with PT PLN, the Indonesian state utility, and construction is covered by a fixed price contract with the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd."[2]
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.[5] 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."[6]
In January 2024, an article described the changes to Bhinor Village caused by the Paiton power complex.[7]
Financing
In 2009, PLN was in discussions with Chinese banks to fund the Paiton-3 power station. As of February 2009, PLN had already received approximately US$330 million in disbursements from the Export-Import Bank of China. However, although a funding agreement for the full cost of the power station had reportedly been signed, there were ongoing complications between the PLN and the Chinese funders, with the latter demanding higher interest rates on the loans than previously agreed.[8]
In 2010 Paiton Energy signed a US$1.215 billion loan agreement to accelerate the plant's construction with the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) and eight commercial banks: Crédit Agricole, MUFG, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, HSBC, ING BNP Paribas, Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Holdings and Mizuho.[9] In 2017 Paiton Energy tapped a further US$754 million in refinancing in from Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, HSBC, Barclays, DBS Bank, Mizuho, Standard Chartered, Citi and Shinsei Bank.[10] It appears that the Chinese funders pulled out of the project and were replaced by an international consortium of banks.
In 2017, Paiton Energy issued a bond of US$2bn and raised commercial debt of US$754 million from a consortium of banks to refinance existing senior debt incurred in 2010 in connection with the Paiton-3 expansion.[11] The new debt is raised also against Units 7 and 8 of Paiton-1 power station.
Ownership
In June 2021, Mitsui & Co. Ltd. announced that it would sell its majority stake (45.5%) in PT Paiton Energy to RH International (Singapore) Corporation Pte. Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Thai energy company RATCH Group Public Company Limited. Mitsui stated that it was selling its stake in PT Paiton in an attempt to increase the sustainability of its operations. Apart from Mitsui, Paiton Energy is owned by Qatari energy investment company, Nebras Power QSC (35.5%), PT Toba Bara Sejahtra Tbk. (TOBA)(5%), and Jera Co., which is a joint venture between Tokyo Electric Power Co. and Chubu Electric Power Co. (14%).[12]
In May 2024, following a period of conflict and delay, RATCH officially acquired Mitsui's shares of PT Paiton Energy.[13][14]
