Background
Punagaya power station is a two-unit, 250-MW coal-fired power plant built by the Bosowa Corporation in South Sulawesi Province.[1] The plant cost $250 million, and was completed in 2011.[2][3][4]
In 2012, Bosowa announced plans to build a second phase at Punagaya.[5] After initially planning to build a single additional 300-MW unit, Bosowa in March 2015 broke ground on a project to build two additional 125-MW units at Punagaya, at a cost of $300 million. Financing was provided by domestic and Chinese banks.[6] The plant is scheduled to go online in 2017. Construction is being managed by PT Sumberenergi Sakti Prima (SSP).[4]
PT PLN's 2015-2024 long range supply plan includes "Jeneponto 2" (2 x 125 MW in 2018/2019) and "Punagaya (FTP2) (2 x 100 MW in 2017/2018.) The "Punagaya (FTP2)" appears to be the same as the Takalar power station.[7] In the 2017-2026 long-range plan Units 3 and 4 are scheduled for 2017 and 2018.[8] The long-range plan for 2018-2027 plan lists a completion date of 2018 for both units.[9]
Units 1 and 2 were inaugurated by Indonesian President Joko Widodo in July 2018. The units were now described as having a capacity of 135 MW each.[10]
In February 2021, the power station began co-firing corncobs sourced from local farmers.[11]
In March 2023, a coal conveyor belt caught fire at the power station, resulting in a major fire event.[12]
Opposition
In September 2019, residents from South Sulawesi, led by young members of the community, held a protest at the Punagaya power station. They claimed that the operation of the coal-fired power station had contaminated three wells used by villagers for drinking water, rendering the water from these wells unsafe for human consumption. They also demanded compensation for damage caused by the pollution.[13] A second demonstration was held in February 2020, with the same demands.[14]
In August 2023, an article described the reported negative environmental and public health impacts of Punagaya power station on the local community.[15]
