Background
In October 2015 China’s Qingdao Hengshun Zhongsheng Group held a ground-breaking ceremony for the construction of a 2 x 65 MW coal-fired plant at the Hengshun Zhongsheng Indonesia Industrial Park in Morowali, Indonesia.[1] A geological survey conducted in December 2014 had found the site to be unsuitable for building a power plant.[2]
The plant was proposed in September 2019 as part of Qingdao Indonesia Comprehensive Industrial Park, and will power twelve nickel smelters, among other facilities.[3]
Satellite photography from Planet showed construction of the park proceeding between May 2021 and November 2021.
According to Qingdao Zhongcheng's Q1 2021 report, construction of the plant was 49% complete.[4]
As of April 2022, Units 1-2 had been commissioned.[5]
In January 2023, there were no known updates on the status of the pre-permitted units. Planet imagery comparing the power station in September 2022 and April 2023 showed that some land clearing had taken place, but there were no signs of a construction start.
As of May 2023, reporting varied in its indication of whether the project would consist of two[6], four[7] or six[8] units. With no mention of additional pre-permit units on the company's website, Units 3-6 were presumed to be cancelled.
As of March 2024, Planet imagery showed two units at the site.
