Background

The Sumsel 5 coal-fired power station with 2 x 150 MW capacity was built by Sinar Mas with a total estimated cost of $400 million. In February 2012, PLN signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with DSSP Power Sumsel, a subsidiary of Dian Swastika Sentosa.[1] Sinar Mas will supply electricity to PLN for 25 years through a "build, own, operate, & transfer" (BOOT) agreement, signed in November 2011.[2]

China National Electric Engineering Company (CNEEC) was the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractor for the project.[3][4] Ground was broken on the construction project in May 2013.[2] As of January 2015, construction was expected to be completed by November 2015.[5]

According to a June 2015 article that quoted Sumsel's head of mining and energy development Robert Heri, Sumsel-5 had been delayed by three years due to a variety of obstacles facing plants in South Sumatra, including unprepared land constraints, unavailability of funds, and permit tendering.[6]

A different press report, also in June 2015, stated that construction was on schedule and the plant was 90% complete. The article quoted PT Dian Swastika Sentosa (DSSA) Director and Corporate Secretary Hermawan Tarjono. According to Tarjono, Unit 1 was in testing and could be operating commercially in late 2015.[7]

According to the builder of the plant, China National Electric Engineering Co., Units 1 and 2 completed their 168-hour tests in March 2016.[8] The Sumsel-5 power station began commercial operations in December 2016.[9]

As of January 2023, the power station would reportedly operate until 2041 in accordance to its power purchase agreement.[10]

Financing

In December 2012, a financing agreement for units 1 and 2 was closed. China Development Bank agreed to provide a US$400 million loan, and Sinar Mas Group agreed to provide US$20 million in equity.[11]

In December 2020, the Hong Kong-based company Datang Overseas Energy Investment Co., Ltd., acquired a 75% ownership stake in Dian Swastatika Sentosa Tbk, for a purchase price of USD 394 million.[12]

Expansion

In July 2016, it was reported Golden Energy Mines of Sinar Mas Group would expand the power station by 2 x 150 MW. The plant was previously referred to as the Sumsel-7 power station.[13] The 2018-2027 PT PLN long-range plan and the 2019-2028 long-range plan both list a 350 MW expansion scheduled for completion in 2023.[14][15]

In October 2021, the expansion was shelved under the government's long-range plan for 2021-2030.[16]

In October 2023, with no apparent news regarding the expansion project, Sumsel-5 power station Unit 3 was presumed to be cancelled.
