Background

In the 2015-2024 PLN long-range supply plan, Sumsel-6 power station in proposed for 2020/2021.[1][2] In the 2017-2026 long-range plan the project is proposed for 2021.[3] In the 2018-2027 long-range plan a 300 MW unit is proposed for 2024, and a second unit referred to as "Sumsel-6B" is proposed for 2026.[4] According to PT Bukit Asam Sumsel-6 will be a mine-mouth power plant.[5] The long-range plan for 2019-2028 lists a single 300-MW unit scheduled for completion in 2027,[6] while Unit 2 is switched to gas.

In May 2019, it was reported that a tender for Sumsel-6 had been cancelled.[7] PLN has assigned responsibility for developing the plant to its subsidiary Pembangkitan Jawa Bali Investasi (PJBI).[8]

In October 2021, the remaining 300-MW unit was shelved under the government's long-range plan for 2021-2030.[9]

In October 2023, with no apparent news since the project was shelved, Sumsel-6 power station was presumed to be cancelled.
