Background

In October 2014, PT Tanjung Power Indonesia signed a power purchase agreement with PLN for the construction of a two-unit, 200-MW coal-fired power plant in South Kalimantan Province. Tanjung Power, the project's developer, is a joint venture between Adaro Indonesia and Korea East-West Power (a subsidiary of Korea Electric Power Corporation, or KEPCO). The plant would be located near Adaro's Tabalong coal concession, and would cost $450-550 million. The project is part of Phase II of Indonesia's Fast Track Program, and would be built under a Build, Own, Operate, & Transfer (BOOT) agreement with PLN. Financing is scheduled to be finalized by late 2015, and the plant is scheduled for completion in 2019.[1][2][3]

In January 2017, it was reported that construction of the plant was 30% complete.[4] In August 2017 a building on the construction site collapsed and injured 7 workers.[5] Construction was expected to be complete in Q3 of 2018.[6] In September 2018 it was reported that construction of the plant was 85% complete.[7] In June 2019 Adaro announced that the plant would be commissioned in the second half of 2019.[8] Unit 1 was commissioned in September 2019 and Unit 2 was commissioned in December 2019.[9]

In October 2022, the Institute for Essential Services Reform listed Tabalong power station as a strong candidate for early retirement.[10]

In May 2024, PT Tanjung Power Indonesia signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Tabalong Regency Government for the co-firing of municipal waste at their coal-fired power station in Tabalong.[11]

Financing

In October 2015, Adaro Energy secured financing for the proposed plant.[12] The project reached financial closure after it secured US$540 million in loans from Korea Development Bank, MUFG Bank, DBS Bank, Mizuho Financial Group, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, and HSBC. The financial advisor for the project is DBS Bank.[13]
