Background
The Teluk Sirih power station is a two-unit, 224-MW, coal-fired power station that became operational in 2013. The plant is owned by PLN.[3][4]
The power station was financed by US$138 million in debt from China Development Bank and US$36,767,696 in debt from Association of Regional Banks (Asbanda).[5][6]
In January 2022, there was a report of a fire at the station that burned for four hours.[7]
In August 2022, PLN was collaborating with Padang City Environment and Forestry Service to research co-firing refuse-derived fuel at the power station.[8]
In April 2023, the power station was identified by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources as a potential candidate for early retirement.[9]
In October 2023, the Government of West Sumatra stated that they planned to retire Teluk Sirih power station in 2060.[10]
In December 2023, a Jurnal Ilmiah Teknologi Sistem Informasi (Scientific Journal of Information Systems Technology) article evaluated the occupational safety, training, and maintenance practices at Teluk Sirih power station.[11]
January 2024 reporting indicated that Teluk Sirih power station had implemented biomass co-firing in 2023.[12]
In February 2024, PLN opened a tender for the procurement of woody biomass to co-fire at Teluk Sirih power station.[13]
Opposition and impact
In March 2018, dozens of sea turtles became trapped in the plant's water intake valves due to the plant's failure to install a buffer zone between the valve and the ocean.[14]
In August 2023, residents complained of excessive, daily black and brown smoke emitted by Teluk Sirih power station.[15]
In April 2024, representatives of the nearby community met with the Deputy Mayor of Padang to discuss concerns about the power station. Residents stated that the transport of coal by road was causing excessive dust, infrastructure damage, and environmental degredation.[16]
