Background on Plant

The Adipala power station is operated by PLN. Plans for the power station were first announced in November 2009. The construction contractor on the project was China National Technical Import and Export Corporation (CNTIC). The pile foundations were completed in December 2012. The plant went online in March 2015.

Financing

In October 2009, a financing agreement for the project was closed. China Development Bank provided a loan of US$625 million to fund the project.

Environmental Impact

Residents living near the Adipala power station have complained of significant coal dust pollution. Residents are concerned that coal dust has potential environmental hazards and threatens their health. One of the residents of Bleberan Hamlet, Puji, admitted that he often experiences shortness of breath due to dust from the power station. Another resident, Ani, said, "We are here every day breathing coal dust. Every day the dust sticks to our bodies. My son has had respiratory problems several times. Meanwhile, assistance from the PLTU has been slow. Donations such as rice have only been given once since they were founded.”
