Background
Amamapare Port power station supplies electricity solely for mining operations conducted at the Grasberg Open Pit Copper Mine.[8][9]
In December 2021, Freeport Indonesia was considering making a fuel switch from coal to LNG.[10] The possibility of a coal to gas conversion was also mentioned in July 2022.[11]
In Feburary 2023, the President Director of PT Freeport Indonesia stated: "we will also replace our PLTU (steam powered) plants with PLTG (gas-powered) plants".[12] The statement was connected to the company's plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30% by 2030.[13]
As of October 2023, the coal-fired power station would reportedly be retired and replaced by a gas plant in 2027. The facility is estimated to cost US$1 billion.[14]
As of January 2025, the plan to replace the coal plant with gas-fired capacity was ongoing.[15] As of August 2025, the plan reportedly remained on schedule.[16]
