Background on Project
In July 2009, the Bakrie Group first announced plans to build a two-unit, 200-MW mine-mouth coal-fired power plant near Kaltim Prima Coal's Sangatta coal mine in East Kalimantan. The project was scheduled to begin construction in 2010, and to go online in 2013.[1]
In February 2012, Bakrie once again stated its intention to build the plant, after presenting their plans to the East Kalimantan governor. At that point, the project had already gone through technical studies and environmental assessment.[2] Cost at that time was given as $350-400 million, and Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) had been brought into the project as contractor. Bakrie planned to begin construction in 2013, and bring the plant online in 2016. [3] In May 2012, Bakrie gave 2017 as the plant's completion date.[4]
There has been little mention of the project since then, and it is unclear whether it is still active. With no developments in four years, it appears as of May 2016 that the project has been abandoned.
In August 2019 the BUMI Sangatta power station was proposed as a 2 x 200 mine-mouth plant at the Sengatta mine.
