Background

Bangka Baru power station is a 60 MW coal-fired power station.

In October 2022, a 100% conversion from coal to palm kernel shells, a form of biomass, was tested at the power station for several days. The units co-fired with 5% palm kernel shells throughout 2022.

In April 2023, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources identified Bangka Baru power station as a potential target for an early retirement program.
