Background
The Banjarsari power station is a mine-mouth coal-fired power station in South Sumatra, Indonesia. The size is described by the sponsor as 2 x 110 MW; however, two of the companies involved in building the plant, Black & Veatch and Chinese National Electric Engineering, refer to it as 2 x 135 MW. The plant is being built by PT Bukit Pembangkit Innovative, a joint venture of PT Bukit Asam, PLN, and MAXpower Group. It would be fed by local mines run by PT Bukit Asam (PTBA).[2][3]
Construction is being run by Chinese National Electric Engineering Company (CNEEC) and began in 2012.[2][4] The plant is expected to be completed in April 2015.[5]
According to an April 2015 report, the plant is waiting to connect to the network.[6]
In January 2016, South Sumatra Governor Alex Noerdin gave the opening speech for the plant, which was described as being already in the commercial stage.[7]
The Banjarsari power station had not performed as well as expected. In 2017, its availability factor was only 46.68%, much lower than the 80% specified in the Power Purchase Agreement. As a result of the underperformance, Bukit Pembangkit Innovative was fined approximately USD 21 million.[8]
In August 2023, an article recounted that villagers in the nearby area were unhappy with the project's relationship to the community.[9]
Financing
In February 2008, a financing agreement for the project was closed. Bank Mandiri and Indonesia Eximbank provided US$180 million in loans.[10] It was also reported that the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China provided a loan of US$190 million.[11]
