Background on Plant

According to the Indonesia Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, all three units of the plant are operating. The cost of the plant's development was $805 million and was built by "a consortium that included Chinese power equipment giant Dongfang Electric Corp. and Dalle Energy." In July 2013, the project received US$730 million in loans from the Export-Import Bank of Malaysia, Citi, Maybank, CIMB Group and RHB Bank.

Unit 4

According to an article in Diesel and Gas Journal Worldwide, Toshiba is planning to deliver an ultra-supercritical generator for a new unit at Banten Lontar that will enter commercial operation in 2019. It has been permitted.

In June 2016 Indonesia’s President Joko Widodo officiated the groundbreaking of the new unit.

In November 2016, it was reported that PLN was set to start construction, with completion targeted in three and a half years. This implies a completion date of 2020. In March 2019 construction was reported to be at 87.86%. In May 2019 it was reported that Unit 4 would be commissioned in September 2019. In March 2020 the project was one of 12 power plants under development in Indonesia to declare 'force majeur' delays due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
