Background on Plant
According to the Indonesia Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, all three units of the plant are operating.[2] 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."[3] 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.[4]
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.[5] It has been permitted.[6]
In June 2016, Indonesia’s President Joko Widodo officiated the groundbreaking of the new unit.[7]
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.[8] In March 2019, construction was reported to be at 87.86%.[9] In May 2019, it was reported that Unit 4 would be commissioned in September 2019.[10] 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.[11]
Financing for Unit 4
In March 2016, the Japan Bank for International Cooperation committed to providing an export loan of US$107 million for the project. The loan was cofinanced by Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, which provided an additional US$72 million loan.[12]
