Background

PT Lestari Baten Energi, a subsidiary of the Malaysian Genting Group, is currently building a single-unit coal-fired power plant with a planned capacity of 670 MW in Banten Province. The plant is scheduled to be completed in 2017. Total cost of the project is expected to be $1 billion.[1]

The project was carried out through a public tender process using the BOOT scheme (Build, Own, Operate and Transfer). Under the BOOT system, the plant will become an asset of the state electricity company, PT PLN, after its 25-year contract expires. The power purchase agreement (PPA) was signed in early July 2012. The project was scheduled to reach its financing date within 12 months of the signing of the PPA.[2] Engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) is being carried out by Harbin Power Engineering, a subsidiary of Chinese company Harbin Electric, with Swiss company ABB building the plant's automation system.[3]

As of early 2015, ABB stated that the plant would go online in mid-2016, earlier than the original 2017 start date.[3]

The PT PLN Long Range Plan for 2016-2025 lists completion in 2017 and describes the project as 625 MW in size.[4]

According to a January 2017 press report, construction was complete and the plant's commercial operation date (COD) was May 2017. Of the 660 MW of capacity, PLN will buy 600 MW and the remaining 60 MW will be used by Lestari Banten Energy for its own purposes. As of March 2017, operational tests were underway.[5]

According to a June 2017 report, the plant was operating in March 2017.[6]

Proposed Expansion

The Indonesia Electricity Supply Business Plan (RUPTL) for 2018-2027 lists a proposed second Unit for the plant, with a capacity of 660 MW and an in-service date of 2025.[7] The cost of the expansion is an estimated US$1 billion.[8] In October 2021 the proposed expansion was shelved under the government's long-range plan for 2021-2030.[9]

In October 2023, with no apparent updates since the project was shelved, the Banten Serang power station expansion was presumed to be cancelled.

Financing

  • Parent company: Genting Group 55%[10], SDIC Power Holdings 40%[11][12], PT Hero Inti Pratama (5%)[13]
  • Cost: US$1 billion (US$1,515 per kW)[14]
  • Source of financing: US$730 million in debt from Citigroup, EXIM Bank of Malaysia, CIMB Bank, Maybank, and RHB Bank; US$268 million in equity from Genting Group and Hero Inti Pratama;[15] US$775 million refinancing via a bond issuance arranged by Citigroup, Barclays, CIMB Group, and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation[16]

Financial closure for Banten 1 was reached in July 2013. US$730 million in debt was provided by Citigroup, EXIM Bank of Malaysia, CIMB Bank, Maybank, and RHB Bank. US$268 million in equity was provided by Genting Group and Hero Inti Pratama.[15]

On February 4, 2019, a US$775 million bond issuance took place for the refinancing of Banten 1. The banks on the issuance were Citigroup, Barclays, CIMB Group, and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation. Through an inter-company loan, proceeds from the refinancing were lent to the project company Banten 1 by the issuer LLPL Capital.[13][16]

SDIC and coal financing

In March 2019, China's State Development Investment Corp. (SDIC) announced that it would no longer invest in new coal-fired power plants, but declined to comment on its investments in coal-fired plants already being developed.[17] SDIC's subsidiary Jaderock Investment acquired a 40% stake in Banten Serang power station in May 2016.[11]
