Background
Batu Hijau power station is a 112 MW coal-fired power station located at the Batu Hijau copper and gold mine.[6][7]
The Batu Hijau power station provides electricity solely for mining operations at the Batu Hijau copper and gold mine. The 112 MW coal plant is supported by nine diesel-powered generators. The plant uses approximately 500,000 tons of coal per year, 70% of which is supplied by PT Adaro Energy Tbk, with the remaining 30% supplied by PT Kideco Jaya Agung, a subsidiary of PT Indika Energy Tbk.[8]
A May 2023 report discussing the Batu Hijau mine indicated that the coal-fired power station would be retired when the new "combined-cycle gas power plant and LNG storage and regasification terminal at Benete Bay" was completed in 2024.[9]
In March 2024, Amman Mineral disclosed that US$438 million would be invested for the construction of the gas and steam power plant with supporting LNG facilities.[10]
The coal-fired power station remained in operation as of April[11] and December[12] 2024.
Proposed expansion
In January 2018, PT Amman Mineral received environmental permits to construct a smelter near the Batu Hijau copper mine, which would require additional power facilities in order to operate.[13]
In June 2018, the bidding to build two additional units was won by Taihao International, Hydropower International, and Shanghai Electric Power Construction Joint Venture.[14] The project would cost 1.5 billion yuan.[14]
In June 2019, construction of the smelter was in the Front End Engineering Development (FEED) phase, and the overall project was described as being 13.6% complete by PT Amman Mineral Nusa Tenggara.[15]
In November 2019, the Nusa Tenggara provincial government appointed a committee to increase coordination and accelerate construction of the smelter.[16] The plant was described as having a capacity of 300-500 MW.[16]
In April 2020, PT Amman Mineral requested to delay completion of the smelter by 18 months, pushing the target completion back from 2022 to 2024.[17] Delayed completion of the smelter would likely delay completion of the 2 x 150 MW power station expansion as well.
In August 2022, Amman Mineral stated that they would be developing a three unit gas-fired power station at the site.[18]
In January 2023, Planet imagery suggested that Units 5 and 6 of the coal-fired project had not progressed. The two additional units were presumed to be cancelled.
