Background
In March 2019 PLN UIW Riau announced that it planned to buid a 2 x 100 MW coal-fired plant in Tanjung Pinang on Riau Island.[1] In March 2020 a Decree (SK) of Location Appointment (Penlok) was signed by the Acting Head (Plt) of the Governor of Riau Islands, designating 66.3 ha in the Galangbatang area, Bintan.[2] In June 2020 surveys and land acquisition for a site in Gunung Kijang Village, Gunung Kijang District had begun and were supposed to be complete by December 2020.[3]
PLN has struggled to complete the acquisition of the land required to build the Bintan power station. In April of 2021, reports emerged of a complex land dispute surrounding the proposed construction site. It was also revealed that PLN did not include land acquisition for the power station in its planned activities for 2021.[4]
In the RUPTL for 2021-2030, the proposal appeared to be replaced by plans for a renewable energy project.[5] The power station was therefore presumed to be cancelled.
