Background
Bukit Asam Muara Enim power station (also known as Bukit Asam power station) was commissioned between 1987 and 1994, across four units totaling 260 MW.[2][3][4]
In October 2022, Bukit Asam Muara Enim was included on a list of power stations in Indonesia that were proposed candidates for early retirement due to poor technical, economical or environmental findings.[5]
In December 2022, a biomass co-firing pilot started at Bukit Asam Muara Enim power station.[6] In October 2024, reporting stated that the power station begain co-firing biomass in 2021. The goal was to increase the proportion of biomass from 5% to 10%.[7]
