Project-level coal details
- Coal source(s): Indonesia
- Permit(s): May 18, 2011 – Environmental Clearance; Environmental Impact Assessment: 2014-10
Background
Accord Energy received environmental clearance for a 300 MW coal plant in 2011. The coal source is proposed to be imported coal from Indonesia, but may be changed to domestic coal at a later stage.[1] According to the first project EIA there would be no resettlements for the power station.[2]
Another EIA was submitted in October 2014 to increase the capacity of the plant from 300 MW to 360 MW.[3]
As of December 2018, with no progress in over four years, the project appears to be on hold or cancelled.
