Background
Kalselteng-4 power station was listed on Table 5.54 on p.V-53 of Indonesia's updated electricity supply business plan (RUPTL) for 2019-2028. It was proposed as a mine mouth plant with two 100 MW units to be completed in 2026 and 2027.[2] PLN assigned responsibility for developing the plant to its subsidiary Pembangkitan Jawa Bali Investasi (PJBI).[3]
In June 2021, a report stated that according to RUPTL for 2021-2030, the Kalselteng-4 power station would not be built as a coal-fired power station. It would instead run on a different type of non-renewable energy.[4]
In June 2025, Indonesia publicly released its updated electricity supply business plan (RUPTL 2025-2034). Kalselteng-4 reappeared as "Hybrid Kalselteng 4". The units were slated to begin operating in 2032. The RUPTL stated that Kalselteng-4 Hybrid power station "can be executed as long as demand is available and in accordance with the provisions of Presidential Decree 112/2022" (Google translate).[5]
Reporting on the addition of "hybrid" capacity in the new RUPTL document called the development "concerning". The title "hybrid" reportedly meant that the coal capacity would be co-located with solar capacity.[6]
In November 2025, the organization CERAH highlighted that "hybrid" power proposals, including Kalselteng-4 power station, were a potential loophole for Indonesia to continue expanding fossil fuel capacity despite stated energy transition goals.[7]
