Background
According to a June 2015 report, Kendari-3 power station is a 2 x 50 MW coal plant proposed for Kendari in Southeast Sulawesi province. At that time, the project was in the land acquisition stage. The estimated cost is US$200 million. Construction was targeted for 2016, with completion targeted for 2018.[4][5]
The project had a groundbreaking ceremony in September 2016 and appears to have entered into substantial construction, though the 2017-2026 long-range plan still describes it as in the "procurement" stage rather than the "construction" stage. Projected commercial operating date (COD) was listed as 2019.[6][7] As of September 2017, construction was 56% complete.[8] In July 2018, PT Dian Swastatika Sentosa announced that construction was 90% complete.[9] In April 2019, Dian Swastatika announced that the plant was preparing to begin commercial operations.[10] The plant was reportedly completed in October 2019.[11]
As of January 2023, the power station would reportedly operate until 2044.[12]
Opposition
In August 2025, Forum Kajian Pemuda Mahasiswa Indonesia (Indonesian Youth and Student Study Forum) held a demonstration calling for the reduced use of coal at Kendari-3 power station.[13]
Financing
In September 2016, a financing agreement for the project was closed. A US$150 million loan was provided by China Development Bank, and US$50 million in equity was provided by Sinar Mas Group.[14][6]
Ownership Change
In December 2020, the Hong Kong-based company Datang Overseas Energy Investment Co., Ltd., acquired a 75% stake in the business entity of PT Dian Swastatika Sentosa Tbk, for a purchase price of US$394 million.[15] PT Dian Swastatika Sentosa (part of Sinar Mas Group) reported in its 2020 annual report that in December 2020, they established a strategic partnership with Datang Overseas (Hong Kong) Energy Investment Co., Limited through the divestment of 75% shares of the project company. This was in line with the increasingly intensive campaigns fort the use of clean energy around the world and to allow the company to realize future expansion plans.[16] PT Dian Swastatika's 2023 report confirmed that they hold 25% in PT Datang DSSP Power Indonesia, which has 600MW of operating capacity (i.e. Sumsel - 5 with 300MW, Kalselteng-1 power station with 200MW and Kendari-3 power station with 100MW).[17]
