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.[1][2]

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.[3][4] As of September 2017, construction was 56% complete.[5] In July 2018, PT Dian Swastatika Sentosa announced that construction was 90% complete.[6] In April 2019, Dian Swastatika announced that the plant was preparing to begin commercial operations.[7] The plant was reportedly completed in October 2019.[8]

As of January 2023, the power station would reportedly operate until 2044.[9]

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.[10][3]

In December 2020, the Hong Kong-based company Datang Overseas Energy Investment Co., Ltd., acquired a 75% ownership stake in Dian Swastatika Sentosa Tbk, for a purchase price of US$394 million.[11]
