Background on Project

In July 2013, PT Cita Mineral Investindo, a subsidiary of the Harita Group, began construction on the first of two phases of the massive Well Harvest Ketapang aluminum smelter in West Kalimantan, at a total cost of $1 billion.[2]

The first phase apparently includes a three unit, 80 MW coal-fired power plant (30 MW, 2 x 25 MW) and was expected to be completed in 2016.[3] It began operating in June 2016.[4]

Expansion

In 2013, it was announced that the second phase consisting of another three unit, 80 MW coal plant would be completed by 2016.[5][6]

In October 2017, it was reported that construction of the second phase would begin in 2018.[7] The smelter and 30 MW + 2 x 25 MW coal units began operating in December 2021.[8][9]

Ownership

As of April 2014, Harita had apparently sold a 60% stake in the Well Harvest Ketapang project to China Hongqiao Group, retaining only a 25% share.[3]

In May 2016, the ownership structure was described as 30 percent Harita Grou, 56 percent China Hongqiao Group, 9 percent Winning Investment (Hongkong) Company, and 5 percent Shadong Weiqiao Aluminum and Electricity Company.

Financing

Ketapang-1: In January 2017, a financing agreement for the Ketapang-1 facility, including the power plant, was closed. US$330 million in loans was provided by Indonesia Eximbank, Bank of China, OCBC Bank, and DBS Bank.[3][10] US$421 million in equity was provided by China Hongqiao Group, Harita Group, and Winning Investment. DBS Bank acted as financial adviser to the sponsors.[10] This loan applies to the expansion of the whole facility, including the power plant, so the financing amounts for the power plant are not known.

Ketapang-2: In November 2019, a financing agreement for the Ketapang-2 facility, including the power plant, was closed.[11] US$595 million in loans was provided by the Bank of China, DBS Bank, Indonesia Eximbank, OCBC Bank, BNP Paribas, and China Exim Bank. US$144.20 million in equity was provided by China Hongqiao Group, Cita Mineral Investindo, Winning Investment, and Shandong Weiqiao Aluminium Electricity.[12] This loan applies to the expansion of the facility, including the power plant, so the financing amounts for the power plant are not known.
