Background

In 2012, Sarawak Energy Bhd (SEB) said it planned to build five more coal-fired power plants, including a 600 MW Mukah West I and 600 MW Mukah West II.

Since the Mukah West power station was not mentioned on Sarawak Energy's list of upcoming projects as of 2016, the project appeared to be abandoned.
