Background
In 2011 KU Thermal Power received a terms of reference (ToR) toward conducting an EIA for the 1320 MW coal-fired power station.[1]
The company applied for a new ToR in December 2014.[2]
An EIA was submitted in March 2015,[3] and that month KU applied for environmental clearance for the project,[4] which was granted in March 2016.[5]
In April 2016 it was reported that the company had signed a Fuel Supply Agreement with PT Krishapusaka Sejati for providing imported coal from Indonesia.[6]
With no further developments, plans appear to be cancelled.
