Background
In September 2017, the Indonesian Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, the Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources of Bangladesh signed a memorandum of understanding for Pertamina, an Indonesian oil and gas holding company, to build a Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) independent power plant with a capacity of 1,400 MW.[6]
Bangladesh was expected to make a decision on Pertamina's proposal, which included Pertamina supplying the natural gas, in late 2019.[7] Concerns delaying the decision included "reportedly dwindling gas reserves in Indonesia and a major overhaul at Pertamina".[8]
In 2018, a Bangladeshi official tipped the plant to come online in 2023.[8]
Project cost for Pertamina and an associated FRDU is believed to be approximately US $2 billion. Pertamina and Marubeni are reported to be potential financiers, with SMBC serving as financial advisor.[9][10][11][12]
