Background

Energy World is developing an LNG facility on the South Sulawesi coast near its Sengkang contract area and a 315 megawatt gas power plant. It would have capacity of 2 million tonnes per annum.

The expected date of commercial operation (2017) is uncertain because of "usual construction risks for the outstanding construction programme and country risk in relation to the legal, regulatory and physical environment of Indonesia."

In November 2018 construction was reported to be 80% complete.

As of February 2020, there have been no updates since 2018 and the project is presumed to remain under construction.

In February 2021 it was reported that, after resolving a land issue related to the project over the last four years, Energy World was planning to restart development of the nearly complete project.

In February 2023, the U.S. Energy Information Administration reported that only the first train was under construction.

Construction progress appears to be stalled, despite the developers' statements that the project is being built. A 2023 report from Energy World describes the state of construction, including that "This project is well advanced with key equipment, including four cold-boxes, compressors, and ancillary equipment already on site. The LNG storage tank has been fully slipformed and is now subject to fit out. Jetty works have been finalised and loading arms have been installed. The interconnecting pipework and the installation of the control and instrumentation systems are being completed."

However, nearly identical language has been used in each of the company's reports for at least the past eight years. As of July 2024, the project is considered shelved rather than in construction.
