Background

PT.GH EMM Indonesia is a joint venture between National Energy Investment Group (70%) and PT Energy Musi Makmur (30%) that was incorporated on March 11, 2008, for the construction of a 2 x 150 MW coal plant in Muara Enim County, South Sumatra. The power plant is about 3 km away from Dangku coalfield and is fueled by an opencast coal mine. Construction began in July 2009 and was completed in 2011.[3] The power station reportedly began operating in 2013.[4]

In June 2021, the power station won an award for "Longest Continuous Operation of Coal Power Units", apparently breaking the previous World Record held by an Australian company.[5]

In June 2025, a tender was announced for maintenance work at Shenhua Guohua power station.[6]
