Background

The plant appears in the 2018-2027 long-range plan (RUPTL) as an IPP, or private, independent power project. PT PLN Persero has stated that it would be a mine-mouth power plant. In the 2019-2028 long-range plan it is changed to a 2 x 200 MW plant scheduled for 2023/2024.

In the RUPTL for 2021-2030, the proposal appeared to be replaced by plans for a gas-fired project. The power station was therefore presumed to be shelved.

In October 2023, with no indication that the coal-fired units were being developed further, Sulbagsel-1 power station was presumed to be cancelled as a coal plant.
