Background
Sulut-1 power station consists of 2 x 50 MW units.[1] The plant will be built in Bindjeta, East Bolangitang District, North Sulawesi.[2]
The long-range plan for 2019-2028 lists the two units coming online in 2021 and 2022.[3] In September 2019 Persero signed contracts for construction of the plant.[4] PT Medco Power Indonesia was awarded the operation and maintenance (O&M) contract. A consortium consisting of Medco Power, PT Inti Karya Persada Tehnik, PT PP Persero Tbk, ITOCHU Corporation, and Sumitomo Heavy Industries, was awarded the engineering, procurement, and construction contract.[5] The EPC contract was worth IDR1.24 trillion (approximately US$88 million).[6]
A June 2021 report from the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis lists a target operation date of 2023/2024 for the Sulut-1 power station.[7] An August 2021 news report, however, stated that progress on the Sulut-1 power station was 22% complete, and that commercial operation was targeted for Q4 2022.[6] As of December 2021 the estimated completion date for Unit 1 was 2023, and for Unit 2 it was 2024.[8]
In June 2022, the target operation for both units was described as "before 2024".[9]
In August 2023, construction was reportedly 85% complete.[10]
In September 2023, the units were undergoing testing. A PLN representative stated that the power station had been developed with a system that could co-fire with another fuel besides coal in the future.[11] At the end of September 2023, construction was reportedly 90% complete, and both units were slated to be commissioned in 2024.[12]
