Background
Sulut-3 power station comprises two 50 MW units, originally scheduled for commercial operation by 2020.[1] A tender for the project was launched in September 2015.[2]
In April 2017, it was reported that PT Minahasa Cahaya Lestari (MCL) is planning to build the plant. MCL is a joint venture of PT Toba Bara Sejahtra Tbk (90%) and China's Sinohydro (10%). MCL has signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with PLN. MCL plans to spend US$215 million or Rp2.79 trillion to develop the power plant as well as a 7-km transmission line. It is planned for Kema I village in Kema district.[3] Sinohydro served as the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contractor for the project.[4]
Unit 1 of the Sulut-3 power station began commercial operation in February 2021. In May 2021, it was reported that construction on the Sulut-3 power station had reached 97%.[5] Unit 2 was commissioned in July 2021.[6]
In July 2022, a temporary grid outage took place after a disruption occurred at the Sulut-3 power station.[7]
As of June 2023, PT Toba Bara Sejahtra Tbk had a stated goal to reach carbon neutrality by 2030.[8]
Financing
In August 2018, a representative of PT Toba Bara Sejahtra said the company was trying to achieve financial close of the project by the end of 2018.[9] In December 2018, the sponsor obtained a US$168 million loan from Bank Mandiri and Sarana Multi Infrastructure (SMI) to develop the project, and construction had begun as of February 2019.[10][11]
