Ownership Tree
This ownership tree is part of the Global Energy Ownership Tracker, a project of Global Energy Monitor.
Background
The Tanjung Kasam power station went into operation in 2012.[2] Parent ownership of the power station was shared by PT Petra Unggul Sejahtera (70%) and INTRA (30%).[3]
In November 2021, power station operators announced that Tanjung Kasam would be retired no later than 2045, shuttering in favor of renewable energy alternatives. It was also stated that the power station's current contract was for 25 years, and the units could potentially be retired when that time was up (presumably 2037).[4]
In June 2023, a pipe leak at the power station caused a temporary power outage.[5]
In July 2024, an engine failure at the power station caused a temporary power outage.[6]
Opposition
It was reported by the Jakarta Post in February 2013 that, "Around 300 residents of Batam, Riau Islands, have rallied to shut down the Tanjung Kasam steam-powered electricity plant (PLTU) until state-owned electricity company PT PLN stops it from pouring ash onto their homes. The residents of Telaga Punggur subdistrict in Nongsa have complained of respiratory and skin ailments due to ash from the plant since the Tanjung Kasam PLTU started operations at the end of 2012." The residents were halted by local police as they approached plant managers on January 2, 2013 to demand the plant be shut down.[2]
Financing
In 2008, the project was financed by China Ex-Im Bank for US$150 million.[7][8]
Secure medium-term coal supply
In February 2026, PT PLN Batam announced an open tender for the medium-term procurement of coal to supply its Tanjung Kasam power station.[9]
