Background
PEL Power received environmental clearance for the 1,050 MW coal-fired power station in 2010. According to PEL Power's website, the three units have a planned commissioning date by the end of 2015.[2]
The project reported the following steps toward development:[2]
- Indigenous Coal linkage in place.
- FSA for Indonesian Coal under finalization.
- Captive Jetty for Coal.
- Tender Documents under finalization.
- Bids for Jetty, External CHP and Intake/Outfall System will be floated.
- Drawal of sea water as approved by TNMB.
The company solicited bids in 2010.[3] However, as of April 2015 there is no evidence that the project has progressed since late 2010, and it appears that it has been abandoned.
