Background
The Teluk Sirih power station is a two-unit, 224-MW, coal-fired power station that became operational in 2013. The plant is owned by PLN.[1][2]
The power station was financed by US$138 million in debt from China Development Bank and US$36,767,696 in debt from Association of Regional Banks (Asbanda).[3][4]
In January 2022, there was a report of a fire at the station that burned for four hours.[5]
In August 2022, PLN was collaborating with Padang City Environment and Forestry Service to research co-firing refuse-derived fuel at the power station.[6]
In April 2023, the power station was identified by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources as a potential candidate for early retirement.[7]
In October 2023, the Government of West Sumatra stated that they planned to retire Ombilin power station in 2060.[8]
Environmental impact
In March 2018, dozens of sea turtles became trapped in the plant's water intake valves due to the plant's failure to install a buffer zone between the valve and the ocean.[9]
In August 2023, residents complained of excessive, daily black and brown smoke emitted by Teluk Sirih power station.[10]
