Background
Construction of the plant, which would power the PT Wanxiang nickel smelter, began in October 2020.[3]
In August 2022, Unit 1 became operational. In October 2022, Unit 2 became operational.[4]
As of at least September 2024, Wanxiang Nickel Indonesia planned to expand its operations in Bahomotefe.[5] The expansion would reportedly include two 200 MW coal units.[6]
As of April 2026, no Phase II physical construction progress was visible on Planet imagery.
