Background

Cilacap power station is a two-unit coal-fired power plant with a total capacity of 600 MW in Central Java Province. The plant began operating in 2006.[1] The Cilacap Sumber power station was the first large-scale Indonesian power plant completed since the country's 1997-98 financial crisis.[2]

The plant is owned by PT Sumber Segara Primadaya (S2P), which is owned by PT Sumberenergi Sakti Prima (SSP) (51%) and PT PLN subsidiary PT Pembangkitan Jawa-Bali (PJB) (49%). The plant's construction cost $501 million. The plant's operator is PT Segara Sumber Prima.[3][4]

Description of Unit 3 (660 MW) and Unit 4 (1000 MW) Expansion

In April 2013, the sponsors secured a $700 million loan from the China Development Bank to fund the construction of Unit 3, described as a 660 MW unit. At that time, the company expected to begin construction within 3-6 months.[5][1]

In December 2014, with construction of Unit 3 scheduled to be completed by the end of 2016, Indonesian government authorities stated that they were urging the plant's owners to accelerate the construction of both the plant and the transmission lines so that it could come online by the end of 2015, in order to help mitigate the looming Java power crisis.[6]

Unit 3 was completed and began commercial operations in June 2016.[7]

In June 2015, it was reported that PT Sumber Segara Primadaya had signed an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) agreement with Chengda Engineering Company of Chengdu, China. Under the contract, construction of Unit 4 would be completed by 2018. According to the report, the size of the project was 1,000 MW.[8]

In November 2015, PT PLN signed a power purchase agreement for Unit 4, which was reported to be targeted for 2020 operations.[9]

Cilicap Sumber power station Unit 4 is also known as Jawa-8.[10]

Unit 4 entered construction in October 2016. Cost is estimated at US$1.389 billion.[11] In the 2018-2027 RUPTL, Unit 4 was listed as being 945 MW.[12] In November 2018 PLN stated that Unit 4 would be completely built by October 2019.[13]

The government's long-range plan for 2019-2028 lists a completion date of 2020 for Unit 4.[14] Unit 4 was commissioned in October 2019.[15] Unit 4 generates a total of 1,000 MW. It is sometimes described as 945 MW because 55 MW is used to power the Cilacap Sumber plant itself.[15]
