Background on Project

In November 2014, AKR Corporation announced plans to build a two-unit, 600-MW coal-fired power plant in the Java Integrated Industrial Port Estate (JIIPE) in Gresik, Indonesia. The plant would use German components, and would cost $1.5 billion.

The company was reviewing funding sources and considering the possibility of building the plant as a joint venture. Land acquisition was also being negotiated. The company hoped to move forward with the project with an investor in place in early 2015.

An April 2016 presentation to analysts showed the plant at 660 MW.

As of December 2018 there has been no additional news about this project and it appears to have been cancelled.
