Background

In October 2015 China’s Qingdao Hengshun Zhongsheng Group held a groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of a 2 x 65 MW coal-fired plant at the Hengshun Zhongsheng Indonesia Industrial Park in Morowali, Indonesia. A geological survey conducted in December 2014 had found the site to be unsuitable for building a power plant.

With no progress on the project in more than four years, it appears to be cancelled.
