Jawa-5 power station is a proposed 2,000-megawatt (MW) coal-fired power in West Java Province, Indonesia.

Location
PLN's map shows both the Jawa-5 and Jawa-6 power stations being located in Muara Gembong District, in Bekasi Regency, West Java Province.
Some sources have located the plant in Banten Regency, on the far west end of Java.
Background on Plant
PLN's 2014 long-range plan shows the development of Jawa-5 and Jawa-6 coal-fired power plants, totaling four 1,000-MW coal-fired units, being built in West Java Province. The project is shown on a map contained in PLN's long-range plan, which shows it located near the Babalam. In the plan, the four units are scheduled for completion in 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021.[1]
In October 2014, PLN announced that it was preparing tender documents for construction contractors for Jawa-5, as well as for Jawa-7. The project would cost $3 billion, and PLN is hoping for completion in 2020. The land acquisition process was still in progress at that time. PLN hoped to find investors once it had the contractor nailed down.[2] In March 2015, PLN announced that six firms had expressed interest in construction, and that it would choose a contractor within three months.[3]
In late March 2016, the IPP bidding competition for Java-5 had narrowed to three IPPs, of which only two were eligible to be evaluated: a Chinese consortium of undisclosed identity and an Indonesian consortium.[4]
On April 18, 2016, independent consultant PT Ernst and Young Indonesia announced to the bidders without explanation that the bidding process was discontinued.[5]
In April 2017, Director for Procurement of PLN Supangkat Iwan said that the project will not be carried forward due to lower than expected economic growth.[6]
The project did not appear in the government's long-term plan for 2018-2027, but reappeared in the 2019-2028 long-term plan as a 1,000-MW plant with a completion date of 2023.[7]
Financing
In September 2015 state-run builder Wijaya Karya (WIKA) said the company would likely request a credit facility from China Development Bank (CDB) to fund development of the Jawa-5 power station and Jawa-7 power station. WIKA said it would work with China Nuclear Group Engineering Corporation (CNEC) and a local firm, Sumber Segara Primadaya, for the Java plants.[8]
