Background on Plant

This project is mentioned on Table 13 of the 2015-2024 PT PLN long range supply plan, scheduled for 2019 and 2020. It comprises two units of 100 MW each.

A PT PLN September 2015 list of companies interested in mine-mouth IPP plants showed several companies expressing interest in Kalselteng-3, including PT Katingan Ria, PT Korindo, PT Golden Energy Mines, PT Metro Energy, PT PJB Dan and PT Prima Multi Artha, Jhonlin Energi Kalimanta, and PT Pandu Adidaya.

In August 2016 PT PLN said it would put the Kalselteng-3 plant out for tender, with the selected Project Sponsor intended to develop, finance, construct and operate the Project on a Build-Own-Operate-Transfer (BOOT) basis.

In the 2017-2026 long-range plan, three power plants are rescheduled to 2021-2022, with a note that the plants are being reframed as mine-mouth power plants. The goal is to achieve greater economies. The plant does not appear in the 2018-2027 long-range plan. The long-range plan for 2019-2028 reschedules the two units for 2024/2025. PLN has assigned responsibility for developing the plant to its subsidiary Pembangkitan Jawa Bali Investasi (PJBI).
