Background on Plant

PLN is currently building a two-unit coal-fired power plant with a total planned capacity of 120 MW in Central Kalimantan Province. The construction contract was awarded back in January 2008, to a consortium consisting of China National Heavy Machinery Corporation, Shandong Electric Power Group (a subsidiary of Shandong Energy), and Mega Power Mandiri.

As of October 2014, construction was 83% complete. The plant is scheduled to be completed in May 2015.

Although the plant is almost complete, land claims for the site are apparently still in dispute.

In June 2015, workers from the plant were in training for plant operations, and startup appeared to be imminent.
