Location
The undated satellite photo below shows the plant, in Labuhan Angin Village, Tapian Nauli District, Central Tapanuli (Tapanuli Tengah) Regency, North Sumatra Province.
Background on Plant
The two-unit, 230-MW Labuhan Angin power station began commercial operations in 2008. The plant is owned by PLN. The project was funded by a Chinese government, details of which are conflicting but mostly in the range of US$180 - US$200 million.[1][2][3][4]
Coal is received through the Labuhan Angin coal terminal.[5]
Environmental impact
In April 2017 it was reported that pollution from the plant was causing an increase in respiratory diseases among nearby villagers and a decrease in local fish populations. The Director of the Legal Aid Consultation Institute (LKBH), Adv Parlaungan Silalahi, said these problems could be grounds for a lawsuit under Environmental Law Number 32 of 2009.[6] In August 2018 an aerial view of the plant found the water in Sibolga Bay to be black with pollution. PT PLN Persero has argued against requirements for more waste to be transported away from the plant, which Chairman of North Sumatra DPRD Commission D Ari Wibowo said may be related to this pollution.[7]
Details of Expansion
According to Platts WEPP, an additional 115 MW unit is currently in the planning stage. However, there are no public reports on this project, and it appears to be abandoned.[8]
