Background on Plant
The Meubolah power station is a two-unit, 220-MW coal-fired power plant in Aceh Province, Indonesia, owned by PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PT PLN). This project was originally referred to as the Meulaboh project.
In 2009 it was reported that the Meulaboh project would be financed by the Bank of China.[1] However, in 2012 it was reported that the Meulaboh power plant was one of six projects that would be financed via a US$10.09 billion investment by Japan's Sumitomo Corporation: Central Java Power Project (worth US$2.5 billion), a geothermal power plant in Raja Basa (US$650 million), Indramayu power plant (US$1.25 billion), Meulaboh power plant (US$700 million ), a gas storage project (US$4 billion), and the interconnection system between Jawa and Sumatra (US$1.25 billion).[2][3][4][5]
Unit 1 was completed in 2013, and Unit 2 in 2014.[6]
Funding (Units 1 and 2)
The Export-Import Bank of China lent PLN US$124 million for the 220 MW power station.[7]
Description of Expansion (Units 3 and 4)
In April 2015, Jokowi Center coordinator in Aceh, Teuku Neta Firdaus said that PLN is planning to build two additional coal-fired units, with a total capacity of 200 MW.[8] The 2016-2025 long range plan for PT PLN (page 223) includes Nagan Raya #3 as a 2 x 200 MW project in the "pengadaan" (procurement) stage, with completion in 2019 and 2020.[9]
Although the new units are referred to as Units 3 and 4, they will not necessarily be located at or near Units 1 and 2. As of October 2016, it remained unclear whether Units 3 and 4 would be located in Meulaboh, West Aceh, or Nagan Raya.[10]
In May 2017, PT PLN signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with China Datang Overseas Investment, PT Pembangunan Perumahan, and PT Sumberdaya Sewatama for the 2 x 200 MW expansion. The consortium will set up a special purpose vehicle (SPV) to develop the plant through a build, own, operate, and transfer (BOOT) scheme without guarantee. The plant's commercial operation data (COD) will be mid-2020.[11]
Opposition
In May 2019 residents staged a protest and put up a fence that halted work on the Nagan Raya 3 and Nagan Raya 4 site.[12] In November 2019 a group of mothers from the village of Suak Puntong created a roadblock in protest of the dust and coal dust from the plant polluting their neighborhoods.[13]
Environmental impact
In May 2019 it was reported that chemicals discharged from the plant were killing fish in waterways in Gelanggang Merak Hamlet and Suak Puntong Village.[14]
