Background
Paiton-3 power station is a single-unit, 825-MW coal plant commissioned in 2012 in East Java, Indonesia.[1][2][3]
International Power has a 31% share in the project. In its 2009 annual report International Power, a 31% shareholder in the project, stated that "in March 2010 we signed the US$1,215 million financing for the 815MW coal-fired Paiton 3 plant in Indonesia, which will be located within the existing Paiton complex. The project, has a 30-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with PT PLN, the Indonesian state utility, and construction is covered by a fixed price contract with the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd."[1]
Paiton-3 is part of the 4,945-MW Paiton coal-fired power complex, including the two-unit, 800-MW PLN Paiton plant, owned by PLN; the two-unit, 1,340-MW Paiton-1 plant, owned by GDF Suez; the two-unit, 1,320-MW Paiton-2 plant, owned by Siemens AG and YTL Corporation; and the single-unit, 660-MW PLN Paiton Baru plant, also owned by PLN.
Environmental Impact
In May 2017 it was reported that the Paiton power complex produces the largest amount of Hazardous and Toxic B3 waste of any facility in East Java, 153 million tonnes a year, a figure that represents 80% of the annual total of 170 million tonnes for East Java.[4] B3 waste is defined by Government Regulation 19 of 1994 as "any waste containing dangerous and/or toxic material, which due to its characteristics and/or concentration and/or amount, either directly or indirectly, may damage and/or pollute the living environment and/or endanger human health."[5]
