Background
Units 1 & 2
Work on the Parit Baru project began in 2010 and completion was initially targeted for 2012.[2] It was the first coal plant EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) contract undertaken by a joint venture comprising Gazhouba Group in Indonesia (a subsidiary of China Energy Engineering Corporation) and PT Praba Indopersada (a subsidiary of general contractor firm Praba Group of Indonesia).[3] In May 2011 it was estimated that the project would cost US$172 million. The project is 85% financed by the Export-Import Bank of China.[4] The joint venture between the two companies was formalized in a memorandum of understanding at the conclusion of a three day visit to Indonesia by Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao. On the trip Jiabao pledged $19 billion in investment and loans to a range of projects in Indonesia.[3][5]
In March 2013, 78 Chinese-national workers at the Parit Baru construction site were threatened with deportation for lacking proper work authorization.[6] Hundreds of Chinese workers were repatriated in 2013.[2] According to the 2015-2024 PT PLN supply plant, Parit Baru 1 and 2 will be completed in 2016.[7] However, in November 2016 it was reported that construction on the units had been delayed.[8]
In September 2013, construction resumed on the project.[9] The project faces the South China sea in the west and is adjacent to the Pontianak-Singkawang provincial highway. It occupies 40 hectares. According to the contract, construction will be completed in 33 months.[9] In November 2016, the Operations and Construction Manager of PT PLN West Kalimantan Development Master Unit, I Wayan Semudiarsa, said that the Parit Baru project was experiencing financial difficulties and progress was slow.[10]
In March 2017, President Joko Widodo stated that after seven years the legal problems that had delayed the plant were resolved and the plant was moving toward completion.[11]
In June 2018 Unit 1 was commissioned.[12]
The long-range plan for 2019-2028 lists 100 MW from Parit Baru FTP1 being commissioned in 2019, and 50 MW from Parit Baru FTP2 in 2019.[13] Unit 2 was commissioned in August 2019.[14]
Units 3 & 4
The project has since been expanded by two additional 50-MW coal-fired units, listed as scheduled to be completed in 2017-18.[5] As of April 2016, these units had not yet begun construction, as shown by Google Earth archival imagery. According to the 2015-2024 PT PLN supply plant, Parit Baru Units 3 and 4 will be completed in 2017 and 2018 respectively.[7]
