Background on Plant
In the 2015-2024 PLN long-range supply plan, Bengkulu power station is proposed for 2019.[1]
In the second quarter of 2015 China's state-owned Power Construction Corporation of China (PowerChina) won the project in an international competitive bidding and secured the power purchase agreement (PPA) with PLN in November 2015. The US$360 million plant is under a contract of 25-year Build-Own-Operate-Transfer (BOOT) model. It is owned by PowerTenaga Listrik Bengkulu (TLB), a joint venture between PowerChina (70%) and PT Intraco Penta (30%). In October 2016, the project began construction.[2]
Financial close was reached in June 2017, with the Industrial & Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) and the Export-Import Bank of China providing financial services for the project. Construction of the plant is reportedly in "full swing", and it is planned for commissioning in 2020.[3] The 2018-2027 long-range plan gives a completion date of 2019 for Unit 1 and 2020 for Unit 2.[4] In December 2019 it was reported that the plant would be commissioned in Q1 2020.[5]
Opposition
In May 2018 a number of farmers in Bengkulu city expressed opposition to the plant because its construction was damming a stream and causing their land to flood.[6] In August 2018 dozens of residents of Bengkulu City held a demonstration in opposition to the plant.[7]
