Adaro Power


AEI’ power business provides captive market for the thermal coal, which subjects to cyclical and volatile market, and capture the opportunities from the government’s strategic program to increase national electricity supply. PT Adaro Power (AP), AEI’s subsidiary leading the power segment, has completed a number of coal-fired power plant (CFPP) projects operated by its subsidiaries PT Makmur Sejahtera Wisesa (MSW), PT Tanjung Power Indonesia (TPI), and PT Bhimasena Power Indonesia (BPI). AP currently also has an important role in Adaro’s transformation to green business through participation in various renewable projects, i. e. the solar PV and battery energy storage system (BESS) in Kelanis, Central Kalimantan, wind turbines and BESS in Tanah Laut, South Kalimantan, and mini hydropower plant in Lampunut, Central Kalimantan.

 

PT MAKMUR SEJAHTERA WISESA (MSW)

MSW marks AEI’s first downstream step to the power sector in 2013. MSW built, owns and operates AEI’s first power plant of 2x30 MW capacity in Tabalong, South Kalimantan, which supplies power for Adaro Indonesia (AI)’s operations. MSW power plant uses circulating fluidized bed (CFB) suitable for high-moisture coal combustion like AI’s E4000 product because it can reduce nitrogen oxide emission due to low combustion temperature and the use of electrostatic precipitator for eliminating ash emission.

In 2022, MSW continued the electrification program for Adaro Indonesia’s mines by adding the pumps to 76 units, which will be continuously increased to 143 units by the end of 2023. In the same year, MSW produced 90,736 MWH of power and achieved 90.6% actual availability factor.

MSW also continued to operate and maintain power for AEI’s subsidiary PT Indonesia Bulk Terminal (IBT), recording electricity supply of 6,797 MWh for IBT’s operations in 2022.    

While MSW’s operations substantially consume AI’s coal to produce power, in 2021, the company started the pilot project to add biomass for co-firing. This carbon emission reduction initiative was continued in 2022, with 5 tonnes per day biomass used in cofiring, or approximately 2% of MSW’s daily coal consumption and equivalent to 739 tonnes CO2 reduction.

 

PT TANJUNG POWER INDONESIA (TPI)

PT Tanjung Power Indonesia (TPI) is a consortium company between AP (65%) and PT EWP Indonesia (35%), a subsidiary of Korea East-West Power Co Ltd., which built and operates 2x100 MW CFPP in Tabalong, South Kalimantan, to sell power to PLN under power purchase agreement of 25 years since the commercial operation date. In 2022 or the third year of operations, TPI achieved actual average availability factor 89.71% out of the 82.5% target, and produced 1,214,214 MWH power for PLN Kalimantan. 

 

PT BHIMASENA POWER INDONESIA (BPI)

The consortium of AP, Electric Power Development Co.Ltd. (J-Power) and Itochu Corporation established PT Bhimasena Power Indonesia (BPI) in 2011 to build 2x1,000 MW CFPP in Batang, Central Java (PLTU Batang), as one of the first and the largest CFPPs in Southeast Asia to use the ultra-supercritical (USC) boiler technology. BPI achieved financial close in June 2016 with total project cost of around $4.2 billion, and received the project funding commitment of around $3.4 billion from Japan Bank for International Cooperation and several commercial financial institutions. BPI has a power purchase agreement with PLN for a period of 25 years, the first public private partnership realized under the guarantee of Indonesia Infrastructure Guarantee Fund (IIGF) and a part of the Masterplan for the Acceleration and Expansion of Economic Development of Indonesia.

On August 15, 2022, BPI achieved the COD for Unit 1, followed by the COD for Unit 2 on August 31, 2022. Since COD until the end of 2022, the two units recorded actual average availability factor of 86.45% and produced 4,312 GWH of power for PLN Jawa Bali. During the power purchase agreement period, the company will supply power to PLN for covering Java and Bali islands.
