Tanjung Jati A power station

Tanjung Jati A power station is a proposed 1320-megawatt (MW) coal-fired power station in Central Java, Indonesia.

Location
According to a 1999 report, the project will be built adjacent to the Tanjung Jati B power station, which is shown in the photograph below.

Background on Plant
Tanjung Jati A power station was originally proposed in the 1990s, but the project was put on hold. In its first configuration, Bakrie Power owned 20% and Maharani Paramitra, which is controlled by former president Soeharto's second eldest daughter, Siti Hediati Herijadi Prabowo, also owned 20%. The remaining 60% of shares were equally held by Britain's National Power and Japan's Tomen Power. In 2011, it was reported that the project was being revived, this time in partnership with Korean rather than Japanese companies. The Insider Story, a financial blog, described the new configuration as follows:
 * According to recent reports, the project has been restarted. PT Bakrie & Brothers Tbk (BNBR), parent company of Bakrie family, plans to revive its unfinished steam-fire power plant project Tanjung Jati A with capacity of 2x600 MW. Since 1996, Tanjung Jati A projct has been initiated by Bakrie's subsidiary PT Bakrie Power which won the project with a consortium of PT Tanjung Jati Power Company. Besides Bakrie Power, the consortium's members were PT Maharani Paramitra, Tomen Power Corporation, and International Power. However, several members of the consortium left behind Bakrie Power.
 * "If we stay with Japanese strategic partners, we will have difficulty as they ask the project to use imported components from Japan," said Bakrie & Brothers President Director Bobby Gafur Umar, as quoted by Kontan daily today.
 * To revive the project, Bakrie has set a strategic partnership with South Korean company Samsung C&T Corporation. "Tanjung Jati A's investment is about US$2 billion. Bakrie & Brothers will take the majority," he said.
 * Bakrie & Brothers has entered into memorandum of agreement with Samsung in February 2011 after both companies signed memorandum of understanding in October 2010.
