Background
The current plant was built in two phases, each comprising two 660 MW units. A third phase of two 660 MW units is planned. The project owner, PT Central Java Power (owned by Sumitomo) has executed a finance lease agreement with PT PLN as the lessee. When the lease period expires the assets will be transferred to PT PLN.

Phase I (Units 1 and 2): 2 x 660 MW
The first phase went through long history of development before finally being commissioned in 2006. The website "Power Plants Around the World" describes the story as follows:
 * " Tanjung Jati-B was proposed by Hopewell Holdings and initially bid as an IPP in June 1994. A PPA with PLN followed in September 1994. The EPC contract was signed in September 1995 and site work started on 15 April 1997. The Asian financial crisis combined with allegations about mismanagement of the PPA terms led to Hopewell withdrawing, leaving the project about one-third complete. Sumitomo renegotiated the development as a leasing scheme and construction resumed in September 2003 with financing from JBIC. The 5-year project suspension led to parts and equipment being stored onsite and at 75 locations worldwide."

Phase II (Units 3 and 4): 2 x 660 MW
Unit 3 was commissioned in November 2011 and Unit 4 was commissioned in January 2012

Phase III (Units 5 and 6): 2 x 660 MW
A third phase has been proposed but no specific plans have been announced.
