Where is the stalled electricity project located?

President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) stated that there are 34 stalled power plant projects. Some of them have been halted since 2007. The total capacity of these 34 plants reaches 627.8 Megawatts (MW). Most of these stalled projects are located in remote and inaccessible areas. The largest number are in Sulawesi and Nusa Tenggara (14 projects) and Kalimantan (10 projects). The rest are spread across Maluku, Papua, and Sumatra. These stalled power plants are part of the Fast Tracking Project from 2007-2011.

Of the 34 projects, 17 are being continued by the previous contractors with a capacity of 320.2 MW, 6 projects have been taken over by PLN (state electricity company) with a capacity of 160.6 MW, and 11 other projects have been stopped with a capacity of 147 MW. The President advised caution when continuing stalled power plant projects. He emphasized that two conditions must be met: the legal issues must be resolved, and the projects must be built to the desired quality.
