The EPC contract was signed in Sep 1995 and site work started on 15 Apr 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 Sep 2003 with financing from JBIC. The 5yr project suspension led to parts and equipment being stored onsite and at 75 locations worldwide. B&W supplied cold-side ESPs and a wet limestone FGD system using seawater makeup. The APC systems exhaust through a 240m stack. Coal is received at a 1,368m jetty equipped with two 1,500 tph unloaders built by PT Decorient Indonesia and Interbeton bv. The plant cost $904mn. PT Central Jawa Power is a 100% Sumitomo subsidiary.
