The financing comes at a time when Indonesia is striving to reduce coal consumption and transition to renewable energy

Bank Mandiri – the latgest state-owned lender in Indonesia – announced on Monday (Sep 30) that it has provided US$1.27 billion in investment credit financing for a new coal-fired power plant project in South Sumatra.

The project is co-owned by Chinese asset management and financing platform Huadian Overseas Investment and Indonesian coal mining company Bukit Asam.

Indonesia’s Minister of State-Owned Enterprises Erick Thohir, who attended a signing ceremony on Monday together with Bank Mandiri president-director Darmawan Djunaidi, hailed the financing as a means to foster positive competition and strengthen the supply chain within the country’s industrial sector.
