BlackGold Natural Resources’ subsidiary PT Samantaka Batubara (PT SB) has entered a conditional term sheet with China Huadian Engineering for the joint development of two new 300MW coal-fired power plants in Riau province, Indonesia.
The deal also includes the construction, operation, and maintenance of the Riau-1 Project. The latest agreement follows a deal that was announced in December 2015 when BlackGold signed a consortium agreement with China Huadian to provide electric power to Indonesia’s state-run power distribution company PT PLN (Persero).
