Bangka-1 power station is a 400 MW coal power station in Bangka Belitung Islands, Indonesia. It is operated by PT PLN (Persero) [100%]. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 501k homes (estimated). It ranks #104 of 401 Indonesia power plants by installed capacity. In context, coal supplies about 61.5% of Indonesia's electricity; the national grid averages 680 gCO₂/kWh (18.1% low-carbon) (2024).

At 400 MW, Bangka-1 power station is well above the median coal plant in Indonesia (220 MW). Technically it is described as subcritical. Coal plants burn pulverised coal to raise high-pressure steam for a turbine; they run as baseload but are the most carbon-intensive mainstream source and the first targeted for retirement or efficiency retrofits.

This coal plant burns coal to raise high-pressure steam that spins a turbine-generator. It sits in a tropical rainforest climate (Köppen Af) — Southern Hemisphere, latitude 2.1°S — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
