Kaltim-6 power station is a 200 MW coal power station in East Kalimantan, Indonesia. It is operated by to be determined [100%]. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 250k homes (estimated). It ranks #189 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 200 MW, Kaltim-6 power station is around 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) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 1.2°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
