In context: how this plant compares

At 1,200 MW, Sumatera Hybrid power station is well above the median coal plant in Indonesia (220 MW). Its current lifecycle status is “Announced” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. 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.
