Coal blending testing of medium rank coal (MRC) and low-rank coal (LRC) in the Pacitan power plant with pulverized boiler type was conducted to increase the use of readily available coal. It was necessary to ensure the impact of the blending coal on the boiler performance. Therefore, this study was aimed to examine the performance of the plant. There were two coal blending configurations in testing; a) Combo #1: 75% of LRC and 25% MRC; b) Combo #2: 60% of LRC and 40% MRC. Each combination was held in 4 schemes of load at 165 MW, 210 MW, 255 MW, and 300 MW. Heat rate calculation was determined with the heat loss method (energy balanced approach). As a result, compared to the commissioning test (2,270 kCal/kWh), the power plant performance decreased. The performance of combo #1 obtained 2,517 kcal/kWh; meanwhile, combo #2‘s performance showed 2,360 kcal/kWh.
