        "content": "<p>Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Bahlil Lahadalia\nreported on the national energy supply condition and strategic steps to\nmaintain the service stability of state electricity company PT PLN\n(Persero) to President Prabowo Subianto. The report was delivered\nfollowing electricity disruptions that had occurred in several regions\nof Indonesia.<\/p>\n<p>The meeting, held at the Presidential Palace Complex in Jakarta on\nMonday (22\/6), focused on identifying the main issues affecting power\nplant operations. Bahlil emphasised that the government is committed to\nproviding certainty of electricity services to the public.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe discussed the sustainability of government service stability,\nPLN\u2019s service to the community, particularly regarding electricity,\u201d\nBahlil said after the meeting.<\/p>\n<p>Bahlil revealed two main issues of serious concern. First,\nconstraints in the operation of Gas-Fired Power Plants (PLTG). Second,\nchallenges in meeting the need for medium-calorie coal, which is crucial\nfor the fuel blending process at power plants.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding coal supply, Bahlil explained that PLN\u2019s annual requirement\nreaches 154 million tonnes. The ESDM Ministry has assigned mining\ncompanies a supply quota of 180 million to 190 million tonnes per year\nto guarantee stock security.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe amount already contracted by PLN is 134 million tonnes.\nActually, with a contract with business owners of 134 million tonnes for\none year, and it is only June now, there should be no issue,\u201d he\nclarified.<\/p>\n<p>However, he underscored that the current problem is not the total\nvolume, but the availability of the specific calorie specification. The\ngovernment has taken intervention steps to help PLN obtain\nmedium-calorie coal so that plant operations remain optimally\nmaintained.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to fuel matters, the Energy Minister also instructed PLN\nto accelerate maintenance schedules for electricity facilities across\nall regions. This preventive measure is deemed urgent to enhance system\nreliability and prevent similar service disruptions in the future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are asking PLN to immediately carry out maintenance to truly\nprovide service certainty to the public,\u201d Bahlil concluded.<\/p>",
