        "content": "<p>The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) has denied that\nrolling blackouts in the Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi\n(Jabodetabek) areas are due to depleting coal stocks. \u201cThere is no coal\ndepletion,\u201d said ESDM Ministry Spokesperson Dwi Anggia at the ESDM\nMinistry Office in Jakarta on Thursday. Anggia stated that the rolling\nblackouts in the Jabodetabek area were caused by technical disruptions.\nRegarding this issue, Anggia said the government has communicated with\nPLN to anticipate so that such disruptions do not recur. She also\nemphasised that amidst the ongoing Work Plan and Budget (RKAB) process\nfor coal, there are no problems with coal stocks. \u201cMoreover, the\nMinister (ESDM Bahlil Lahadalia) has also clearly conveyed that\nregarding this RKAB, there is a gradual relaxation,\u201d she said. The\nstatement relates to the power outages experienced by residents in parts\nof the Jabodetabek area. The blackouts have been occurring for a week\nwith varying durations. Regarding the rolling blackouts, news emerged\nthat they were caused by a crisis in coal supply to meet the needs of\nsteam power plants (PLTU). For coal supply, Minister of Energy and\nMineral Resources Bahlil Lahadalia stated that the government will\nimpose a relaxation of coal production quotas following the rise in\ncommodity prices due to the war between the United States (US) and\nIsrael with Iran.<\/p>",
