        "summary": "Indonesia's Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) has recorded seawater utilisation of around 24 billion cubic metres annually across sectors such as power generation, aquaculture and salt production. The ministry stresses that large-scale, continuous seawater use requires proper standards and oversight, making permits for non-energy seawater utilisation a key compliance instrument. State-owned PT PLN Nusantara Power has become the first company within the PLN group to secure such permits for 16 of its power plants.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP)\nhas recorded that seawater utilisation, excluding energy, reaches around\n24 billion cubic metres per year across various sectors in\nIndonesia.<\/p>\n<p>Director General of Marine Management at KKP, Koswara, said in an\nofficial statement in Jakarta on Wednesday that the seawater utilisation\ncovers a number of sectors, including power generation, aquaculture,\nsalt production, oil palm, the chemical industry and drinking water\nenterprises.<\/p>\n<p>He said the electricity sector is one of the large-scale users of\nseawater because the majority of thermal power plants are located in\ncoastal areas. Seawater is generally used as cooling water for\ncondensers as well as raw material for desalination installations to\nproduce process water and clean water for the operational needs of power\nplants.<\/p>\n<p>Koswara said that large-volume and continuous seawater utilisation\nneeds to be managed with proper standards and supervision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTherefore, compliance with permits for the utilisation of seawater\nother than energy (ALSE) is an important instrument to ensure that\neconomic and ecological aspects go hand in hand,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The ALSE utilisation permit is a business licence that must be held\nby business actors who extract and utilise seawater, whether for their\nown use or for resale.<\/p>\n<p>This obligation is regulated in Government Regulation Number 28 of\n2025 concerning the Implementation of Risk-Based Business Licensing in\nAnnex 1A along with its implementing regulations.<\/p>\n<p>As part of fulfilling these provisions, PT PLN Nusantara Power (PLN\nNP) has obtained ALSE utilisation permits for 16 power plants it\nmanages.<\/p>\n<p>Director of Marine Resources at KKP, Frista Yorhanita, said PLN NP is\nthe first company within the PLN group to obtain an ALSE utilisation\npermit.<\/p>\n<p>According to her, this step serves as an example of compliance by\nstrategic industries with regulations in the marine sector.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis standardisation is not intended to hinder business activities,\nbut to ensure that seawater utilisation is carried out responsibly,\nmeasurably, and with due regard to carrying capacity and environmental\nsustainability,\u201d she said.<\/p>",
