Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia \u2013 MIND ID, the state-owned mining holding\ncompany, has affirmed its position in supporting the implementation of\nthe National Energy Policy (KEN) as updated through Government\nRegulation (PP) No.\u00a040 of 2025.<\/p>\n
MIND ID Chief Executive Officer Maroef Sjamsoeddin stated that MIND\nID\u2019s role extends beyond merely managing natural resources, but rather\nensures their integrated management to strengthen energy security and\nsupport both domestic and global industrial supply chains.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe view natural resources as a foundation for national prosperity,\nstrengthening domestic industry, and contributing to national\nsovereignty and global needs through Indonesia for the world,\u201d Maroef\nsaid during the Seminar and Socialisation of Government Regulation\nNo.\u00a040 of 2025 on National Energy Policy in Jakarta on Friday (27\nFebruary 2026).<\/p>\n
Maroef outlined three primary objectives within the updated KEN\nthrough PP 40 of 2025. The first is energy security. In this regard,\nMIND ID through PT Bukit Asam Tbk (PTBA) holds coal mining areas\nspanning 65,632 hectares, with resources of 5.72 billion tonnes and\nreserves of 2.88 billion tonnes.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis means energy must always be available, secure, uninterrupted,\nand maintain stable pricing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The second objective concerns meeting energy demand, ensuring\nsufficient energy availability to support economic and industrial growth\nwhilst meeting public needs. Through PTBA, MIND ID continues efforts to\nincrease coal production capacity annually.<\/p>\n
\u201cBukit Asam is constructing Coal Handling Facility (CHF) and Train\nLoading Station (TLS) 6-7 to increase transport capacity by 20 million\ntonnes per year, with Bukit Asam\u2019s coal production capacity rising from\n43 million tonnes per year to over 60 million tonnes per year,\u201d he\nstated.<\/p>\n
The third objective involves achieving decarbonisation and energy\ntransition, requiring domestic energy to become progressively cleaner,\nlower-emission, and achieve net zero by 2060.<\/p>\n
Maroef revealed that MIND ID Group\u2019s total energy consumption stands\nat approximately 46 million gigajoules, with renewable energy comprising\n39% of usage derived from hydroelectric and solar installations.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will continue to promote renewable energy use across all MIND ID\nGroup member operations,\u201d Maroef said.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, National Energy Council (DEN) Member Satya Widya Yudha\nunderscored the importance of close collaboration between policymakers\nand industry stakeholders, particularly in overseeing implementation of\nthe National Energy Policy as outlined in Government Regulation No.\u00a040\nof 2025.<\/p>\n
According to Satya, the meeting with industry stakeholders represents\nan initial opportunity for the newly sworn-in DEN members following\ntheir appointment by the President weeks earlier.<\/p>\n
Satya emphasised industry\u2019s significant role, as the sector alongside\ntransportation represents the largest contributor to national energy\ndemand and a significant source of carbon emissions.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf these two sectors can reduce their emission intensity, their\ncontribution to lowering national emissions will be substantial.\nConversely, strengthening industry and transportation also remains\nessential for creating new economic growth,\u201d Satya noted.<\/p>\n
\u201cTherefore, as policymakers and as implementers of policy, there\nshould be no disconnect between us,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/mind-id-affirms-strategic-role-in-supporting-national-energy-policy-1772204501", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
