        "summary": "State electricity firm PLN has confirmed that rolling blackouts across Java's power grid ceased on 21 June 2026. The company is bolstering system reliability with an additional 1.8 million tonnes of medium-to-high calorie coal for July, followed by 3 million tonnes monthly from August to December. These measures, directed by the Energy Ministry, aim to prevent future disruptions and add 5 GW of supply capacity.",
        "content": "<p>The President Director of PT PLN (Persero), Darmawan Prasodjo, has\nensured that there will no longer be rolling blackouts within the Java\nelectricity system. The company is also strengthening system reliability\nto prevent similar incidents from recurring.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe condition of the electricity system, particularly in Java, has\nseen no more rolling blackouts since 21 June 2026,\u201d stated Darmawan\nduring a Hearing with Commission XII of the Indonesian House of\nRepresentatives (DPR RI) in Jakarta on Thursday (2\/7\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Darmawan noted that PLN is enhancing the reliability of the\nelectricity system on Java Island through several measures prepared in\naccordance with the directives of the Minister of Energy and Mineral\nResources (ESDM).<\/p>\n<p>One such measure involves increasing the supply of medium to\nhigh-calorific coal, specifically above 4,500 calories. The Ministry of\nEnergy and Mineral Resources has allocated an additional supply of 1.8\nmillion tonnes on top of the existing supply for July 2026.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFurthermore, there will be an additional 3 million tonnes per month\nfrom August to December. Consequently, there will be an increase in\navailable power supply capacity by 5 gigawatts (GW) above the existing\n35.9 GW capacity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>According to Darmawan, this additional supply will make the\nelectricity system on Java Island more reliable. Additionally, in 2027,\nPLN is expected to receive a further 4.6 GW of electricity supply. This\ncapacity increase is believed to further enhance the reliability of the\nJava power system.<\/p>\n<p>Darmawan acknowledged that national coal production is currently\ndominated by low-calorific coal, while the production of medium to\nhigh-calorific coal tends to be declining.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith these steps, the energy supply constraints that previously\noccurred on Java Island can be overcome, ensuring that the rolling\nblackouts have been successfully resolved,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>",
