        "summary": "Indonesia's state electricity company PLN has attributed recent rolling blackouts across Java to disruptions in the supply of medium-range coal. The firm is accelerating contract signings with government-assigned suppliers and coordinating with the Ministry of Energy to restore deliveries. Technical failures at two major independent power plants have further strained the island's electricity grid.",
        "content": "<p>PLN President Director Darmawan Prasodjo has revealed the cause of\nthe frequent rolling blackouts occurring recently on the island of Java,\nciting issues related to coal supply.<\/p>\n<p>According to reports, the shortage involves medium-range coal.\nDarmawan stated that efforts are currently underway to accelerate the\ncontract signing process with coal suppliers who have been assigned by\nthe government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt this moment, the distribution process for medium-range coal is\nbeginning to flow to coal-fired power plants (PLTU) across Java,\nincluding those owned by PLN as well as those owned by our partners or\nIndependent Power Producers (IPP),\u201d Darmawan explained.<\/p>\n<p>Darmawan noted that PLN is receiving support from the Ministry of\nEnergy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), including Minister Bahlil\nLahadalia, the Directorate General of Electricity, and the Directorate\nGeneral of Mineral and Coal (Minerba), to overcome these coal supply\nchallenges.<\/p>\n<p>The process of restoring coal supplies is being conducted in\ncoordination with the Directorate General of Minerba to ensure that\nmedium-range coal can be promptly distributed to power plants.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the coal issues, Darmawan also revealed that PLN is\nfacing technical disruptions at two large IPP-owned power plants, which\nhave forced them to disconnect from the Java electricity system.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn this situation, we are also facing the challenge of technical\nconstraints at two large power plants in Java owned and operated by our\npartners; two independent power producers have experienced technical\ndisturbances and were forced to exit the Java electricity system,\u201d\nDarmawan clarified.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the rolling blackouts on the island of Java, Darmawan\noffered an apology and emphasised that PLN teams are working day and\nnight to resolve the disruptions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor that, once again, we sincerely apologise for the disruptions\nresulting in rolling blackouts in Java.
