A total of 418 companies coal still against government orders to supply 25 percent of production gold their black to meet domestic needs (Domestic Market Obligation/DMO), including to PLN.
This was revealed from the results of the meeting or socialization by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources to the Ministry of Trade delivered by the Head of the Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Office of East Kalimantan Province Christianus Benny.
Benny said the disobedience was carried out by 418 companies by not allocating their coal production to PLN. Until October 2021, the realization of the obligation to allocate coal from the company for domestic purposes is still 0.
As a result of this defiance, the government temporarily suspended the export permits of the 418 companies registered.
“This was conveyed by the Minister of Trade to the Director General of Trade,” said Benny as quoted from Between, Wednesday (5/1).
In addition to the 418, Benny also mentioned that there are 30 companies that, until October 2021, have fulfilled their DMO obligations of around 1-24 percent to PLN.
Then there are 17 companies that until October 2021, fulfillment of DMO 25-49 percent for PLN and as many as 25 companies that until October 2021, fulfillment of DMO 50-75 percent for PLN.
In addition, there are 29 companies that until October 2021, 76-100 percent of DMO fulfillment for PLN.
He added that as many as 93 companies, until October 2021, the fulfillment of the DMO for PLN was 100 percent.
“It was concluded that from points one to four, there will be a summons made by the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources and Foreign Trade regarding the fulfillment of DMO to PLN,” he said.
For information, electricity supply to 10 million PLN customers in Java, Madura and Bali is threatened.
The Director General of Mineral and Coal at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Ridwan Djamaluddin, said that this was due to the low realization of the obligation to fulfill coal for domestic needs from coal entrepreneurs.
He added that the realization caused PLN’s power plants to experience a coal supply deficit at the end of last year. According to him, the safe supply of coal at the PLTU PLN is more than 20 days of operation.
“From the 5.1 million metric tons (MT) assigned by the Government, until January 1, 2022, only 35 thousand MT or less than 1 percent has been fulfilled. This amount cannot meet the needs of each existing PLTU. If steps are not taken immediately strategically, there will be widespread blackouts,” said Ridwan as quoted from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources website, Saturday (1/1).
To overcome this problem, the government has decided to prohibit holders of Mining Business Permits (IUP) or Special Mining Business Permits (IUPK) from exporting coal.
The ban will be in effect from January 1, 2022 to January 31, 2022.
“Why are all of them banned from exporting? They are forced and this is temporary. If the export ban is not implemented, nearly 20 Steam Power Plants (PLTU) with a power of around 10,850 megawatts (MW) will be extinguished. This has the potential to disrupt the stability of the national economy. the generator has been fulfilled, it will return to normal, it can be exported. We will evaluate it after January 5, 2022,” he said.
