PT PLN President Director Darmawan Prasodjo said that his party is accelerating the procurement of coal supplies, especially coal with a medium calorie content to meet the needs of power plants.
"We are also expediting the signing of contracts with coal suppliers, particularly medium-rank coal suppliers that have been assigned by the government," Darmawan said in a voice recording confirmed.
In the process of accelerating the procurement of coal supplies, Darmawan carried out intensive and continuous coordination with the Director General of Minerals and Coal (Dirjen Minerba) of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Tri Winarno.
Through this coordination, Darmawan hopes that the contract signing process can proceed quickly.
"With the allocation of medium-rank coal and direction from the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources PLN will make improvements so that the electricity supply process can run smoothly," said Darmawan.
Currently, he continued, the distribution process of medium rank coal has begun to flow to steam power plants (PLTU) throughout Java Island, both PLN-owned PLTUs, PLN-owned PLTUs, and Independent Power Producer (IPP)-owned PLTUs.
