Bisnis.com, JAKARTA - The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, or ESDM, issued'a crucial policy, curbing coal exports from January 1 to 31, 2022, as coal supply to fuel power plants depletes. On the other hand, business players protested the sudden decision.
The regulation, stated in a decree B-1605/MB.05/DJB.B/2021 dated December 31, 2021, stipulates three main points. First, the government bans coal producers from exporting coal from January 1 to 31, 2022, as the coal supplies for PLN and independent power producer coal-fired power plants (PLTU) are critically low.
