Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Arifin Tasrif revealed that Indonesia's coal production continues to increase from year to year. For 2023, coal production was recorded at 775 million tons, far exceeding the targeted target of 695 million tons.
"So our production, for the realization of 2023 reaches 775 million tons and for domestic needs (DMO) we can meet the needs of 213 million tons and then also exports of 518 million tons," he explained during a press conference on the achievements of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources in 2023 in Jakarta, Monday (15/1).
Arifin said, there was an increase in domestic coal utilization from the 2023 target of 177 million tons. This is due to more coal demand, due to the addition of new Steam Power Plants (PLTU) from 35 GW projects that are being completed.
"The second cause is because the supply of other alternative energy is somewhat disrupted," said Arifin.
Indonesia's coal production has continued to increase since 2020, where in that year production amounted to 564 million tons with DMO of 132 million tons and exports of 405 million tons. For 2021, coal production reached 614 million tons, with DMO of 133 million tons and exports of 435 million tons.
In 2022, Indonesia's coal production increased again at 687 million tons, with DMO supply of 216 million tons and exports reaching 465 million tons. Meanwhile, in 2024, the government has set a coal production target of 710 million tons.
