A total of 139 coal companies are allowed to export coal again

The Directorate General of Mineral and Coal of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources has granted permits or lifted the coal export ban for 139 companies that have fulfilled 100% of the domestic market obligation (DMO).

Director General of Mineral and Coal Ridwan Djamaluddin said the government's reason for banning coal exports as of January 1, 2022 was to meet PLN's critical coal needs. Namely, there are 17 PLTUs located in a number of areas with a capacity of 10 GW which have the potential to stop operating with a total of 10 million customers. This export ban is not only to secure coal supply, but also to secure ships and barges for domestic purposes. Ridwan said, usually if there is a sale abroad, of course the ship will be operated for export activities. "We have closed everything so that there are no exceptions. If there are exceptions, it will be difficult for us to control these exceptions. Again, this export ban is temporary and emergency management is to ensure domestic supplies," he said at a virtual press conference,
