Indonesia’s Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources, Bahlil Lahadalia, has stated that recent power outages across the nation are not due to a shortage of coal supply to state-owned electricity company PLN. Lahadalia affirmed that coal supplies remain sufficient to meet demand. He indicated the disruptions stem from technical factors within the power infrastructure itself, rather than fuel availability. The Minister’s statement aims to dispel concerns that coal supply issues are responsible for the blackouts. Further details regarding the specific technical problems causing the outages were not immediately provided. This clarification follows public anxiety regarding potential energy shortages and the reliability of the national power grid. The government is expected to provide a more detailed assessment of the technical issues soon.
