Indonesia’s state-owned electricity company, PLN, has revealed several coal-fired power plants on the island of Java are experiencing disruptions due to a shortage of medium-rank coal. This supply crisis is resulting in rolling blackouts across Java, impacting electricity access for residents and businesses. PLN has not specified the exact number of plants affected, but confirmed the issue is widespread. The shortage stems from production challenges and logistical constraints in securing sufficient coal supplies. Authorities are working to address the situation and stabilize the power grid, but the disruptions are expected to continue in the short term. The situation highlights Indonesia’s reliance on coal for power generation and vulnerabilities in its energy supply chain. Further details regarding the duration and extent of the blackouts are pending.
