Indonesia to double coal production by 2025

Indonesia plans to more than double coal production to 560 million tonnes per year by 2025. Out of that number, 300 million tonnes per year will be allocated to the domestic market and the remaining 260 million tonnes per year will be exported, ArgusMedia reported.

Indonesia needs an additional 45 million tonnes per year of coal on top of existing power plant requirements to support its crash electricity expansion program that aims to add 20,000MW of generation capacity by 2014.

Mr Marpaung at the McCloskey Asia Pacific Coal Outlook Conference 2010 in Bali said that “The 45 million tonne per year of coal will be supplied by about 15 designated mining companies, some of which are also exporting.”

The three largest suppliers are Consorsium PT Arutmin Indonesia & PT Darma Henwa, PT Hason Energy and Consorsium PT Kasih Industri Ind & PT Senamas, which will contribute about 8.5 million tonne per year, 4.4 million tonne per year and 3.8 million tonne per year respectively.
