wrote about PT PLN which has prepared a number of strategies to anticipate
demands for reducing carbon emissions in the electricity sector. One of the big
tasks of this state-owned electricity company is to retire early and slowly
turn off coal-fired power plants (CFPPs) which are currently still the backbone
of national electricity. The existence of coal-based power plant is still a
mainstay because it is considered capable of reducing the basic cost of
providing electricity (BPP). This will impact the selling price of electricity
to customers which is cheaper. VP of Electricity Digitalization, PLN Digital
Management Division, Agus Tri Susanto, stated that currently his party has a
long-term plan regarding which coal plants will be shut down, but in terms of
reducing carbon emissions in the electricity sector, PLN does not want to
immediately shut down the CFPPs because they still want to maintaining domestic
energy supply and security.
