Transparency of Coal-Fired Power Plant (CFPP) emission data information

Suaramerdeka.com wrote about the transparency of Coal-Fired Power Plant (CFPP) emission data information, which is considered to be the main key to controlling air pollution. This openness is also the basis for the public to monitor emissions released by coal-fired power plants. The Central Information Commission (KIP) will decide on the information disclosure hearing regarding emissions data. The trial decision will determine whether the emissions data from Suralaya CFPP in Cilegon, Banten and Ombilin CFPP, in Padang, West Sumatra, are suitable to be opened to the public or not. According to him, the existence of emission data at Suralaya CFPP and Ombilin CFPP could be a basis. This is so that the government can immediately carry out an energy transition.

 

CNBCIndonesia.com wrote that President Joko Widodo emphasized that there would be no construction of new Coal-Fired Power Plant (CFPP) as long as it was not critical. He expressed this when responding to the stalled construction of the Indramayu CFPP. According to Jokowi, all things related to national electricity needs that are currently being pushed are green energy. Such as hydropower, solar energy, wind power, and geothermal. However, it turns out that not all new CFPPs are prohibited from being built. This Presidential Regulation also includes exceptions for the construction of new CFPPs. One of these exceptions is intended for CFPPs that have been stipulated in the Electricity Supply Business Plan (RUPTL) before the enactment of this Presidential Regulation.
