For your information, the change of directors in charge of primary energy in the state-owned electricity company occurred during a coal supply crisis for PLN's power plants. The lack of coal supply has an impact on millions of PLN customers ranging from the general public to industries in Java, Madura, Bali (Jamali) and non-Jamali areas.

In fact, based on a report by PLN, 10 million PLN electricity customers almost experienced blackouts because 20 PLN power plants did not get a supply of coal. Various efforts have been made by the government to overcome the current coal deficit. One of them is to temporarily stop the export of thermal coal.
