In recent years, the Indonesian government has been consistently promoting downstream processing, or the processing of raw natural resources, including nickel.

This nickel downstream processing aims to build a domestic electric vehicle battery industry.

According to data from the Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs and Investment (Kemenko Marves), as of April 2024, there are 54 nickel smelters or processing facilities operating in Indonesia.

Furthermore, there are 38 nickel smelters under construction and 55 in the planning stages.

Kemenko Marves notes that all stages of operation, construction, and planning of nickel smelters in Indonesia require a total electricity energy of 17,565 megawatts (MW).

Of this total requirement, approximately 4,004 MW (22.8%) will be supplied by the state-owned electricity company Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN).

Approximately 13,562 MW (77.2%) will be supplied by private power plants built independently by the private sector (captive power plant).

Further detail shows that these private power plants will largely consist of coal-fired power plants (PLTU), generally using fossil fuels, primarily coal.

The following details the planned energy supply for nickel smelters from private power plants (captive power plant), based on Kemenko Marves data in April 2024:

* Coal-fired power plants (PLTU): 11,908 MW (67.8% of total nickel smelter energy needs)
* Hydroelectric power plants (PLTA): 1,254 MW (7.1%)
* Diesel power plants (PLTD): 219 MW (1.2%)
* Combined cycle power plants (PLTGU): 133 MW (0.8%)
* Waste-to-energy power plants (PLTSa): 48 MW (0.3%)
