The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) reported that Indonesia's coal production reached 775 million tons in 2023. This figure is up 12.8% year-on-year (yoy) compared to 2022, setting a new production record.

Throughout 2023, 518 million tons of coal were used for export, an increase of 11.4% (yoy).

"This increase is due to rising energy demand and disruptions to the supply of alternative energy sources," said ESDM Minister Arifin Tasrif at a press conference on Monday (January 15, 2024).

Meanwhile, 213 million tons of coal were utilized for domestic market obligation (DMO) or domestic needs. This surpasses the target of 177 million tons.

Arifin stated that domestic coal use increased, partly due to rising electricity demand.

"A second reason (for the increased DMO) is the ongoing completion of new 35-gigawatt coal-fired power plants (PLTU)," he said.

The Ministry of ESDM has set a coal production target of 710 million tons for 2024, with 181.28 million tons allocated for domestic needs.
