According to Global Energy Monitor, as of 2023, there are 53 coal-fired power plants (PLTU) under construction in Indonesia.

Upon completion, these new PLTUs are estimated to have a total capacity of 14.49 gigawatts (GW).

The most coal-fired power plants under construction are located in Central Sulawesi, with an accumulated capacity of 5.24 GW.

Construction of large-capacity new PLTUs is also underway in North Maluku, Banten, South Sumatra, and West Java, with capacities detailed in the graph.

According to Global Energy Monitor, most of the unfinished PLTUs in Indonesia are exclusive power plants supplying energy needs for industries, such as aluminum, cobalt, and nickel processing industries related to the battery and electric vehicle supply chain.

Global Energy Monitor criticizes this, as it potentially hinders Indonesia's commitment to reducing carbon emissions as outlined in the Paris Agreement.

"Industrial areas are national strategic projects for Indonesia. However, the lack of sustainable planning to supply electricity for these projects could challenge Indonesia's net-zero carbon ambitions," said Global Energy Monitor in its Boom and Bust Coal 2023 report.
