The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) ensures that a number of coal companies have submitted a revised Work Plan and Budget (RKAB).
Director of Coal Business Guidance at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Lana Saria, revealed that several Mining Business Permits (IUPs) have submitted plans to change the RKAB. "Both (for) an increase in production plans and a decrease in coal production in 2022," said Lana to Kontan, Monday (16/5).
Lana explained, generally plans to reduce production are submitted following the company's production results in the first quarter of 2022. In addition, the company is also considering the projected constraints for production in the rest of the year. Meanwhile, changes in plans to increase production are generally carried out following an increase in the company's production capacity.
Although she did not elaborate further on how many companies submitted a revised RKAB, Lana ensured that production for this year was still around the level of 663 million tons. "The realization until April 2022 has reached 29%," explained Lana.
Thus, the production achievement in the first four months of 2022 is around 192.26 million tons. Of this amount, the realization of the fulfillment of domestic coal or Domestic Market Obligations (DMO) reached 33% of the target or equivalent to 54 million tons.
