PT Anugrah Energi Kalimantan has demonstrated its commitment to supporting the electrification program for PT Borneo Indobara's (BIB) mining equipment as part of the transition toward green energy.
This step aligns with the government’s green energy development program, which focuses on shifting from fossil fuels to New and Renewable Energy (EBT) to achieve the 2060 Net Zero Emission (NZE) target.
The President Director of PT Anugrah Energi Kalimantan, Gusti Teguh Juang, stated that supporting mine electrification is a form of company contribution toward national policies in the energy and mining sectors.
"The electrification of this mining equipment is in line with the government's policy direction to encourage the use of clean and environmentally friendly energy," he remarked during the Ceremony Of Electrification and Green Mining Realization in Angsana, Monday (Feb 9, 2026).
Meanwhile, Ismail, the Operational Person in Charge (PJO) of PT Anugrah Energi Kalimantan, explained that the implementation of electrification began in late 2024. The initial phase started with the operation of electric-based coal haul trucks and continues to progress today.
“We began using electric coal haul trucks at the end of 2024. Currently, nearly all of our mining equipment and support tools are electric or hybrid-based,” Ismail explained.
He added that the use of electric-based mining equipment has not caused significant operational issues. Furthermore, this step is considered capable of significantly reducing the company's operational costs.
“So far, operations have run smoothly without major obstacles and have actually provided cost efficiencies,” he added.
Ismail further emphasized that the acceleration of electrification is also heavily determined by the availability of an adequate power grid.
To this end, BIB and PLN are currently preparing the electrical infrastructure to support the continuity of the program.
With this move, PT Anugrah Energi Kalimantan hopes to be an active part of the mining industry players in realizing sustainable and environmentally friendly mining practices.
