Komitmen Baru PLN dan JBIC Belum Cukup Perlu Total Hentikan Pendanaan Proyek PLTU Batubara

A statement by Trend Asia criticizing the commitments of PT PLN (Persero) and the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) regarding the cessation of coal-fired power plant (PLTU) funding in Indonesia, arguing that these measures are insufficient and lack transparency.

• PT PLN (Persero) has begun stopping contracts for coal-fired power plant (PLTU) projects that have not yet reached the financial closing stage, but Trend Asia argues this is insufficient and lacks detail on which specific projects are affected.
• Specific coal projects identified as not yet having reached financial closing include the 1×1000 MW PLTU Indramayu 2 and the 2×660 MW PLTU Tanjung Jati A in Cirebon, West Java.
• The development of PLTU Indramayu 2 and PLTU Tanjung Jati A has caused significant socio-ecological damage, including the conversion of 275.4 hectares of productive agricultural land (affecting 790 farm laborers) and 230 hectares of productive salt ponds (affecting 224 salt pond workers).
• Trend Asia and other advocates argue that PLN should stop not only projects without financial closing but also those in early construction phases to address electricity overcapacity and financial waste.
• The Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) has announced its withdrawal from coal business financing, but critics claim this is too late as it follows the funding of the 1×1000 MW PLTU Cirebon 2 expansion; they demand JBIC stop current disbursements for Cirebon 2 to align with the Paris Agreement.
