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

Trend Asia and partner organizations criticize PT PLN's commitment to stop coal-fired power plant (PLTU) projects that have not reached financial closing, citing a lack of transparency and the continued risk of projects like PLTU Indramayu 2 and PLTU Tanjung Jati A. The statement also condemns the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) for its role in funding the Cirebon 2 expansion, arguing that JBIC's pledge to exit coal is too late and should include stopping disbursements for ongoing projects to align with the Paris Agreement.

• PT PLN (Persero) has begun stopping contracts for coal-fired power plant (PLTU) projects that have not reached the financial closing stage, but the company has not provided detailed information on which specific projects will be halted.
• Specific coal projects in West Java that have not reached financial closing include PLTU Indramayu 2 (1×1000 MW) and PLTU Tanjung Jati A (2×660 MW) in Cirebon; these projects are criticized for causing land conversion and loss of livelihoods for hundreds of farm and salt pond workers.
• The continued construction of coal plants is deemed unnecessary due to electricity overcapacity, which is contributing to the financial waste of PT PLN.
• The Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) announced its withdrawal from coal business financing, but critics argue this is too late as it follows the funding of the Cirebon 2 expansion (1×1000 MW) and does not include stopping funds for ongoing projects.
