A report by Trend Asia and Walhi Jambi arguing against the construction of two mouth-of-mine coal-fired power plants (PLTU MT Jambi 1 and 2) in Jambi Province, citing electricity oversupply, severe socio-ecological risks, and a shift in international investment away from coal.

• Jambi Province currently experiences a significant electricity oversupply, with PLN possessing a power reserve of 1,082 MW (81%) as the current generation capacity is 2,415 MW while community absorption is only 1,333 MW.
• The proposed PLTU MT Jambi 1 and 2 projects, each with a capacity of 2x300 MW, are viewed as efforts to create a market for low-rank coal rather than meeting energy needs. PLTU MT Jambi 1 is planned for Desa Pemusiran, Sarolangun, with an estimated investment of USD 1 billion (Rp 15 trillion), while PLTU MT Jambi 2 is planned for Desa Lubuk Napal.
• Existing coal power operations in Jambi, specifically the 2x7 MW PLTU Samaran, have caused documented health issues for residents, including coughs, shortness of breath, and skin diseases, as well as water pollution from coal dust.
• The construction of PLTU MT Jambi 1 is projected to cause severe health and economic impacts over a 30-year operational period, including 1,100 premature deaths, 680 premature births, and economic losses of approximately USD 640 million (Rp 9.05 trillion).
• Environmental threats associated with the projects include the potential loss of the Sekoserubuh River and the pollution of the Sekamis and Selempado rivers. PLTU MT Jambi 1 alone is estimated to require 36,000 m³ of raw water from the rivers in Desa Pemusiran.
• Funding for PLTU MT Jambi 2 has become uncertain following China Huadian's reported intention to withdraw from the project, aligning with President Xi Jinping's 2021 announcement that China would not build new coal plants abroad.
• Despite a regional energy plan (RUED) targeting 24% renewable energy by 2025 and 40% by 2050, Jambi's energy supply remains dominated by fossil fuels, with renewables currently at only 15.29% of the target.
