This report by Trend Asia and WALHI Jambi argues against the construction of the Jambi 1 and 2 mine-mouth coal-fired power plants (CFPP), citing an existing electricity oversupply in the region and the severe social and ecological risks associated with coal mining and power generation.

• Jambi Province currently experiences a significant oversupply of electricity, with a generating capacity of 2,415 MW compared to a community absorption of only 1,333 MW, leaving a power reserve of 1,082 MW (81%).
• The proposed Jambi 1 and 2 mine-mouth CFPPs each have a planned capacity of 2x300 MW. Jambi 1 is planned for Pemusiran Village in Sarolangun Regency, while Jambi 2 is planned for Lubuk Napal Village.
• The Jambi 1 project, managed by PT Jambi Power with an estimated investment of USD 1 billion (Rp 15 trillion), is criticized for an AMDAL (Environmental Impact Analysis) that used outdated 2008 emission standards and failed to assess mercury and toxic heavy metal emissions.
• The Jambi 2 project faces funding uncertainty following reports that China Huadian Corporation withdrew from the project in October 2022, aligning with President Xi Jinping's 2021 commitment to stop building new CFPPs abroad.
• Existing coal-fired power operations in Samaran Village have caused reported health issues including coughing, shortness of breath, and skin diseases, as well as pollution of clean water reservoirs by black coal dust.
• Modeling by the Center for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA) projects that if the Jambi 1 CFPP operates for 30 years, it could cause 1,100 premature deaths, 680 premature births, and economic losses of approximately USD 640 million (Rp 9.05 trillion).
• The report asserts that mine-mouth CFPPs are primarily designed to create a market for low-calorie coal, which is abundant in Sumatra (63.76 billion tonnes) and Kalimantan (61.18 billion tonnes), benefiting mining entrepreneurs over the local population.
