TKV chairman works with Indonesian coal supply partners

Within the framework of the program, the delegation held meetings with major Indonesian coal suppliers, including PT Berau Coal, PT Bukit Asam (PTBA), and PT Kaltim Prima Coal (KPC) — all of which play significant roles in the regional and global coal supply chain. These companies possess large reserves, annual production capacities of tens of millions of tons, and well-developed logistics systems, export ports, and modern operational management.

The delegation also worked with commercial partners such as Welhunt, HMS, and Glencore to review existing coal supply contracts and discuss opportunities for expanding cooperation in the future. Discussions focused on ensuring a stable and long-term coal supply that meets the required specifications and quality standards for EVN’s thermal power plants, amid rising coal import demand.

As part of the program, the delegation conducted on-site inspections at major coal mines and ports, notably the Sangatta mine of KPC, one of the largest open-pit coal mines in the world, as well as mining areas in East Kalimantan. The delegation observed large-scale operations, advanced technologies, and integrated processes from mining and transportation to export, providing practical insights for potential application to TKV’s operations.

The working program contributes to strengthening cooperation between TKV, EVN, and international partners, while laying an important foundation for the effective implementation of coal import contracts in the coming period, ensuring fuel supply for thermal power plants and supporting the country’s socio-economic development./.
