The coal oversupply in Indonesia in recent years has been caused by falling global demand amid reduced economic activity (particularly in China). However, the oversupply has been exacerbated by miners’ efforts to increase production volumes in order to generate more revenue and maintain a healthy cash flow, while enhancing cost-efficiency in their operations. As is quoted from Pandu Sjahrir, the chairman of the Indonesian Coal Mining Association, as confirming that the country's coal producers are now cutting back output in a major way. With Sjahrir saying that overall Indonesian production could drop to between 350 million and 400 million tons for 2015. In the meanwhile, In order to meet the rising electricity demands for economic takeoff, Indonesian government plans the construction of up to 17 gigawatts of new coal-fired power generation capacity over the next four years., which will increase coal burning within Indonesia.
