a mining group executive said on Sunday .after Indonesia's state power utility reported dangerously low inventory levels of the fuel, putting South-east Asia's biggest economy on the brink of widespread power outages.
Indonesia's Coordinating Ministry of Maritime and Investment Affairs met miners and other related industry again on Sunday, but has not made any decision yet regarding resuming exports, said Hendra Sinadia, executive director of Indonesia Coal Miners Association. Senior minister Luhut Pandjaitan has said that the coal supply emergency at local power plants is over, but the government still needed to continue discuss policies in this area.Last week, Japan's embassy in Jakarta asked Indonesia's energy ministry to exclude high-calorific coal from the export ban because it is not used by local power plants and for permission for five vessels already loaded with coal to depart for Japan.
