In Indonesia, a village held hostage by coal pleads for change

In Indonesia, a village held hostage by coal pleads for change
by Della Syahni on 4 February 2021
Two new coal-fired power plants, PLTU 9 and 10, are being constructed in northwestern Java to provide an additional 2,000 MW of installed electricity capacity in Indonesia.
Residents complain the cluster of eight existing coal plants in the area have already caused problems with public health, agriculture and water pollution.
Analysts question the logic of constructing new plants in the Java-Bali grid, where supply already exceeds demand, and in light of the state utility’s mounting debts.
BANTEN, Indonesia — Every day, Subur and his wife walk past giant chimneys, painted red and white at the crown, pouring smoke out of a cluster of coal plants.
