State Directors of PT PLN (Persero) admitted that often get threats
from the suppliers of coal each company attempts to implement the
specification of coal to power plants that had been closely supervising
too weak.
PLN president director said Dahlan Iskan weak control over the specifications for coal to be supplied to the plant, allegedly has been abused by the supplier to deliver coal plant is not in accordance with specifications in accordance with the agreed contract. Consequently, some plants can not produce power optimally. He exemplifies the true wind Labuan plant with a capacity of 115 MW is now only capable of producing 40 MW due to the exact specifications of coal delivered. On the other hand, he said, any attempt to tighten the verification specification PLN coal, directors often get threats from suppliers, including threats to stop the supply of coal. "Just outstanding short messages, which were also submitted to the ministers that the remaining stock Labuan plant was 3 days. It seems there will be no threat of directors who would be dismissed. But, after we checked into the field turns out the stock is still 2 weeks," he said yesterday. According to him, inaccuracies specifications that can actually be solved as long as the consumer PLN verisikasi apply strictly, outside the existing team of independent verification. Therefore, PLN has decided to build his own laboratory verification purposes. Members of the House of Representatives Commission VII PDIP Effendi Simbolon said that the development lab is not required if PLN provide adequate price for the supplier. The decline was due more to the specifications of the offered price PLN lower and not in accordance with the standards set forth in the budget assumption of power subsidy. "PLN's allotted up to U.S. $ 630,000 per ton. PLN should not profit from it and apply the price in accordance with that assessment. If you take a profit, eventually lured suppliers to lower coal specifications," he said. However, PLN's Director of Primary Energy Pamudji Nur said the budget set out in the assumption of power subsidy to the average benchmark price for PLN.
