In addition to that, there is also a problem with the electricity supplied by PLN – some Many blackouts in various
areas of the country have experienced blackouts due to the electricity deficit. These areas in Indonesia including
in the capital city, Jakarta
blackouts are due to many technical problems, such as aging power plants that cannot
operate efficiently or, even worse, damaged equipment. These blackouts cause many
industries to suffer substantial losses in the form of decreasing work hours and
damaged machinery. For instance, up to 50,000 small to medium enterprises in north
Sumatra are losing 60% of their daily productivity due to blackouts, which can be up to
six hours per day.
Most of PLN’s installed capacity is concentrated in Java (73%), with the remaining Electricity bought by PLN

meet estimated future demand of electricity, PLN has allowed IPPs to participate in
power generation since 1989. The electricity bought by PLN increased significantly,
given that there was no significant expansion after the crisis. Electricity bought from
third-party IPPs accounted for only 3% of total electricity produced in 1994, then rose

Indonesian power generators are moving away from oil-fired capacity in favour of
natural-gas and coal-fired plants. As an example, Indonesia Power is considering
switching its existing oil-fired generators (32% of current capacity) to natural gas. In
particular, coal-fired capacity is expected to increase significantly from 37% of the
company’s existing capacity as new projects come online.
In an attempt to slash its oil-fuel-related costs to produce electricity and secure PLN has been trying to
electricity supply, the government realised that building non-oil-fuelled power plants is switch its fuel generator to
a coal-fired power plant due
a must. One of the non-oil-fuelled power plants, which are considered suitable for
its higher cost efficiency
Indonesia, is a coal-fired power plant, as it only requires low-rank coal, which is
cheaper than oil fuel and is available in abundance in Indonesia. Besides, unlike
hydropower plants whose capacity is highly influenced by weather and water
availability, coal-fired power plant is not affected by changes in weather, so it offers a
more-stable electricity supply.
In 2005, oil fuel accounted for 79% of PLN’s total production costs and produced only
33% of PLN’s total electricity output, whereas coal only accounted for about 9% of
PLN’s total production cost and produced 33% of PLN’s total electricity output. From
the table above, we can see that coal provides substantially lower production costs in
terms of one unit output per one unit cost, which is shown by a higher production to
cost ratio for coal compared with oil fuel.

preliminary indication from management indicates that Qingdao Jieneng will likely give
Truba a 2-3% agency fee for its equipment for the EPC project.
For the IPP business, Truba revenue will come onstream after two to two and a half
years. Truba will need to sign a PPA (power-purchase agreement) with the
government. One thing to understand is that IPP producers in Indonesia do not have to
bear the volatility in coal prices as this cost will be absorbed by PLN, and IPP
producers can fully pass on all cost to PLN.

Other factors that have contributed to growth of power demand in Indonesia are the Rising affluence and
rising affluence and the increasing urbanisation of the Indonesian population. Rising improving standards of
living result in higher
affluence and improving standards of living in Indonesia have generally resulted in
electricity usage
higher usage of air conditioners and electrical household appliances. Increased
urbanisation has also generally reduced the number of persons per dwelling, which
has led to a larger number of electricity-consuming households.
Market structure
The electricity sector in Indonesia has an effective monopoly under PLN, a state- PLN has an effective
owned electricity company. PLN had a complete monopoly on power generation and monopoly in the electricity
sector in Indonesia
distribution until the middle of 1989. Due to its inability to meet estimated future
demand, the government began to allow IPPs to participate in power generation in
1989. By 1997, PLN had signed 27 IPP projects with a combined capacity of 10.5
GWh, typically with consortiums that featured well-connected Indonesian partners.
However, the Asian financial crisis in 1997 had a negative impact on PLN and the
government launched a number of initiatives that included the renegotiation of certain
PPAs to improve the economic sustainability of such contracts.
Indonesia is set for a substantial expansion of power-generating capacity. The country Indonesia faces a shortage
faces a shortage of generating power, a problem made worse by the lack of an of power
integrated national grid. Improving both capacity and the transmission network are
major components of Indonesia’s fiscal 2009 infrastructure development project. As of
2006, there were approximately 36m electricity customers throughout Indonesia, of
which 23.8m were served by the Java-Bali grid.

PLN remains the dominant presence in domestic power generation and transmission. PLN’s power-generation
However, an emphasis on private-sector investment – primarily in IPPs – marks a capacity has been pretty
much stagnant since the
return to development plans before the 1997 financial crisis. PLN has 16,361MW
crisis
available in Java-Bali and 5,249MW on the other main islands. The role of IPPs in
providing domestic power is becoming increasingly important as the domestic
consumption of electric power increases. PLN’s power-generation capacity has had
only marginal increases in recent years. The increase in PLN’s power-generation
capacity from 2001-2006 was at annual growth of 1.7%, whereas peak demand has
risen by 4.3% per annum and electric-power consumption increased 6.1% per annum
over the same period.
New electricity-generating plants are expected to help the country meet its growing
demand for power and to reduce the risk of being dependent on certain specific
electricity-generating plants. Indonesia expects approximately 3GW of new capacity to
begin operation.
Power-demand outlook
The increase in demand has been driven by Indonesia’s relatively low per capita Indonesia has low
consumption and generation capacity. Indonesia’s per capita consumption of electricity electricity per capita
consumption
is low compared with other emerging Asian economies such as Malaysia, Thailand and
Vietnam. This indicates that there is potential for future growth in electricity demand as
the Indonesian economy further develops. Furthermore, countries with predominantly
manufacturing-based economies tend to consume more electricity
Fuel-price hikes have forced many industries to switch their energy supply from oil- … many industries to
fuel-based energy to electricity-based energy from PLN. This action has caused switch their energy to
electricity from PLN
electricity consumption to jump significantly during peak hours (5pm–10pm), notably in
Java and Bali. As a result, PLN’s consumption of oil fuel to produce electricity jumped
to 11m kilolitres in 2005, whereas its subsidised fuel is only 8.4m kilolitres.

This oil-fuel difference (difference between total oil fuel needed and subsidized oil fuel)
must be paid for by PLN at market prices, which increases PLN’s costs as it needs
more funds to buy fuel to generate necessary power. But PLN’s highly limited financial
capability may prevent it from financing such excessive additional costs.
To ease its financial burden, PLN has tried to propose an electricity-tariff increase, but
finally after some to and fro, this proposal was rejected by the government as it was
thought to indicate negative sentiment to the overall economy. This rejection coupled
with higher oil prices has caused the government to propose higher electricity
subsidies.
These blackouts cause many industries to suffer substantial losses in the form of
decreased work hours and damaged machinery. For instance, up to 50,000 small and
medium-size enterprises in north Sumatra are losing 60% of their daily productivity due
to blackouts, which can be up to six hours per day.
In an attempt to slash its oil-fuel-related costs to produce electricity and secure … reduce its energy cost
electricity supply, the government realised that building non-oil-fueled power plants is a
must. One of the non-oil-fueled power plants, which are considered suitable for
Indonesia, is coal-fired power plants, as it only requires low-rank coal, which is
cheaper than oil fuel and is available in abundance in Indonesia. Besides, unlike
hydropower plants whose capacity is highly influenced by weather and water
availability, coal-fired power plant is not affected by changes in weather, thus offering a
more-stable electricity supply.
It is expected that oil fuel will account for 79% of PLN’s total production costs and
produce only 33% of PLN’s total electricity output, whereas coal will account for about
only 9% of PLN’s total production costs and produce 33% of PLN’s total electricity
output.

From the table above, we can see that coal provides substantially lower production
costs in terms of one unit output per one unit cost, which is shown by a higher
production to cost ratio for coal compared to oil fuel. But after all the favourable stories
about coal-fired power plants, all we can guess is, the government will end up with the
same classic problem, that is, insufficient funding given its highly limited budget.
On 5 July 2006, the Indonesian president issued Presidential Decree No. 71 Year
2006, which assigned PLN to speed up coal-fired power-plant development in
Indonesia. Some local construction companies (private and stated-owned) have shown
an interest in the programme. The government has also shown its strong support for
this crash programme by providing financial guarantees for PLN’s financial statement
and balance sheet.

Recommendation structure
All share prices are as at market close on 19 June 2007 unless otherwise stated. Stock recommendations are based on
absolute upside (downside), which we define as (target price* - current price) / current price. If the upside is 10% or more, the
recommendation is BUY. If the downside is 10% or more, the recommendation is REDUCE. For stocks where the upside or downside
is less than 10%, the recommendation is HOLD. In addition, we have key buy and key sell lists in each market, which are our most
commercial and/or actionable BUY and REDUCE calls and are limited to at most five key buys and five key sells in each market at
any point in time.
Unless otherwise specified, these recommendations are set with a 12-month horizon. Thus, it is possible that future price volatility
may cause a temporary mismatch between upside/downside for a stock based on market price and the formal recommendation.
*In most cases, the target price will equal the analyst's assessment of the current fair value of the stock. However, if the analyst
doesn't think the market will reassess the stock over the specified time horizon due to a lack of events or catalysts, then the target
price may differ from fair value. In most cases, therefore, our recommendation is an assessment of the mismatch between current
market price and our assessment of current fair value.
