Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the adequacy of coal supplies for PLTU (Electricity Generator/Plant) fuel in order to meet the supply of quality and cheap electrical energy. This aspect is influenced by various strategic environments both internally and externally, including developments in energy supply and demand, investment in supporting infrastructure development, and the impact of policies and regulations from related sectors and across sectors. This study uses secondary data and the methodology is the cost benefit analysis tool (Cost Benefit Analysis). In addition, a focus group discussion (FGD) was conducted to identify variable indicators that could be used for alternatives and interventions to be analyzed. FGDs were also conducted in assessing the perceptions of each variable indicator. Assessment using a Likert scale. The results of this study is that to develop new industries, the required electricity supply is around 1000 watts per capita or to 260Gw for the industry to develop strongly. PLTU was chosen by the government to meet an adequate, reliable and cheap supply of electrical energy in order to drive the economy in Indonesia because it can generate large, strong and stable electricity with the cheapest investment in infrastructure development compared to other power plants. The limitation of this study is the limited time used so that the cost benefit analysis is limited to the identification of alternatives and the interventions to be analyzed.
