Biaya listrik dari batubara tak efisien. Yakin tidak salah hitung?

Biaya pembangkitan listrik dari batu bara yang sebelumnya termasuk ekonomis kini dicemaskan tak lagi efisien. Harga batu bara yang melonjak membuat biaya pembangkitan listrik tak berbeda bila menggunakan daya dari PLN.

Excerpt from Kompas.com.

Saya pikir Plant Manager Energy and Power Division PT Panasia Indosyntec, Jozef Sandjaja, melupakan satu hal paling penting bahwa fluktuasi harga batubara sangat dipengaruhi oleh fluktuasi harga minyak mentah dunia. Lag indicator and lead indicator. Artinya ia melupakan faktor penting bahwa harga bahan bakar minyak juga melambung naik yang mengakibatkan biaya bahan bakar meningkat tajam. Oleh karenanya, secara logika, biaya bahan bakar PLTU dengan menggunakan batubara akan lebih murah dibandingkan biaya bahan bakar PLTD.

Excerpt from The Jakarta Post.

They are, no doubt, crazy parents that I’ve ever read. This is not an accident where you forget to take your kid(s) and left them home alone, though I have to say that any parent doing this is simply a stupid one. They left them intentionally. The police should do something about it.

Krisis energi di Indonesia: memerlukan langkah radikal. Definisikan radikal!

pemadaman justru terjadi di wilayah yang memiliki kekayaan bahan bakar pembangkit yakni gas dan batubara yang melimpah seperti Riau, Kalimantan Timur, dan Sumatera Selatan.

Excerpt from Kompas.com.

Radikal mungkin hanya pilihan kata. Namun saya sepakat bahwa penyelesaian masalah krisis energi perlu diawali dengan pembongkaran paradigma lama. Salah satunya adalah subsidi berlebihan yang terkadang justru berbalik menggerogoti kemampuan negara.
