The Indian Adani Group will build Coal Transport Railway line from Tanjung Enim to the new port at Tanjung Api-api with capacity of 35 million tons per year, and the distance of about 270 KM. The entire capacity of the railway line will be fully used to transport PTBA’s coal. Adani planned as the off taker for approximately 60% of the total volume transported by referencing the market price. The progress already completed the stage of Feasibility. The construction completion will be expected to take 3-4 years. As planned this project will start in operation in 2016.

Banjarsari Mine Mouth Power Plant (2 x 110 MW)
PT Bukit Generating Innovative (PT BPI), is in progress for the completion of the power plant construction in Tanjung Enim. The required level of coal consumption is 1.4 million per year and will be fully supplied by the PTBA. 

The EPC of this project already started with the ground breaking in July of 2011, and based on the contract, the duration required for completion of this plant will be for 33 months. 

Central Banko Mine Mouth Power Plant (2 x 620 MW)

Joint Operation Agreement was signed in last February 2011 by a consortium of PTBA (27.5%), Pertamina (27.5%), and Dart Energy (45%). This project will already be able to operate commercially in 2013 with CBM gas production capacity of about 50 million ft3 per day. The drilling of 2nd pilot well was already conducted in March 2012 and will be followed by the 3rd pilot well.

About PT. Bukit Asam
The coal mining in Tanjung Enim was initiated by the Dutch Colonial Government in 1919 by operating the first coal mine using open pit mining method in Air Laya.

Using underground mining method, initial operation commenced in 1923 and lasted until 1940, while commercial production began in 1938.

When the Dutch Colonial period ended in Indonesia, the mining workers fought for the nationalization of the mines. In 1950, the Indonesian Government approved the establishment of State-Owned Bukit Asam Coal Mine or Perusahaan Negara Tambang Arang Bukit Asam (PN TABA).

In1981, PN TABA converted its status to a limited liability company under the name of PT Tambang Batubara Bukit Asam (Persero) Tbk, further called the Company. To develop coal industry in Indonesia, in 1990 the Government merged Perum Tambang Batubara with the Company.

In line with the national energy security development program, in 1993 the Company was assigned by the Government to develop coal briquette business.

On December 23, 2002 the Company became a publicly listed company on the Indonesian Stock Exchange under the code of “PTBA”.
