DMO 2020 PRICE SET FOR ELECTRICITY SECTOR - IAN WOLLFF
Coal ExcavatorOn the 26th December 2019, the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) issued the decree No. 261.K/30.MEM/2019 about the States needs for coal in 2020 [Domestic Market Obligation = DMO] that is effective from the 1st January 2020. It is good that the decree was issued prior to its application, and the socialization of the decree is much anticipated.
 
The first three stipulations simply set the DMO for coal producers at a minimum of 25% of their sales. If this commitment is not met, then the producers are “obliged to pay compensation” for the shortfall amount of DMO sales. Note that the nature of such compensation is not mentioned in this decree.
 
The remainder of the decree specifically addresses coal sold “for the supply of electricity for public use..” The DMO sales for the cement and other industries are not mentioned, and presumably this decrees price setting formula for the electricity industry may not apply to other DMO coal uses.
 
The decree sets the coal selling price to the domestic electricity market, based upon a reference coal quality, and at the Free On Board (FOB) sales point. It would appear the business entity providing electricity is now mandatory to buy coal FOB and be responsible for coal transport, and to prioritize long term contracts. Coal producers that do not meet their DMO commitments related to the domestic electric market will be subject to sanctions in the form of reducing quota for the following years approved production. There seems to be no mention on the differentiation of 25% overall DMO and the proportion to be committed to the electric industry.
 
The Decree’s attachment sets out the determination of the selling price for the supply of electricity for public interest. There is separate formula for when the coal reference price is equal or more than USD 70/ton FOB, and for when the coal reference price is less than USD 70/ton FOB. The formula considers variations in coal quality and provides a table of 77 Indonesian coal quality / brands. There is a third consideration in the calculation of coal sales price to the electricity supply for public interest related to Spot Sales. It would seem the formulae do not consider coking properties.
