The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) noted that since 2011 the EBT power plant has increased an average of 10% every year.

"This record is a testament to the Government's commitment to develop EBT, and the EBT must be attractive to investors, and the selling price of electricity must still be competitive so that consumer tariffs are not expensive," said Head of Communication, Public Information and Cooperation Bureau of the Ministry of ESDM Agung Pribadi in Jakarta on Thursday (01/25/2010).
