But Iwan has not been able to explain the detailed plans related to the acquisition efforts either related to the location, target acquisition and nominal investment required.

Iwan explains another thing that is so that the price does not go up and down it takes a long-term contract with the coal mine.

PLN claimed to have been given "green light" or permission from the government to start the acquisition process.

"Actually the fastest step is 'joint cooperation', some things are being considered, hopefully this year can be realized," said Iwan.
