One of the world’s biggest coal producers battles to keep lights on

Indonesia, one of the world's largest coal producers, is grappling with a significant challenge as its domestic pricing strategy has led to a shortage of coal supplies, causing power outages. This policy was intended to keep energy costs low for local consumers but has inadvertently made it unattractive for suppliers to send coal to the country. This situation underscores the complex interplay between domestic economic policies and global supply chains, highlighting how local measures can have far-reaching effects on international markets.
