PTBA: Propose a 28% increase coal selling price to Suralaya PT Tambang Batubara Bukit Asam, a state-controlled Indonesian coal miner, is in talks to raise the price of supplies to a Java power plant that accounts for half of its sales by 28 percent. Bukit Asam is seeking to raise the price of coal sold to Suralaya power plant to 480,000 rupiah ($53) a metric ton next year, President Director Sukrisno said in Jakarta today. The mining company increased the price for its largest customer 6.6 percent this year to 374,912 rupiah. Coal prices have doubled in the past year and reached a record $72.37 a ton in August at Newcastle port in Australia. The gains were prompted by delays in shipments at the world's largest export harbor for power station coal and by Japan buying more of the fuel to compensate for a nuclear plant shutdown. ``The price will depend on how much Bukit Asam can provide us,'' said Achmad Sadikin, operations director at PT Indonesia Power, a unit of state utility PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara that operates the power plant. The unit wants Bukit Asam to supply 6 million tons in 2008, an increase of 18 percent, he said. Coal for immediate delivery at Newcastle rose $2.78, or 4.1 percent, to $70.20 a metric ton in the week ended Sept. 28, according to the globalCOAL NEWC Index. ***************************** BUMI : Cut its production output due to heavy rainfall PT Bumi Resources, Asia's third-biggest coal producer by sales, cut its estimate for output this year by about 2 percent after heavy rains hampered production and transportation at several mines, an executive said. Bumi, which said Aug. 6 output may be 58 million metric tons, may instead produce 57 million tons, Dileep Srivastava, head of investor relations, told reporters in Jakarta today. ``The rainfall was unusually high,'' he said. The rains in August and last month forced companies, including Thailand's Banpu Pcl and Straits Asia Resources Ltd., to miss contracted shipments from mines in southern Borneo, boosting coal prices. Bumi, which has said it won't renege on shipments, has offered contractors incentives to step up output. Bumi plans to sell between 63 million tons and 65 million tons of coal next year, Srivastava said. The Jakarta-based company also expects the fuel to fetch an average price of $50 a ton next year compared with an estimated $43 this year, he said. Borneo is a Southeast Asian island shared between Indonesia, Brunei and Malaysia. Regards Made Satyaguna AAA Securities Artha Graha Bld 26/F Jl.
