JAKARTA, Sept 6 — Indonesia has nearly halved output at a major coal-fired power plant near the capital Jakarta after the city faced major pollution spikes in recent weeks, its operator told AFP Wednesday.
The megalopolis of about 30 million people topped global pollution rankings several times last month, according to Swiss-based air quality monitor IQAir, as a toxic smog crisis threatened to overshadow the meetings. He said the plant, on the western tip of Indonesia’s most populous island Java around 100 kilometres from central Jakarta, would now operate to produce 1,800 megawatts.
Indonesia has pledged to stop building new coal-fired power plants from 2023 and to be carbon neutral by 2050.
