Legal fight over Bali coal power plant illuminates Indonesia energy dilemma

June 27, 2018 vnexpress Leave a Comment

Over the last three years, fisherman Iputu Gede Astawa has watched his daily catch off the northern tip of Indonesia’s Bali island fall at an alarming rate. Having swapped his paddle for an outboard motor in a futile effort to fish further out to sea where waters are more dangerous, Astawa blames a nearby coal power plant for harming his livelihood. “My catch is totally different to what it was before the power plant began operating,” said Astawa, a third-generation fisherman based near the port town of Singaraja who heads a group of about 30 other fishermen. Where once they caught 400 buckets of fish a day, they now net just 10. Astawa is one of three local residents fighting a legal battle to stop the planned expansion of the Celukan Bawang power plant, about 120 km (75 miles) from the main tourism hub of Denpasar, which began operating in 2015. “All the fishermen will be impacted and we will lose our jobs,” said Astawa, 43, who now makes furniture to … [Read more...] about Legal fight over Bali coal power plant illuminates Indonesia energy dilemma
