PT Pembangkitan Jawa Bali is calling for offers for as much as 1.32 million metric tons of coal under a one-year contract to supply the Paiton power plant in Indonesia’s East Java province. 

The unit of PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara, the state-owned utility, seeks supplies of about 110,000 tons of coal a month with a gross energy value of 4,700 kilocalories to 4,900 kilocalories a kilogram, the Surabaya, East Java-based company said in a notice on its website dated Feb. 7.
