"Indonesia’s production this year is forecast to be around 230m tonnes. Roughly 190m tonnes of that are exported. But Indonesia has coal-fired power stations under construction that will absorb an extra 20m tonnes or so of coal by 2011, points out Adam Worthington, a commodities analyst at Macquarie Securities. The government says it might cap exports at 150m tonnes in future."

only 20M Tons used coal-fired power stations in 2011? My understanding reading this is the coal-fired power stations under construction will need an EXTRA 20M Tons by 2011. Not sure how many of those they currently have and what tonnage they need.
