Aceh's Power Restoration Progress After Floods and Landslides

Current Status of Power Restoration

According to Darmawan Prasodjo, the Director of Bank Indonesia, the power restoration process in Aceh is ongoing, with 15 out of 23 districts achieving 100% restoration ¹

. The remaining 8 districts are still in the process of recovery, with some areas facing significant challenges due to inaccessible locations.

Challenges in Power Restoration

The speed of power restoration is closely related to the accessibility of evacuation materials in the affected areas. In areas where access is still limited, the restoration process is slower. For example, in Aceh Tengah and Bener Meriah, the evacuation of materials is still being carried out using aircraft, which has resulted in a slower restoration process ¹

.
