PLN Supports Sumatra Disaster Recovery with Electricity Infrastructure

Rapid Response to Disaster Victims' Needs

PT PLN (Persero) has successfully connected electricity to 15,000 temporary housing units for victims of recent natural disasters in Sumatra. This initiative is part of the government's comprehensive relief efforts to provide basic infrastructure for affected communities. PLN's Director, Darmawan Prasodjo, emphasized that every completed housing unit is ensured to have electricity, enabling immediate occupancy and supporting the overall recovery process.

Comprehensive Electricity Infrastructure Development

The electricity infrastructure developed by PLN includes transformer installations, comprehensive power grid networks, and individual kWh meters for each housing unit. In areas like Aceh Tamiang, PLN has completed the electrical infrastructure development, ensuring that both residential units and public facilities have reliable power supply. The company plans to hand over 600 housing units to local authorities on January 8, 2026, which will then be distributed to affected families.

Collaborative Efforts in Disaster Recovery

This initiative demonstrates PLN's commitment to supporting disaster recovery efforts through essential infrastructure provision. The collaboration between PLN and Danantara Indonesia, a state-owned enterprise focused on post-disaster housing, highlights the coordinated approach to addressing the needs of disaster-affected communities. By providing reliable electricity, PLN is helping to restore normalcy and facilitate the recovery process for those affected by the disasters in Sumatra.
