PLN Ensures Reliable Electricity Supply for 2025-2026 Nataru Period

Comprehensive Preparations for Peak Demand

PT PLN (Persero) has made comprehensive preparations to ensure a reliable electricity supply during the 2025-2026 Christmas and New Year (Nataru) period. The state-owned electricity company has prepared a total power supply capacity of 53.9 giga watts (GW), significantly exceeding the expected peak load of 46.8 GW. This results in a healthy reserve margin of 7 GW, equivalent to 15%, which is considered more than adequate by industry standards.

Infrastructure and Supply Readiness

Suroso Isnandar, Director of Project Management and New Renewable Energy at PLN, reported that all electrical infrastructure has been meticulously prepared for the Nataru period. The company has confirmed that both power generation capacity and primary energy supplies are sufficient to meet the increased demand during the holiday season. This preparation ensures that consumers can enjoy the festive period with reliable and uninterrupted electricity supply.

Strategic Planning for Peak Period

The preparation involves detailed planning and coordination across various aspects of electricity supply, including generation, transmission, and distribution. PLN's proactive approach demonstrates its commitment to providing reliable service during critical periods of high demand. The 15% reserve margin provides a buffer against unexpected demand surges or operational issues, ensuring system stability.
