PLN Maintains Electricity Tariffs in Q1 2026

Commitment to Economic Stability

PT PLN has committed to maintaining electricity tariffs during the first quarter of 2026, covering January to March. This decision was officially announced on January 1, 2026, as part of the state-owned enterprise's efforts to support national economic stability and protect consumer purchasing power.

Regulatory Framework

The decision is consistent with the tariff adjustment mechanism established by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources. According to Tri Winarno, Acting Director General of Electricity at the Ministry, tariff adjustments for non-subsidized customers are typically conducted every three months. This practice is governed by Ministerial Regulation No. 7 of 2024 concerning Electricity Tariffs provided by PT PLN.

Economic Rationale

By maintaining current electricity tariffs, PLN aims to support economic stability at the beginning of 2026. This move is particularly significant as it helps control operational costs for both households and businesses, potentially stimulating economic activity during the initial quarter of the year.
