He added that PLN also succeeded in increasing electricity sales by 6.3 percent from 257.6 Terrawat hour (TWh) in 2021, to 273.8 TWh in 2022. This has an impact on increasing electricity sales revenue by 7.7 percent from IDR 288.9 trillion in 2021, to IDR 311.1 trillion in 2022.

Darmawan also expressed his appreciation and gratitude to the Government, because this positive performance cannot be separated from the support of the Government, especially the Ministry of SOEs, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, and the Ministry of Finance.

"We are very grateful to the Ministry of SOEs, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, and the Ministry of Finance. In addition to the extraordinary support provided to us, the Government has also succeeded in creating a conducive investment climate and is able to maintain people's purchasing power, so that electricity consumption increases," said Darmawan.

This success was also achieved by PLN thanks to efforts to achieve efficiency through end-to-end digital transformation. Starting from digitizing the generating system, transmitting, distribution, procurement, controlling the financial system, to the asset monitoring system, the results of the business process are more effective and on target.
