"Based on the data we have collected from year to year, the use of electricity at Christmas has indeed decreased compared to before Christmas because many are on holiday. However, we are still preparing sufficient supply so that people who celebrate Christmas in Jakarta feel comfortable worshiping," said Lasiran.
In this year's Christmas celebration, PLN also monitors electricity supply for 234 churches, shopping centers, tourism centers, crowded points, to homecoming access such as airports, stations, and bus terminals. As we all know, the Naru holiday coincides with school holidays, so many people take advantage of this moment to vacation with their families.
