Permits To Jokowi, Ministry Of Energy And Mineral Resources Ensures That The Revision Of The Rooftop PLTS Candy Is Completed This Month

JAKARTA - The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) has confirmed that the revision of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Regulation No. 26 of 2021 concerning the Roof Solar Power Plant System (PLTS Roof) will be completed this month.

"Hopefully in a week or two there will be such a thing," said the Secretary General (Sekjen) of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Dadan Kusdiana, when met at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Building, Thursday, January 11.

Dadan said the revision of the Permen had been completed but there was still a request from the Ministry of Finance regarding the impact of Permen on PLN as a state-owned stun company. Regarding the request, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources has harmonized with the Ministry of Finance.

"Everything is finished. It has actually been finished from the beginning. Then there is an opinion from the Ministry of Finance and we have harmonized it again with the Ministry of Finance. Now convey permission to return to the president," added Dadan.

Dadan said the revision was carried out in the context of an energy transition where the community and industry could contribute through the installation of Rooftop PLTS.

"But the pattern, if previously it was entrusted to PLN, the electricity produced could be used at another time, now it doesn't exist," explained Dadan.

Dadan ensured that the public could continue to benefit from this Permen revision, including through incentives.

He gave an example if it is cloudy and there is no sun that causes PLTS to not operate, electricity sourced from PLN will still be alerted.

"The electricity will continue to be there, without having to pay. So there is no charge there. Now that's an incentive from the government," concluded Dadan.
