JAKARTA - PLN Nusantara Power (PLN NP) has successfully prepared a production of 14,132 Mega Watt (MW) or 14.1 Gigawatt during the Lebaran and Idulfitri periods. PLN NP also contributed 42 percent of the total national peak load of 35,014 MW or 35 GW.

PLN Nusantara Power President Director Ruly Firmansyah added that PLN NP alerted 8,898 standby personnel, 126 posts, and 45 fire trucks spread across various regions of Indonesia during Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, and Eid al-Adha.

"PLN NP also contributes to generating green electricity of 1,821 MW which comes from various hydropower plants and PLTS," he said, Monday, March 30.

Furthermore, Ruly added, with a portfolio of power plants spread from Arun in Aceh to Tidore in Maluku, PLN Nusantara Power continues to strengthen its role as the backbone of the reliability of the national electricity system.

"A number of strategic plants such as the Arun PLTMG in Lhokseumawe, the Balikpapan Bay Power Plant, the Pulang Pisau Power Plant, and the Tidore Power Plant are also in the forefront of maintaining the stability of electricity supply, especially in areas outside the island of Java," he continued.

To support supply reliability during the Rafi 1447 H period, PLN NP deployed operational and maintenance personnel integrated throughout the work area. This readiness is strengthened through asset security, increased patrol intensity, and the implementation of preventive and predictive maintenance on critical equipment to minimize potential disruptions.

"Electricity is very important during this period, especially during Ramadan until the eve of Eid al-Fitr. Therefore, we continue to strive for the best, both in terms of human resource readiness and strengthening supporting technology for operations," continued Ruly.

Apart from the readiness of human resources, PLN NP also strengthens operational reliability through the utilization of digital technology based on the Nusantara InnoVision Center (NIC). Through this integrated monitoring system, PLN NP is able to monitor operations in real time, analyze data to detect potential anomalies earlier, and manage the performance of the power plant unit optimally with the support of strengthening cyber security. With this system, responses to potential disruptions can be carried out faster, more precise, and effective so that the continuity of electricity supply is maintained.

"We have prepared an electricity supply of 14.1 GW to support system reliability, especially to welcome the 1447 Hijriah Eid al-Fitr and the post-holiday needs. Operator and maintenance personnel are also on duty 24 hours a day in rotation at all power plants spread across various regions," said Ruly.
