The exhibition, which was opened directly by President Joko Widodo (Jokowi), was supplied with reliable electricity with a power of 660 kilovolt ampere (kVA).

PLN President Director Darmawan Prasodjo said PLN guarantees reliable electricity without air pollution and without sound for the sake of the splendor of IIMS 2023.

"Not only without flickering, we are committed to providing maximum service through reliable electricity supply, without noise and air pollution, so that visitors to IIMS 2023 can enjoy exhibitions and entertainment offerings that are presented comfortably," Darmawan said in an official statement, Sunday, February 19.

To ensure that electricity is anti-lightning during the implementation, said Darmawan, PLN has also alerted a 300 kVA Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) and personnel on standby.

"Personnel of engineering services are on standby alternately to ensure automotive events run smoothly without electrical constraints," said Darmawan.

Not only electricity, Darmawan said PLN support for the IIMS 2023 event which lasted from 16 to 26 February 2023, was also shown by the presence of innovations and products that support the electric vehicle ecosystem.
