At this year's event, PLN Nusantara Power deliberately held it in Jakarta as the center of government and business, making it easier for all stakeholders to attend and contribute through the ideas and innovations they brought.

In this event, 20 inter-agency cooperation signings were also held that encourage the development of the electricity industry in order to strengthen synergy in the implementation of generator O&M, support national independence through optimizing TKDN, support the government's energy transition program towards Net Zero Emission through plans to build PLTS IKN, PLTB, and others.
