JAKARTA - The government is preparing to inaugurate electricity in around 1,400 villages. This number is only a small part of the approximately 11,000 villages that were previously recorded as not enjoying electricity.
Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Bahlil Lahadalia said the construction of electricity infrastructure in 1,400 villages has been completed. The development was reported to the President in a meeting at the Presidential Palace Complex, Jakarta, Tuesday, July 28.
"Of the 11,000 villages that have no electricity, there are now about 1,400 that have been completed and are ready to be inaugurated," said Bahlil.
With this figure, there are still about 9,600 villages that have not been resolved. However, Bahlil did not explain the location of the village, the capacity of the electricity built, nor the inauguration schedule.
The meeting with the President also discussed the arrangement of the mining sector. Bahlil did not specify the mining issues discussed or the policies that the government would take.
In addition, the government is preparing to inaugurate the Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Limited or CATL factory to support the electric vehicle battery ecosystem.
According to Bahlil, the construction of the plant began with the laying of the first stone in 2025. The project is now complete and ready to enter the production phase. "Now it's done, it can be produced. This is part of the implementation of nickel downstream," he said. The CATL plant is part of the government's agenda to build an electric vehicle battery industry chain in the country. Bahlil has not mentioned the time of inauguration, production capacity, or the value of investment in the facility.
