JAKARTA - PT PLN (Persero) has completed two high-voltage electricity projects for the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed train in the form of providing voltage to the 150 kV Poncol Baru-Poncol Baru II high-voltage overhead line and the 150 kV Poncol Baru II Gas Insulated Substation (GIS). .

Business Director of PT PLN Regional Java, Madura and Bali PLN Haryanto said the project was very crucial in supporting the success of the construction and operation of the high-speed train.

"This SUTT and GIS have been built since 2018 by utilizing the land of the existing PLN ULTG Bekasi building, so that in the process it requires the construction of a replacement building first," said Haryanto in a statement in Jakarta, quoted from Antara, Monday 27 September.

The electricity project with an investment of IDR 165 billion and built in Margahayu, East Bekasi, will also be one of the important electricity infrastructures for Bekasi City.

Haryanto revealed that the level of the domestic component (TKDN) of the project's goods and services reached 65.58 percent, so this electricity project became one of the most crucial infrastructures in strengthening the West Java electricity system.

The Jakarta-Bandung high-speed train is projected to have a track of 142.3 kilometers, making it the first high-speed rail transportation system in Southeast Asia.

The presence of the fast train will accelerate Jakarta-Bandung mobility with a travel time of less than one hour.

"This innovation in modern means of transportation, of course, really needs the best and reliable electricity supply," said Haryanto.
