JAKARTA - On the 80th Anniversary of Indonesian Independence, PT PLN (Persero) provides a 50 percent discount for residents who want to increase their electricity.

"The 50 percent discount program which we name 'Energy of Independence' is a form of support, as well as a form of gratitude for the independence this nation has achieved," said Assistant to Commercial Manager and Marketing of PLN's Customer Service Implementation Unit (UP3) Madura, Abd Ghazur in Pamekasan quoting Antara.

He explained that a 50 percent discount for customers who want to increase their electricity has been going on since the 10th and will last until August 23, 2025.

Through this program, customers can save significant costs.

As an illustration, customers with a power of 450 VA who want to increase their power to 7,700 VA only need to pay IDR 3,512,625, from the normal rate of IDR 7,025,250.

This promo applies to all low-voltage customers in all one-face tariff groups with an initial power of 450 Volt Ampere (VA) to 5,500 VA, who want to increase their power to a maximum of 7,700 VA.

"The condition is that customers are registered as PLN users before August 1, 2024," said Ghafur.

He further explained that the application for additional power can be done easily through the PLN Mobile application.

For prepaid customers, it is enough to buy electricity tokens, while postpaid customers can pay bills.

"After the transaction is successful, the customer will receive an added power discount e-voucher through the Reward feature at PLN Mobile or registered email," he said.

Furthermore, customers can apply for additional power by entering the e-voucher code at PLN Mobile.

After the payment is verified, the local PLN unit will immediately process the application according to applicable regulations.

One PLN Mobile account can receive a maximum of four e-vouchers during the promo period to provide equal opportunities to more customers.

"We hope the Madurese people take advantage of this opportunity as well as possible, because the promo is only valid until August 23, 2025," he said.
