JAKARTA - PT PLN (Persero) Lampung's Main Distribution Unit (UID) ensures the reliability of electricity supply during the World Surf League or the 2024 Krui Pro World Surfing League on May 28-4 June 2024.

"We continue to move to prepare ourselves for the success of the most prestigious international-scale surfing tournament," said General Manager of PLN Sugeng Widodo in his statement in Bandarlampung, Friday, May 24, which was confiscated by Antara.

He said that in order to ensure the electricity service, PLN had held an electric alert for WSL Krui at Tanjung Setia Beach.

His party is fully committed to the success of the WSL Pro with careful readiness from the electricity sector for the good name of Lampung Province and also Indonesia in the eyes of the world.

According to Sugeng, his party has made preparations since early May 2024 so that the WSL Krui Pro 2023 event is successful.

Preparations made include improvements in the prevention of the electricity grid, additional substations, alerting reserves of 2 units of mobile generators (250 kVA and 50 kVA) to 2 units (2\times100 kVA) of uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for the reliability of electricity without flickering at two posts in Tanjung Setia and Mandiri Beach and will alert 30 technical service personnel and 20 other employees.

This step, he continued, was a form of PLN's support in the success of the international surfing event.

"WSL Krui Pro 2024 is a world surfing sporting event, therefore with all our efforts we prepare reliable and safe electricity supply for the success of this event which will be watched by millions of pairs of eyes in all parts of the world," said Sugeng.

Sugeng explained that the electricity supply was supplied from two substations, including the Liwa Substation and the Great City Main Substation. Checks along the electricity distribution line continue to be carried out, to ensure the electricity supply is in safe condition.

He said that apart from making technical efforts, PLN also continued to coordinate and communicate with all stakeholders who were also an important part of the success of the grand event.

"Of course, the need for electricity in the WSL Krui Pro 2024 championship is important and is predicted to increase. For this reason, PLN mobilizes all its resources so that electricity is distributed in good and reliable conditions in quantity or quality," he concluded.

For so many times, Tanjung Setia Beach in West Coast Regency has been appointed as the location for the WSL Krui Pro 2024 World Surfing competition.

A beach that has large and high waves is an attraction for 263 surfers from 20 countries who will be involved in enlivening the grand event.
