JAKARTA – Electricity is vital to support hospital services and other important facilities. To keep supplies from being disrupted, PT PLN (Persero) Main Unit for South Kalimantan and Central Kalimantan regions continues to strive to maintain electricity reliability to support the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially during micro PPKM.
General Manager of PLN Central Kalimantan Tonny Bellamy said PLN's main focus is the readiness to maintain electrical reliability for handling COVID-19 patients and the process of isolating patients in hospitals.
"In addition to maintaining the reliability of electricity for 44 COVID-19 referral hospitals, PLN also maintains electricity supply for the oxygen industry in South Kalimantan, one of which is PT Samator Gas Industri," said Tonny Bellamy in a statement received in Banjarbaru, South Kalimantan, Saturday, July 10.
PLN will deploy all of its strength to ensure reliability and minimize the potential for electrical disturbances, even if it is only a blink, as a form of commitment to support the handling of COVID-19 in Central Kalimantan.
"Currently, the availability of electricity supply in South Kalimantan is sufficient, with a power reserve of 555 MW, and that figure is more than sufficient to support the operation of health facilities in South Kalimantan and Central Kalimantan," he said.
In addition to ensuring sufficient electricity supply, PLN also takes several anticipatory steps to ensure the reliability of the oxygen industry's electricity is maintained, including preventive measures to check the network, install protection so that the potential for external disturbances can be reduced.
General Manager of PT Samator Gas Industri for the Central Kalimantan Region, Yudhy Hermawan, thanked PLN for the support from PLN in maintaining the electricity supply so that production remains safe during the pandemic. By maintaining the electricity supply, the oxygen production process will also be maintained for the continuity of supply to the hospital.
"Thank you PLN for the support that has been given, of course with a guarantee of a safe electricity supply, the production process will not be disrupted so that the supply to hospitals remains safe, such as increasing the reliability of electricity without flickering by installing transformers, lightning rods and others that will ensure supply security " said Yudhi.
