JAKARTA - The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) through the Directorate General of Electricity now requires an Electricity Installation Identity Number (NIDI) as one of the requirements for the issuance of an Operational Eligibility Certificate (SLO) for electrical installation services.

This is necessary so that electrical installations can be ensured to operate safely. This is because the NIDI contains the location and date of completion of electrical installations, business entities for installing electrical installations, specifications for installed components, and drawings of electrical installations.

The Head of the Bureau of Communication, Public Information Services, and Cooperation (KLIK) Agung Pribadi said that NIDI was issued by the Director General of Electricity for electrical power installations that had been completed or built by business actors providing electricity services (IUJPTL) who had business licenses in the field of electricity. electricity.

"NIDI is a requirement for the issuance of SLO which ensures that electrical installations installed or built are truly safe. The obligation to have NIDI is carried out to maintain electricity safety, because the issuance of NIDI requires a report on construction and installation work from a business entity that already has an IUJPTL," said Agung , quoted Friday February 4th.

In addition, the existence of NIDI makes it easier for the public to obtain safe installations and guarantees to obtain details of their installations.

Agung also said that there was no tariff charged for the issuance of NIDI. If there is a tariff that arises, it is the cost for construction and installation services or the cost of supervision (identification, field verification, and evaluation of installed electrical installations) by the IUJPTL holder installer.

"In its implementation, the NIDI numbering by the Directorate General of Electricity is free of charge. However, the term NIDI tariff often arises in the community. In fact, the tariff is the tariff for construction and installation services, or the supervision of electrical installations by licensed installers," explained Agung.

As is known, the implementation of NIDI is based on the Regulation of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Number 5 of 2021 concerning Standards for Business Activities and Products in the Implementation of Risk-Based Business Licensing in the Energy and Mineral Resources Sector, then Regulation of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Number 11 of 2021 concerning Implementation of Electricity Business, and Regulation of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources.
