JAKARTA - PT PLN (Persero) continues to strengthen the electricity network and supply in Bali, which often hosts various international meetings.

General Manager of PT PLN (Persero) Bali Distribution Parent Unit, I Wayan Udayana explained in terms of power supply, currently the generating capacity is in sufficient condition with a capable power of 980 megawatts (MW), the estimated peak load is 796 MW, so there is a power reserve of up to 184 megawatts.

"On the upstream side, namely the generator is in a safe condition, we also maintain the reliability of the electricity supply by preparing an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and generator," he added.

He also stated that, these important events are supported by PLN with standard operating procedures and avoid maintenance activities before or after the activity period, so there will be no blackouts.

"PLN ensures that the operation control in the entire Bali sub-system electricity system can run well in terms of generation, transmission, and distribution, to secure the distribution of electricity for various important events that are currently taking place," said Udayana.

If there is an urgent need to carry out maintenance during this standby period, PLN will deploy a work team in a voltage state, so that maintenance can be carried out while the network remains on voltage or without blackouts.

The team, according to him, has been trained and professional. He said to support this activity, PLN deploys at least 50 personnel at each event, so that customers feel safe and confident in PLN's resilience in overseeing the electricity supply.

Udayana added that the schedule for the implementation of both main events and side events, which totaled 91 events until November 2022, had been mapped out by PLN, so that his party ensured that PLN's ability and professionalism in overseeing international scale activities could not be doubted.

"We want to convince customers and the public that the best electricity affairs are left to PLN, because through a series of experiences, not only has the reliability of our system been tested, our team is always ready to provide the best service to customers," he said.
