JAKARTA - The Governor of West Java, Ridwan Kamil assessed that the electricity stove migration program will continue to receive rejection from the community. This is because the power needed for electric stoves in the market is still too high. "The electricity supply in this market is still very high. So it's like wanting to cook indomie but having to turn off electricity for houses throughout the boarding house. Now this is not popular," said Ridwan when met at the Holiday Inn Hotel, Pasteur, Bandung, West Java, Monday, October 3. According to Ridwan, this program can be realized as long as new technology has been found that makes the power of the electric stove watt lower. This includes technology that makes the cooking process not too long. "That's why before there was low-power electric stove technology, this campaign was a bit difficult (to materialize)," said Emil. Meanwhile, said Emil, in terms of energy sources, it was actually excessive. Even the electricity stove migration program departed from PLN which was oversupply. "So our electricity sources are abundant, so yesterday there was a discourse to make an electric stove (migration program)," he said. As previously reported, PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (Persero) or PLN has officially stopped testing the program for diverting the 3-kilogram LPG stove to an electric stove. Deputy Minister of SOEs I, Pahala Nugraha Mansury said that the 3 kg LPG convention trial program to the electric induction stove had been stopped by PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (Persero) or PLN. Pahala said, this decision was in accordance with the agreement at the National Coordination Meeting (Rakornas). "Yes, that's more or less (stopped)," he said when met in Sarinah, Jakarta, Wednesday, September 28. Furthermore, Pahala said that there had been no further explanation whether the 3kg LPG gas stove conversion program to the electric stove would be resumed. "It seems that we have no plans to continue to use the induction stove," he explained. Regarding the fate of the electric stove that has already been given to the community, Pahala admitted that he did not know for sure. He advised to ask PLN further.
