PT PLN (Persero) has completed the construction of a 150-kilogram High Voltage Airline (SUTT) for the South Surabaya-Kalisari region with a Domestic Component Level (TKDN) of 74.38 percent.
Along with the completion of the South Surabaya-Kalisari SUTT, PLN also completed the construction of 150 kV Kalisari Bay Couple and Bay Line South Surabaya 1 and 2 substations and 150 KV South Surabaya Bay Line Kalisari 1 and 2.
PLN President Director Darmawan Prasodjo said that the development of electricity infrastructure will increase community productivity and also encourage industry so as to contribute to the wheels of the economy in the area.
"The development of electricity infrastructure completed by PLN in this area is very important. Especially as a driver of the economic recovery of the people who were previously affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. PLN will continue to increase electricity reliability in order to spur the regional economy," said Darmawan, in an official statement, Wednesday, May 31.
In addition, Darmawan also ensures that in every infrastructure work, PLN always prioritizes domestic industrial products. This is in addition to the form of support for the government in reducing dependence on imported products, as well as to support the creation of job opportunities and saving foreign exchange.
"We will continue to improve the use of TKDN in other PLN projects to support increasing the competitiveness of the national industry as well as absorbing more domestic workforce," he said.
Meanwhile, PLN's New Renewable Project and Energy Management Director Wiluyo Kusdwiharto is optimistic that the electricity network with a track length of 10.972 kilometers (kms) consisting of 32 towers and 2 circuits will contribute to economic growth and increase the reliability of the electricity system in East Java, especially in Surabaya.
Wiluyo said, in the first quarter of 2023 economic growth in East Java grew by 4.95 percent compared to the previous year.
Then, after approximately 2 years of the COVID-19 pandemic that hit Indonesia, the economic recovery in Java is getting faster with different levels of growth.
"Reliability of the electricity system plays an important role in supporting the community's economy. During the pandemic transition to endemic, PLN is ready to be present to support East Java's economic growth," said Wiluyo.
Wiluyo added that the construction of all electricity infrastructure was successfully completed with zero accidents.
