        "summary": "The Indonesian government is accelerating efforts to ensure 100 per cent electrification across the archipelago by 2029. Under a mandate from President Prabowo Subianto, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources is implementing targeted programmes to provide electricity to remote areas and isolated regions.",
        "content": "<p>The government continues to accelerate the equitable distribution of\nelectricity access for communities in all corners of Indonesia. This\nstep is part of a mandate from President Prabowo Subianto to the\nMinistry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) to ensure that no region\nremains isolated from energy access by 2029.<\/p>\n<p>The Spokesperson for the Ministry of ESDM, Dwi Anggia, revealed that\none of the primary instruments for achieving this target is through the\nRural Electricity (Lisdes) programme. This programme is focused on\nreaching communities that have previously never enjoyed any electricity\nservices.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the same time, there is a massive task that the government must\ncomplete and continue to undertake, which is ensuring that electricity\nis present for communities that have hitherto not even received\nelectricity access,\u201d said Dwi Anggia in a press release alongside the\nIndonesian Government Communication Agency (Bakom) on Tuesday\n(10\/09\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Based on government data, the challenges in fulfilling electricity\naccess remain significant. In 2025, it was recorded that 10,068\nlocations still lacked electricity access. Meanwhile, entering 2026, the\ngovernment has identified 2,065 points with a total of 173,853 potential\ncustomers in urgent need of electricity services.<\/p>\n<p>Dwi ensured that these locations will receive electricity supply\ngradually. The government aims for all these points to be fully\nelectrified by 2029, in order to achieve a 100 per cent electrification\nratio.<\/p>\n<p>Given Indonesia\u2019s diverse geographical conditions, the government is\nimplementing three different approaches in providing electricity\ninfrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>Dwi emphasised that this diversification of technology is crucial to\nensure that energy provision is precisely targeted and meets the\nspecific needs of communities in each region. \u201cThis is part of the\ngovernment\u2019s efforts to accelerate the achievement of a 100 per cent\nelectrification ratio by 2029,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n<p>Through the Rural Electricity (Lisdes) programme and the New\nElectricity Connection Assistance (BPBL) programme, residents in remote\nareas can now enjoy lighting that was once merely a dream.<\/p>",
