PT PLN (Persero) has successfully maintained the smooth running of\nworship and community activities during the Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr\n(RAFI) period in 2026 with a reliable electricity supply. PLN\u2019s\nPresident Director, Darmawan Prasodjo, stated that all personnel were on\nfull alert to ensure stable electricity services during the Eid holiday\nseason in 2026.<\/p>\n
From the supply side, PLN recorded a national installed capacity of\n51.37 gigawatts (GW), with a peak load of 34.77 GW. These figures\nindicate that power reserves remain more than adequate.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe electricity alert status will continue until 31 March 2026, with\nall PLN units ensuring that the system remains safe, stable, and under\ncontrol, particularly at various priority locations,\u201d Darmawan said in a\nstatement quoted on Tuesday (24\/3).<\/p>\n
A total of 4,429 priority locations were the focus of electricity\nsupply safeguards during the Eid al-Fitr period, including 2,044 places\nof worship, 706 transport points, 439 crowded areas, 426 shopping\ncentres, and 814 hospitals.<\/p>\n
\u201cPriority locations were monitored as safe and under control without\nany electricity disruptions. We continue to conduct intensive monitoring\nso that the public can carry out activities during this Eid al-Fitr\nmoment smoothly,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
From eastern Indonesia, the General Manager of PLN\u2019s West Nusa\nTenggara (NTB) Regional Unit, Sri Heny Purwanti, stated that the\nelectricity system in NTB during the Eid al-Fitr period was in prime\ncondition.<\/p>\n
On the Lombok system on Lombok Island, the load during prayers was\nrecorded at 326 megawatts (MW). Meanwhile, the system\u2019s capacity reached\n380 MW with a power reserve of 54 MW.<\/p>\n
Then, on the Tambora system on Sumbawa Island, the peak load reached\n139 MW with a capacity of 188 MW. Thus, a power reserve of 49 MW was\nstill available.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith the available power reserves, the NTB electricity system is\nsufficient to meet the public\u2019s electricity needs during the Eid al-Fitr\ncelebrations, including during Eid prayers,\u201d Sri said.<\/p>\n
The same sentiment was expressed by the General Manager of PLN\u2019s\nSouth and Central Kalimantan Distribution Unit (Kalselteng), Iwan\nSoelistijono. He emphasised that the electricity system in his region\noperated optimally during the Eid al-Fitr celebrations.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlhamdulillah, the Eid al-Fitr 1447 Hijriah prayers across the\nKalselteng region proceeded smoothly. Our electricity system operated\noptimally and is still supported by adequate power reserves,\u201d Iwan\nsaid.<\/p>\n
This success is also reflected in the reliable electricity conditions\nin West Java. The General Manager of PLN\u2019s Banten Distribution Unit,\nMuhammad Joharifin, stated that this achievement resulted from\ncomprehensive preparedness since the beginning of the RAFI alert\nperiod.<\/p>\n
