        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources\n(ESDM) has set the electricity tariffs for PT PLN (Persero) for the\nSecond Quarter of 2026 (April\u2013June) to remain unchanged as a government\nmeasure to safeguard public purchasing power. \u201cThe public need not\nworry, as the Government has set the electricity tariffs for the Second\nQuarter of 2026 to remain the same,\u201d said Acting Director General of\nElectricity at the Ministry of ESDM, Tri Winarno, in an official\nstatement received in Jakarta on Wednesday. Tri explained that this\ndetermination aims to protect public purchasing power. At the same time,\nthe government urges the public to use electricity efficiently and\nwisely as part of collective efforts to support national energy\nresilience. According to Tri, the decision underwent a thorough\nevaluation of macroeconomic parameters in accordance with applicable\nregulations. Adjustments to electricity tariffs for non-subsidised\ncustomers are based on Ministry of ESDM Regulation Number 7 of 2024,\nwith periodic evaluations every three months based on changes in\nexchange rates, Indonesian Crude Price\/ICP (benchmark oil price),\ninflation, and Coal Reference Price (HBA). For the Second Quarter of\n2026, the parameters used are realisations from the period November 2025\nto January 2026, namely an exchange rate of Rp16,743.46 per US dollar,\nICP of 62.78 US dollars per barrel, inflation of 0.22 percent, and HBA\nof 70 US dollars per tonne. Although the formula indicates potential for\ntariff changes, the government has decided to maintain electricity\ntariffs to ensure national economic stability amid global dynamics. That\npolicy, according to him, also applies to subsidised customers who\ncontinue to receive unchanged tariffs. PLN President Director Darmawan\nPrasodjo stated that his company is ready to implement the government\u2019s\npolicy while ensuring the reliability of electricity supply for all\ncustomers, especially amid the dynamics and uncertainties of global\ngeopolitical conditions. \u201cAmid the dynamic global geopolitical\nconditions, we appreciate the Government\u2019s step in maintaining\nelectricity tariff stability for the Second Quarter of 2026. This policy\nprovides certainty for the public and the business world, and\ndemonstrates the state\u2019s presence in safeguarding purchasing power and\nnational competitiveness,\u201d said Darmawan. As the backbone of national\nelectricity, Darmawan continued, PLN is committed to maintaining the\nreliability of electricity supply from upstream to downstream, and\nensuring that electricity services remain optimal throughout Indonesia.\n\u201cPLN is ready to fully support the Government\u2019s policy by continuing to\nmaintain system reliability and expanding equitable access to\nelectricity for all people, as well as improving operational\nefficiency,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
