We appreciate the\ncommitment of the Ministry of ESDM and PLN in continuously promoting\nvillage electrification equity, so that communities in places like\nSungai Jeruju can finally enjoy electricity,\u201d Dewi stated in a written\nremark on Monday, 4 May 2026.<\/p>\n<p>According to her, the presence of electricity in the area does not\nonly bring lighting but also serves as a starting point for enhancing\ncommunity economic activities, easier access to education, and overall\nimprovement in quality of life.<\/p>\n<p>The Golkar Party politician emphasised that the village\nelectrification programme is part of the government\u2019s strategic policy\nthat needs to be continuously expanded, especially for areas that have\nlong faced energy access limitations due to geographical conditions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCommission XII of the DPR RI will continue to monitor to ensure this\nprogramme runs consistently and reaches more remote areas. Energy equity\nbecomes an important foundation in ensuring equitable development\nthroughout Indonesia,\u201d she added.<\/p>",
