        "content": "<p>PT PLN Unit Induk Wilayah Papua dan Papua Barat (UIWP2B) has\nannounced that 1,067 customers across Papua have utilised a 50 per cent\ndiscount on power upgrade costs. The General Manager of PT PLN (Persero)\nfor the Papua and West Papua region, Roberth Rumsaur, stated in Jayapura\non Sunday that this result allowed PLN to surpass its initial target,\nreaching a final achievement of 119 per cent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe success in serving 1,067 customers demonstrates that the\ncommunity has responded positively to PLN\u2019s steps in providing easier\naccess to energy,\u201d he said. According to Rumsaur, this reflects a high\nlevel of awareness among the people of Papua regarding the importance of\nreliable electrical energy to support daily activities and businesses.\n\u201cWith this fulfilment of energy sufficiency, we hope there will no\nlonger be disruptions in the electricity supply due to overloads or\nhindered activities caused by power limitations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He explained that the power upgrade promotion, themed \u201cMeiLAJU LEBIH\nTERANG\u201d, concluded on 2 June, having been launched specifically to\ncommemorate National Awakening Day. The promotion was aimed at\nsingle-phase customers with initial capacities ranging from 450 VA to\n5,500 VA who wished to increase their capacity up to 7,700 VA.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCurrently, the electricity system in Papua itself is in an optimal\ncondition, where the supply capacity is recorded at 440.5 megawatts\n(MW), while the peak load is only 302.5 MW. This means there is a power\nreserve of 138 MW, or 31 per cent, which is sufficient to maintain\nsupply stability,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that despite this, the company urges the public to use\nelectricity wisely and safely to avoid the risk of short circuits due to\noverloading. \u201cWith the conclusion of this programme, we are committed to\ncontinuously maintaining the reliability of the energy supply and urge\nthe community to continue optimising various electricity service\nfeatures through the PLN Mobile application,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>",
