        "content": "<p>Direktur Utama (Dirut) PT PLN Darmawan Prasodjo revealed that two\nlarge power plants in Java owned by PLN\u2019s partners, or independent power\nproducers (IPP), recently experienced technical issues. One of the two\nplants has now been restored and is supplying electricity back to the\nJava grid. Darmawan explained that the supply of primary energy, which\nmeets the specification requirements of both PLN and private power\nplants, began to normalise last week. This is considered to have further\nstrengthened the resilience of the electricity system in Java. \u201cThe\nprimary energy supply that meets the specification requirements of the\nplants, both PLN and those owned by our partners (independent power\nproducers), started flowing last week and therefore strengthens the\nresilience of the electricity system in Java,\u201d Darmawan told reporters\nat the Presidential Palace complex in Jakarta on Monday (22\/6\/2026).\nDarmawan stated that on Friday (19\/6), two large power plants\nexperienced technical issues. However, one has since been repaired.\n\u201cThen on Friday we reported that two large plants owned by our partners\nexperienced technical issues and were forced to exit the system. In\nresponse, last week we immediately deployed a PLN team together with our\npartners to carry out repairs. And there is good news, last night one\nlarge plant was successfully restored and synchronised with the\nelectricity system in Java and has begun supplying power to the Java\nsystem,\u201d he said. Darmawan expressed appreciation to the government,\nparticularly Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Bahlil Lahadalia,\nfor the direction provided. He confirmed that improvements to the\ngovernance of the primary energy supply chain and the reinforcement of\nboth PLN-owned and partner-owned plants are ongoing. \u201cWe are making\nall-out efforts 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, both in monitoring and\nmapping all our efforts so that the reliability improvements of the\nelectricity system in Java can be maintained and even enhanced,\u201d he\nstated. Darmawan apologised to the public for the inconvenience\nexperienced since last week. He requested the public\u2019s support so that\nthe repair process can proceed smoothly. \u201cWe ask for prayers and support\nfrom the entire community so that our all-out efforts can be facilitated\nand run smoothly. And we greatly appreciate the support from the\ngovernment and the cohesiveness of all our partners, both suppliers and\npower plant partners, so that together we can maintain reliability and\nensure that energy supply going forward can run smoothly,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
