PT PLN (Persero) has emphasised that there has been no increase in\nelectricity tariffs for the April\u2013June 2026 period, in accordance with\nthe regulations set by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources\n(ESDM).<\/p>\n
\u201cPLN confirms that there is no increase in electricity tariffs,\u201d\nstated Gregorius Adi Trianto, Executive Vice President of Corporate\nCommunications and TJSL at PT PLN (Persero), when contacted in Jakarta\non Tuesday. This statement serves as a response to widespread\ninformation circulating on social media regarding complaints about\nrising electricity bills.<\/p>\n
Several users on the social media platform X have complained of\nelectricity bills increasing by up to 100 per cent, accompanied by a\nsurge in total energy consumption, despite claiming there have been no\nchanges in usage patterns or the addition of new electronic appliances.\nThis led to allegations that PLN had raised electricity tariffs.<\/p>\n
\u201cPLN always implements electricity tariff policies as determined by\nthe Government through the Ministry of ESDM. For the April\u2013June 2026\nperiod, electricity tariffs remain fixed and have not changed from the\nprevious period,\u201d said Greg.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, Greg explained that the increase in bills experienced by\nsome customers may be influenced by changes in electricity consumption\npatterns due to factors such as weather conditions, rising temperatures,\nand increased household activities. \u201cIncreased activity at home leads to\nhigher daily use of electrical appliances by customers,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Greg noted that members of the public can independently monitor their\ntoken purchase history and electricity bill payments. This monitoring\ncan be conducted via the PLN Mobile application to help users understand\nand manage their electricity usage more efficiently.<\/p>\n
To check usage history through PLN Mobile, users can open the\napplication and select the \u2018Token and Payment\u2019 menu on the main page.\nUsers can then click the \u2018Add Customer ID\u2019 button (if not already\nregistered), enter their Customer ID, and select \u2018Usage History\u2019 for\npost-paid customers or \u2018Token Purchase History\u2019 for pre-paid\ncustomers.<\/p>\n
\u201cPLN also continues to urge customers to use electricity safely and\nwisely, including by regularly checking domestic electrical\ninstallations and unplugging unused electronic devices to keep energy\nconsumption under control,\u201d Greg concluded.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/pln-confirms-no-increase-in-electricity-tariffs-1780870827", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
