        "content": "<p>PT PLN (Persero) is pushing Institut Teknologi PLN (ITPLN) to become\na globally competitive energy transition campus. PLN\u2019s CEO Darmawan\nPrasodjo conveyed this during the Halal Bihalal for Eid al-Fitr 1447\nHijriah and the Thanksgiving for ITPLN\u2019s 28th Anniversary on Wednesday\n(1\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>PLN views the increasing age of ITPLN as necessitating a\nstrengthening of its role as a centre for education and development in\nthe electricity sector. This step is deemed essential so that ITPLN can\nplay a larger role in developing sustainable energy and preparing human\nresources for the energy sector.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt this advancing age, may ITPLN further strengthen its role as a\ncentre for education and development of globally competitive electricity\ntechnology,\u201d said Darmawan in a short message delivered directly to\nITPLN\u2019s Rector, quoted on Thursday (2\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the campus must not only serve as an academic space\nbut also as the birthplace of the next generation ready to address\nenergy sector challenges. ITPLN is seen as having a strategic position\nin preparing the talents needed amid major changes in the electricity\nsector.<\/p>\n<p>Darmawan also hopes that ITPLN continues to maintain its development\ndirection in line with the vision of becoming an excellent higher\neducation institution. This focus is considered relevant to the national\nenergy transition agenda, which is now a major concern in the\nelectricity sector.<\/p>\n<p>ITPLN Rector Prof Iwa Garniwa welcomes the message from PLN\u2019s CEO as\nmoral encouragement for the entire academic community. He considers the\ntrust from PLN must be responded to through measured and consistent\ninstitutional work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is an appreciation as well as a challenge for us. The hopes\nfrom PLN\u2019s CEO must be realised together,\u201d said Iwa.<\/p>\n<p>He invites the entire campus ranks to utilise the momentum of Ramadan\nand Eid al-Fitr to strengthen commitment to building the institution.\nFor ITPLN, strengthening campus quality cannot be separated from work\nculture, togetherness, and seriousness in preparing for the next\nleap.<\/p>\n<p>In his reflection, Iwa likens ITPLN\u2019s age of 28 years to the\neducational phase approaching the end of doctoral or S3 studies. This\nanalogy is used to emphasise that ITPLN is now in an important phase\ntowards international standards.<\/p>\n<p>He assesses that the coming year will be a crucial period for ITPLN\nto level up. Strengthening academic quality, institutional capacity, and\ncampus reputation become homework that must be completed.<\/p>",
