JAKARTA \u2013 PT PLN (Persero) President Director Darmawan Prasodjo met\nwith President Prabowo Subianto at the Presidential Palace complex in\nJakarta on Monday (22\/6\/2026) to report on the recovery of the\nelectricity system in Java following rolling blackouts last week.<\/p>\n
Darmawan said the condition of the Java power system began improving\non Sunday (21\/6\/2026), allowing the company to minimise the rotating\noutages. \u201cWe would like to convey the good news that the rotating\nblackouts that occurred last week in Java have been minimised, as the\nelectricity system condition in Java started to improve yesterday,\nSunday,\u201d Darmawan stated before the meeting.<\/p>\n
He explained the improvement was supported by the normalisation of\nprimary energy supplies that meet the specifications required by power\nplants, both those owned by PLN and independent power producers (IPPs).\nThis has strengthened the resilience of the Java electricity system.<\/p>\n
Additionally, one large power plant owned by a partner, which had\npreviously experienced technical issues, was successfully restored and\nre-synchronised with the Java grid on Sunday night. The plant is now\nsupplying electricity back into the system, helping to bolster power\nreserves.<\/p>\n
Darmawan noted that two large partner-owned power plants had\npreviously suffered technical disruptions and were disconnected from the\ngrid. PLN and its plant partners immediately undertook repairs. \u201cLast\nweek we immediately deployed a PLN team together with our partners to\ncarry out repairs. There is good news that last night one large power\nplant was successfully restored and synchronised with the electricity\nsystem in Java and has begun supplying power to the Java system,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n
PLN also apologised to the public for the inconvenience caused by the\nrolling blackouts the previous week. In addition to accelerating plant\nrecovery, the company is improving the governance of the primary energy\nsupply chain and strengthening the reliability of power plants owned by\nboth PLN and its IPP partners.<\/p>\n
Darmawan said PLN continues to monitor the electricity system\ncondition 24 hours a day to maintain supply reliability in Java. He also\nexpressed appreciation for the government\u2019s support, particularly from\nthe Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, as well as the cooperation\nof suppliers and power plant partners in safeguarding the national\nelectricity supply. \u201cWe ask for prayers and support from the entire\ncommunity so that all our efforts can be facilitated and run smoothly.\nWe appreciate the support from the government and the cohesiveness of\nall our partners so that together we can maintain the reliability of\nenergy provision going forward,\u201d Darmawan said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/pln-reports-rotating-blackouts-in-java-easing-after-system-recovery-1782111184", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
