        "summary": "Indonesia's state electricity company PLN has attributed the rolling blackouts across Java since early June 2026 to technical disruptions at two large coal-fired power plants. The plants, owned and operated by independent power producers, have been taken offline, prompting PLN and its partners to deploy repair teams. PLN's chief executive has issued a public apology and expressed hope for a swift restoration of supply.",
        "content": "<p>The President Director of PT PLN (Persero), Darmawan Prasodjo, has\ndisclosed that two coal-fired steam power plants (PLTU) on Java Island\nexperienced technical disruptions, causing rolling blackouts across the\nisland. The rolling power outages have occurred in several regions since\nearly June 2026.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are facing challenges; there are technical constraints at two\nmajor power plants in Java owned and operated by our partners,\u201d Darmawan\nstated in a voice recording confirmed by PLN in Jakarta on Saturday\n(20\/6\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Darmawan explained that the technical disruptions experienced by the\nIndependent Power Producer (IPP) plants caused both facilities to be\ndisconnected from the Java electricity system. In response to these\nconstraints, Darmawan said that PLN, together with its power plant\npartners, has deployed teams to repair the two large PLTUs.<\/p>\n<p>Darmawan expressed hope that the repairs on the two PLTUs would\nproceed quickly and smoothly, allowing both plants to recover soon and\nresume supplying electricity to the Java power system.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce again, we sincerely apologise for the disruption that has\nresulted in rolling blackouts across Java,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
