        "content": "<p>Palembang (ANTARA) - PT PLN Unit Induk Distribusi Sumatera Selatan,\nJambi, dan Bengkulu (UID S2JB) has recorded an 18-fold increase in\nelectric vehicle charging transactions at Public Electric Vehicle\nCharging Stations (SPKLU) over the past five years, driven by the\ngrowing number of electric vehicle (EV) users.<\/p>\n<p>PLN UID S2JB Marketing Strategy Manager Wahyu Hadi Perdana stated in\nPalembang on Wednesday that the trend of EV usage continues to show\nsignificant year-on-year growth. In 2020, the number of charging\ntransactions in the PLN UID S2JB working area was approximately 1,800\nper year, or an average of just 150 transactions per month. However, by\n2025, transactions have surged dramatically. Within the first four to\nfive months alone, charging transactions have already reached around\n14,000, averaging nearly 3,000 transactions per month.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBased on the data, from 2020 to 2026 the scale has increased by an\naverage of 18 times,\u201d he said. In response to this development, PLN is\ncontinuing to expand its support for the EV ecosystem, including through\nthe development of SPKLU infrastructure across various regions. PLN is\nalso opening investment and partnership opportunities for businesses and\ninvestors interested in collaborating on SPKLU development through a\nbusiness-to-business (B2B) cooperation scheme.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are very open to businesses and investors to jointly develop EV\ninfrastructure. The more EV users there are, the greater the need for\nSPKLU will be,\u201d he added. To support the programme, PLN is offering a\ndiscount of up to 50 percent on new home charging installation costs.\nAdditionally, customers receive a 30 percent electricity tariff\nreduction for charging conducted between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. Western\nIndonesia Time.<\/p>\n<p>These incentives represent PLN\u2019s commitment to strengthening the\nnational EV ecosystem while supporting the acceleration of a more\nenvironmentally friendly energy transition in South Sumatra, Jambi, and\nBengkulu. \u201cThe public who are already using or planning to switch to EVs\nneed not worry about the availability of charging facilities, as PLN\ncontinues to develop supporting infrastructure and provide various\nconveniences for EV users,\u201d Wahyu said.<\/p>",
