        "content": "<p>A power outage struck several areas in Bekasi, West Java, with\nresidents complaining that the unannounced blackout disrupted their work\nactivities. Yeni Lestari (29), a resident of Pengasinan, Rawalumbu\nDistrict, East Bekasi, said her home had been without electricity from\naround 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. She claimed she had not received prior\nnotification from state electricity firm PLN about the outage. \u201cThe\npower went out at my house around 5 p.m. I thought my prepaid token had\nrun out because the Wi-Fi was down, but it turned out to be a blackout.\nIt only came back on around 8 p.m.,\u201d Yeni told reporters on Wednesday.\n\u201cSo far there hasn\u2019t been any notification, or maybe there was, but I\nmissed the information. I actually found out about the simultaneous\nblackout from (social media platform) X,\u201d she added. Yeni said the\noutage impacted her work activities, as the power cut also knocked out\nthe Wi-Fi network. She was also hampered in recharging her devices used\nfor work. \u201cFirstly, the Wi-Fi went down. So I had to use my own mobile\ndata, whereas at home I should be saving money,\u201d said Yeni. \u201cAnd it\ntroubled me while working because my mobile phone battery was low, my\npower bank was drained, and the electricity took a long time to come\nback on,\u201d she continued. PLN later explained the blackout experienced by\nresidents in Rawalumbu, East Bekasi. A company representative stated\nthat rolling blackouts had been occurring in a number of areas in Bekasi\nsince the morning. \u201cFrom around midday until the afternoon, there were\noutages in that area, and we have checked that these outages are related\nto efforts to improve the electricity supply for the community. PLN is\ncarrying out reinforcement and maintenance activities on the electricity\ndistribution network, which requires supply management or load\nmanagement,\u201d said a PLN call centre officer. The Rawalumbu area of\nBekasi is known to fall under the Bantargebang Customer Service Unit\n(ULP). PLN stated that rolling blackouts in the area had been occurring\nsince Wednesday morning with varying durations. \u201cFor the outages, we\nchecked that within the Bantargebang ULP specifically, they varied: some\nat 9 a.m., some at 10 a.m., some came back on at 11 a.m., and there were\nalso those that only came back on at 8 p.m.,\u201d said the PLN call centre\nofficer.<\/p>",
