        "summary": "State electricity firm PLN is executing a five-year roadmap to connect 10,068 remote sites in 5,700 villages to the power grid by 2029, with 1,433 locations already completed. The initiative, championed by President Prabowo Subianto, aims to deliver social justice to roughly 735,000 households that have remained without electricity for 80 years since independence. PLN has allocated trillions of rupiah across annual budgets and is employing a mix of solar panels, medium-voltage and low-voltage networks, supported by a Geographical Information System for planning.",

PLN President Director Darmawan Prasodjo stated that the\nvillage electricity programme targets 10,000 locations in remote parts\nof Indonesia through to 2029 and has so far completed 1,433 sites across\nvarious provinces. Speaking during a hearing with Commission XII of the\nIndonesian House of Representatives in Jakarta on Thursday, Darmawan\nsaid the programme targets a total of 10,068 locations across 5,700\nvillages situated in various remote areas of Indonesia. He noted that\nthe programme represents the government\u2019s effort to deliver social\njustice for all citizens, given that these locations have remained\nwithout electricity for 80 years since Indonesia\u2019s independence.\nDarmawan said the initiative, championed by President Prabowo Subianto,\ntargets approximately 735,000 households nationwide. The total 10,068\nlocations have been divided across the years 2025, 2026, 2027, 2028, and\n2029. Darmawan added that the village electricity provision is divided\nby capacity into solar panels, medium-voltage networks of 20,000 volts,\nlow-voltage networks of 220 volts, and distribution substations.\nFurthermore, PLN has also deployed a Geographical Information System,\nwhich includes cost estimates and budget allocations necessary to ensure\nthe programme runs effectively. Darmawan concluded that the company\ninterprets the President\u2019s directive on social justice for all\nIndonesians not merely as words on paper but as something to be built\ninto a tangible reality\u2014light across the entire archipelago. He added\nthat the village electricity programme under the 2025 budget targets\n1,516 locations, and as of 27 June 2026, 1,433 locations have been\ncompleted, with the remainder in the process of completion under a\nbudget allocation of Rp3.6 trillion. For the 2026 fiscal year, phase one\ncovers 1,520 locations with a budget of Rp4.15 trillion, while phase two\ncovers 1,272 locations with a budget of Rp3.36 trillion.<\/p>",
