50 Per Cent Discount on Power Capacity Increase Ideal for EV Home Charging

Jakarta – PT PLN (Persero) is leveraging the occasion of Ramadan 1447 Hijriah to introduce a special promotion for household power capacity upgrades.

The programme, titled “Ramadan Light, Peaceful Eid,” offers a 50 per cent discount on connection fees for customers wishing to increase their electricity capacity at home, including electric vehicle owners seeking to install home charging facilities.

The promotion applies to single-phase customers with initial capacity of 450 VA to 5,500 VA who wish to upgrade to a maximum of 7,700 VA.

Adi Priyanto, Director of Retail and Business at PLN, stated that the programme represents PLN’s commitment to supporting public comfort during the Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr period.

“During Ramadan, household electricity demand tends to increase as domestic activities rise,” Adi said in an official statement on 28 February 2026.

For electric vehicle owners, upgrading capacity to 7,700 VA offers an attractive option to ensure optimal and safe charging of vehicles at home, particularly when undertaken during evening hours when household activities also peak.

Adi explained that customers need only make token purchases or pay electricity bills through the PLN Mobile application. Following this, customers will receive an e-voucher for power capacity upgrade, which can be claimed through the promotion feature.

“The subsequent connection process will be carried out by PLN staff in accordance with applicable Service Quality Standards,” he said.

For context, a household customer with initial capacity of 450 VA wishing to upgrade to 7,700 VA would typically incur connection fees of Rp 7,025,250. Through this programme, customers pay only Rp 3,512,625.

For a home with initial capacity of 2,200 VA upgrading to 7,700 VA, the cost is Rp 2,664,750, down from the previous Rp 5,329,500.
