He noted that the strong enthusiasm from different customer segments shows that electricity demand is evolving alongside increased household activities, business operations, and social and governmental functions. He affirmed PLN’s commitment to maintaining reliable electricity supply while delivering programmes that provide tangible benefits to customers.
