Announcement! PLN Offers 50% Discount for Electricity Power Upgrade

PT PLN (Persero) has introduced a 50% discount programme for electricity power upgrades called “Power Up Real, Listrik Aman Kerja Lancar” to support the adoption of Work From Home (WFH) in society following the government’s policy on the matter. The promotion, running from 15 to 28 April 2026, is aimed at low-voltage single-phase customers with initial capacities from 450 volt ampere (VA) to 5,500 VA who wish to increase their power up to 7,700 VA. Director of Retail and Commerce at PLN, Adi Priyanto, stated that the WFH momentum has increased household electricity needs. Therefore, the company is presenting this programme to provide comfort to the public, enabling them to carry out activities optimally from home. “Through this programme, PLN aims to provide ease in upgrading electricity power for customers at a lower cost, so that the public can carry out activities at home, especially WFH, comfortably without worrying about power shortages,” Adi said in a press release received on Thursday (16/4/2025). For example, a customer with an initial capacity of 1,300 VA who wants to upgrade to 7,700 VA only needs to pay Rp3,100,800, or save 50 percent compared to the normal cost of Rp6,201,600. Furthermore, Adi explained that the mechanism for this programme is fully carried out through PLN Mobile. For prepaid customers, they simply need to make at least one token purchase transaction, while postpaid customers need to pay their electricity bills. After the transaction is successful, customers will receive an e-voucher for the power upgrade discount in the “Reward” menu on PLN Mobile or via the registered email. Subsequently, customers can enter the e-voucher code when applying for a power upgrade request on PLN Mobile. After payment verification, the local PLN unit will immediately process the application according to applicable regulations. “The public need not worry because the process of applying for the power upgrade discount is quite easy and quick, only through the PLN Mobile app,” Adi said. Adi added that this promotion applies to customers registered before 1 April 2026 and who have settled all electricity bills or other obligations. He also invited all customers to optimise this power upgrade discount programme. “We invite the public to make the most of this electricity power upgrade discount promotion. So that the electricity capacity at home is sufficient to support WFH activities and daily productivity,” Adi concluded.
