Dasco Assures Rolling Blackouts Will Not Recur
Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives (DPR RI) Sufmi Dasco Ahmad has ensured that the rolling power outages that recently occurred in several regions will not recur in the coming weeks. This assurance was made after the DPR coordinated with various relevant agencies and institutions to discuss electricity issues that have recently come under public scrutiny.
The discussions were held alongside the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), PT PLN (Persero), the Attorney General’s Office, and the State Intelligence Agency (BIN). During the meeting, various factors triggering the electricity supply disruptions were analysed one by one to find immediate solutions.
“I, and we all, are concerned about our current situation, which is being heavily impacted. Yesterday, we held a meeting with ESDM, PLN, the Attorney General, and the Head of the State Intelligence Agency,” said Dasco during his opening remarks at the 2026 National Working Meeting of the Confederation of Indonesian Trade Unions (KSPI) in Jakarta, Tuesday (23/06/2026).
He assessed that the cross-institutional coordination efforts are beginning to show results. Consequently, the DPR is optimistic that the electricity supply condition will be more controlled compared to recent periods when rolling blackouts occurred in several areas.
“We are untangling the issues one by one, so, God willing, those power outages will not happen again in the coming weeks,” he stated.
Nevertheless, Dasco reminded that pressure from the global situation continues to shadow various sectors, including energy. Therefore, cooperation between the government, business actors, and the community is required to maintain stability and anticipate potential impacts.
“The impact of the global situation is indeed extraordinary, but if we remain united and share the same good intention to solve this together, we can prevail,” said Dasco.
He expressed hope that various potential disruptions that could affect public life could be prevented early through appropriate mitigation measures.
“Naturally, we can work together to mitigate things that we do not want to happen, which would otherwise cause hardship for our people,” he concluded.
