Latest: Electricity Tariffs per kWh for 13 PLN Customer Groups Remain Unchanged
The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) has determined that PLN electricity tariffs for the period July to September 2026 will not increase. The decision was taken to maintain national economic stability amid dynamic global conditions.
Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Bahlil Lahadalia stated that the policy represents the government’s commitment to preserving public purchasing power. Additionally, the unchanged tariffs are expected to support the competitiveness of the industrial sector and provide certainty for business actors.
‘In order to maintain public purchasing power and support national economic stability, the government has decided that electricity tariffs for the Third Quarter of 2026 will remain unchanged,’ Bahlil explained in an official statement.
In accordance with Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Regulation Number 7 of 2024, tariff adjustments for 13 non-subsidised customer groups are actually carried out every three months based on changes in four macroeconomic parameters: the rupiah exchange rate, the Indonesian Crude Price (ICP), inflation, and the Reference Coal Price (HBA).
For the third quarter of 2026, the parameters used are the realisations from the February-April 2026 period, which recorded an exchange rate of Rp16,959.32 per US dollar, an ICP of US$96.12 per barrel, inflation of 0.21 percent, and an HBA of US$70 per tonne, in accordance with the Domestic Market Obligation (DMO) coal policy.
Although the formula indicated potential tariff changes, the government decided to maintain electricity tariffs to preserve national economic stability.
Bahlil added that, in addition to non-subsidised customers, this policy also applies to 24 subsidised customer groups, which are also confirmed to experience no change in electricity tariffs. These include social customers, low-income households, small businesses, and Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs).
‘The government is committed to providing reliable, affordable, and equitable electricity. This fixed tariff policy is part of efforts to maintain economic stability while ensuring sustainable electricity services,’ Bahlil said.
