National Statistics Day 2026: BPS Appreciates PLN's Contribution to Strengthening Data Quality
PT PLN (Persero) has received appreciation from the Indonesian Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS RI) for its contribution to supporting the strengthening of data quality to provide increasingly accurate information. This recognition was presented through the Company/Association category award titled “Rapid Synergy for Accurate Statistics” during the 2026 National Statistics Day (HSN) celebrations in Jakarta on Saturday (26/09/2026).
PLN’s support is demonstrated through the tidying and updating of data, as well as the alignment of electricity data with data held by local governments. These efforts ensure that available information is complementary, thereby supporting planning and public services.
The Head of BPS RI, Amalia Adininggar Widyanti, stated that National Statistics Day serves as a momentum to review the role of statistics in supporting development across various sectors. “More than just commemorating a date, HSN is a momentum to reaffirm our collective awareness of the importance of statistical data for national development. Statistical data is present in every aspect of development,” said Amalia.
According to Amalia, the HSN commemoration also provides a space to appreciate parties that contribute to the national statistical ecosystem while strengthening established working relationships.
“This is a moment to provide appreciation and strengthen collaboration. Let us make this 2026 HSN a joint step towards strengthening collaboration for statistics that are increasingly high-quality, meaningful, and impactful,” said Amalia.
Responding to the award, the President Director of PLN, Darmawan Prasodjo, stated that the BPS appreciation serves as an incentive for PLN to continue strengthening the use of data in supporting the management and development of electricity services for the community.
“For us, data is not merely an administrative report, but an essential foundation in formulating policies and making the right decisions, ranging from electricity demand planning to the development of electricity services,” said Darmawan.
Darmawan emphasised that PLN will continue to strengthen data management and synergy with various parties so that the available information can provide broader benefits in supporting development needs.
“Moving forward, we are committed to maintaining the accuracy and consistency of the data we provide, such as subsidy and non-subsidy data, as well as data on the growth of electricity demand in a region. Because high-quality data is key for the government and the business world in formulating targeted policies for public welfare,” added Darmawan.
