From Warta Kota

In response to a news story published in Warta Kota of April 30, 2001 under the title of PLN stops increase of power capacity to poor subscribers, allow us to clarify as follows:

On April 30, 2001, a subscriber living somewhere in Utan Kayu made an application for a power capacity increase from 450 VA to 900 VA. The officer in charge suggested that he complete a form so that he could be added to the waiting list in the state electricity company's (PLN) Rawamangun office. Unfortunately, he did not do so because he did want to wait or be included on the waiting list.

It must be understood that PLN has only limited capacity to fulfill the demands for power capacity increases in the category of subscribers with 450VA/900VA capacity. Applicants must therefore be patient. In 2001 alone there are 31 such requests while 69 subscribers are still on the waiting list up to December, 2000.

PLN has tried to act wisely towards all subscribers and has never intended to practice discrimination when rendering services to anybody in any situation.

Therefore, we would like to call on all subscribers to directly contact the officer in charge when they need a particular service from PLN. Brokers must be avoided as otherwise you might create your own problems.
