PLN Confirms Power Supply Has Re-entered the Java Island Grid System

PT PLN (Persero) has reported the operational recovery of one of its private partner power plants (Independent Power Producer/IPP) that had previously experienced technical disturbances. This has resulted in the electricity supply re-entering the Java Island power system to ensure power reliability for the public.

PLN President Director Darmawan Prasodjo explained that the technical team successfully synchronised the large power plant with the national grid on Sunday night. He personally monitored the normalisation process at the load dispatch centre to ensure that the stability of primary energy distribution remained maintained according to plan.

“One of the large power plants that experienced disturbances has been successfully restored and has synchronised with the Java Island electricity system, and has begun supplying electricity to increase the reliability of the electricity system in Java,” he stated in an official statement on Monday (22/06/2026).

The success of this synchronisation has led to a reduction in the intensity of rolling blackouts that had occurred in several areas over the past week. The company ensured that the supply of primary energy raw materials is currently flowing smoothly in accordance with the operational machine specification standards.

“The supply of primary energy that meets the specifications required by the power plant has been running smoothly. Thus, efforts to strengthen the power plant are proceeding well,” added Darmawan.

PLN also expressed appreciation for the Government’s support through the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) in efforts to strengthen the reliability of the electricity system.

“We express our deepest appreciation for the government’s support, in this case the Ministry of ESDM, especially to the Minister of ESDM, Mr Bahlil Lahadalia, for his support and coordination so that the entire electricity ecosystem can work together solidly,” said Darmawan.

The company is committed to continuously deploying technical teams to monitor the electricity system repairs 24 hours a day on a sustainable basis. PLN also apologised for the service disruptions and load management that had inconvenienced the public in several regions.

“We also wish to offer our sincerest apologies for the inconvenience felt by the community due to the rolling blackouts that occurred last week,” he concluded.
