PLN Electricity Tariffs per kWh for 13 Customer Groups, Effective July-September 2026
The government, through the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), has decided not to raise PLN electricity tariffs for the July-September 2026 period. The policy was taken to maintain national economic stability amid continuously changing global conditions.
ESDM Minister Bahlil Lahadalia explained that the decision represents the government’s commitment to safeguarding public purchasing power. Furthermore, the move is expected to support industrial competitiveness 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 or not increase,” Bahlil stated in an official release.
In accordance with ESDM Ministerial 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 or 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 besides 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, poor households, small businesses, small industries, and Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs).
“The government is committed to delivering reliable, affordable, and equitable electricity. This fixed tariff policy is part of efforts to maintain economic stability while ensuring sustainable electricity services,” Bahlil said.
