PLN facilitates 9,810 homebound travellers from Jakarta through Free Mudik 2026 programme
Jakarta — PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) Persero, the state-owned electricity distribution unit in Greater Jakarta, has facilitated 9,810 residents to return to their hometowns through the Safe Mudik, Sharing Hope 2026 programme.
“Overall, for the Jakarta region, PLN supports the departure of 9,810 homebound travellers through the Safe Mudik, Sharing Hope 2026 programme,” said General Manager of PLN’s Greater Jakarta Distribution Unit Moch. Andy Adchaminoerdin following the departure ceremony at PLN’s Greater Jakarta office in Central Jakarta on Tuesday.
Of this total, 8,764 travellers departed by train from Pasar Senen Station, whilst a further 1,046 used buses from several departure points.
Bus departure points are located at strategic locations, including the Gelora Bung Karno (GBK) area, the PLN Greater Jakarta office, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), and the Ministry of Labour.
The 9,810 homebound travellers from Jakarta form part of the company’s commitment to providing excellent service to the public.
According to Andy, the programme aims to provide safe and comfortable travel for residents whilst reducing accident risks during the Eid exodus. “Through the Safe Mudik, Sharing Hope programme, PLN wishes to ensure that residents can return to their hometowns safely and comfortably. This is also a tangible manifestation of PLN’s commitment to serving the public, particularly during important occasions such as Eid al-Fitr,” he explained.
He further noted that 2026 marks the sixth year PLN has implemented the free mudik programme. The initiative supports the directive from the State-Owned Enterprises (SOE) Ministry and related authorities for all state enterprises to collaborate in providing safe transportation access for the public during the Eid holiday period.
From PLN’s Greater Jakarta departure point, five bus units have been dispatched to various destinations, including Wonosobo, Pacitan, Padang, and Bandung, with two units serving the Padang route.
One of the deployed fleets is an electric bus operating on the Jakarta-Bandung route. “The use of electric vehicles is part of PLN’s efforts to promote clean energy-based living or green lifestyle to the public,” Andy said.
Beyond providing transport facilities, PLN also ensures reliable electricity supply at various mudik activity points. PLN has prepared a primary power supply of 1,250 kVA supported by an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system with 100 kVA capacity in the GBK area.
Additionally, PLN ensures reliable electricity supply at other important locations, including Pasar Senen Station, the ESDM Ministry, and the Labour Ministry, to ensure all mudik activities proceed smoothly without disruption.
Andy stressed that PLN’s role extends beyond electricity provision, with efforts to introduce various programmes that provide direct benefits to the public. “PLN is committed to providing reliable electricity at every important point, so that residents can experience safe, comfortable, and joyful journeys home,” he concluded.
