PLN Offers 50% Discount on Power Upgrade to Support WFH Policy
The momentum of WFH has increased household electricity needs. Makassar (ANTARA) - PT PLN (Persero) has introduced the 50% discount programme for electricity power upgrades “Power Up Real, Listrik Aman Kerja Lancar” to support the implementation of Work From Home (WFH) in society following the government’s policy on the matter.
The promotion, running from 15 to 28 April 2026, is aimed at low-voltage single-phase customers with initial capacities from 450 volt ampere (VA) to 5,500 VA who wish to increase their power up to 7,700 VA.
PLN Retail and Commerce Director Adi Priyanto stated in Makassar on Thursday that the WFH momentum has increased household electricity needs.
To that end, the company has launched this programme to provide comfort to society so they can carry out activities optimally from home.
“Through this programme, PLN wants to provide ease in increasing electricity power for customers at a lower cost, so that society can carry out activities at home, especially WFH, comfortably without worrying about power shortages,” said Adi.
For example, a customer with an initial capacity of 1,300 VA who wants to increase to 7,700 VA only needs to pay Rp3,100,800, or save 50% compared to the normal cost of Rp6,201,600.
Furthermore, Adi explained that the mechanism of this programme is fully carried out through PLN Mobile. For prepaid customers, it is sufficient to make at least one token purchase transaction, while postpaid customers by paying the electricity bill.
After the transaction is successful, customers will receive an e-voucher for the power upgrade discount in the “Reward” menu on PLN Mobile or via the registered email.
Subsequently, customers can enter the e-voucher code when applying for a power increase request on PLN Mobile. After payment verification, the local PLN unit will immediately process the request according to applicable regulations.
“Society doesn’t need to worry because the power upgrade discount application process is quite easy and quick only through the PLN Mobile app,” said Adi.
Adi added that this promotion applies to customers registered before 1 April 2026 and who have paid all electricity bills or other obligations. He also invited all customers to optimise this power upgrade discount programme.
“We invite society to make the most of this power upgrade discount promotion. So that the electricity power at home is sufficient to support WFH activities and daily productivity,” Adi concluded.
General Manager of PT PLN Sulawesi Selatan, Sulawesi Tenggara and Sulawesi Barat Distribution Main Unit (UID Sulselrabar) Edyansyah said that increased activities at home during WFH drive greater electricity power needs.
“The use of electronic devices while working from home is more intensive and lasts longer, so electricity power needs also increase. Customers can adjust those needs through the power increase service available on PLN Mobile practically,” said Edyansyah.
He added that PLN Mobile also provides various electricity services in one app, from power increases to other services.
