PLN Peduli Reaches More Than 700,000 Beneficiaries Across Indonesia Throughout 2025
Jakarta, VIVA – PT PLN (Persero) continues to demonstrate its commitment to driving sustainable development by delivering economic, social, and environmental benefits for communities across Indonesia. Through its Corporate Social and Environmental Responsibility (TJSL) programme, PLN successfully reached 701,938 beneficiaries through 1,627 programmes implemented throughout 2025.
PLN President Director Darmawan Prasodjo said the company’s TJSL programmes have delivered tangible impact for communities nationwide, reaching all regions of Indonesia. The programmes also absorbed 34,408 workers and engaged 23,335 micro and small enterprises across 38 provinces.
“PLN does not merely provide reliable electricity — it is also present as an agent of social transformation, actively promoting community welfare. Through TJSL programmes grounded in creating shared value (CSV), we hope these efforts will continue to deliver sustainable positive impact across various sectors,” Darmawan said.
PLN’s TJSL programmes encompass a range of initiatives with three primary focus areas in support of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): education, the environment, and the development of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Throughout 2025, PLN Peduli implemented various programmes including terrestrial and marine ecosystem conservation, Fly Ash Bottom Ash (FABA) management, waste management and biomass co-firing, education digitalisation, scholarships and training, empowerment of persons with disabilities and women, micro and small enterprise development, Electrifying Agriculture and Electrifying Marine initiatives, and village empowerment.
“We design PLN’s TJSL programmes to remain aligned with SDG achievement, so that they not only deliver direct short-term benefits but also create sustainable impact for communities, the environment, and the national economy,” Darmawan said.
Darmawan added that in their implementation, PLN’s TJSL programmes consistently support the government’s vision and involve stakeholders from all levels. In the education sector, PLN runs various collaborative programmes that deliver direct impact for communities. One such initiative is a partnership with the Indonesian Armed Forces (TNI) on a nutritious kitchen programme, which involved constructing a Nutritional Fulfilment Service Unit (SPPG) facility at the Atang Sandjaja Air Force Base in Bogor Regency.
The programme provides 3,900 portions of free nutritious meals daily for schoolchildren, pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and toddlers, whilst also empowering hundreds of local workers to support kitchen operations.
