Semarang, VIVA – PLN is ensuring the readiness of the electricity system at vital facilities ahead of the celebration and holiday for Eid al-Fitr 1447 Hijriah. This was confirmed by PLN’s Independent Commissioner Ali Masykur Musa during a visit to the Great Mosque of Baiturrahman in Central Java.
During the visit, the PLN Commissioner was accompanied by the Director of Distribution of PLN, as well as the GM of PLN UID Central Java, and was welcomed directly by the Chairman of the Mosque’s Takmir Division, Dr. H. Multazam Ahmad, MA, and the First Chairman Dr. KH. Anashom, M.Hum.
“Sufficient power supply, even in excess, must be prepared for Takbiran night because this is the peak of the victory for the Muslim community after a month of ‘ngenthung’ and this is the time for us to soar and we will triumph,” said Ali during his visit on Thursday, 19 March 2026, quoted from his statement.
He stated that PLN is committed to providing a reliable electricity supply to support public comfort in performing worship and celebrating Eid al-Fitr. To this end, PLN is strengthening infrastructure, particularly the readiness of electric vehicle infrastructure on strategic routes that serve as the main travel paths for the public during the 2026 Eid holiday.
PLN, together with its partners, has provided 4,769 units of public electric vehicle charging stations (SPKLU) spread across 3,078 locations throughout Indonesia. This infrastructure consists of various types of charging, from ultra fast charging, fast charging, medium charging to standard charging, tailored to the needs of electric vehicle users.
To support the 2026 Eid mudik period, PLN is also preparing 1,681 SPKLU units at 994 locations spread along mudik routes in the Sumatra, Java, and Bali regions. All these facilities are supported by more than 5,000 standby personnel on duty 24 hours a day in three shifts to ensure optimal service for electric vehicle users.
“PLN continues to strengthen the readiness of electric vehicle infrastructure, especially on strategic routes that serve as the main travel paths for the public during the long holiday. This aligns with PLN’s commitment to supporting the acceleration of the electric vehicle ecosystem in Indonesia,” said Ali.
The steps taken by PLN also affirm its role as the backbone of national energy in supporting public mobility during Eid. The readiness of electricity and electric vehicle infrastructure is an important part in ensuring the smooth flow of mudik while promoting the transition to clean energy in Indonesia.
