PLN West Java Distribution Unit Launches "Blessed Light Ramadan 2026" Campaign in Bandung
PT PLN (Persero) Unit Induk Distribusi (UID) Jawa Barat has once again demonstrated its commitment to social responsibility through the “Terang Berkah Ramadan 2026” programme, centred at the PLN UP3 Bandung office on Friday, 6 March 2026.
The initiative forms part of PLN’s Social and Environmental Responsibility (TJSL) programme, which aims to support food security whilst expanding electricity access for disadvantaged communities across West Java.
The programme was officially opened by Senior Manager for Communication and General Affairs at PLN UID West Java, Krisantus H Setyawan, accompanied by Manager of PLN UP3 Bandung, Donna Sinatra. Also present were the Secretary of Regol Sub-District, Tantan Haryanto, the Head of Ciseureuh Village, Tantan Sukanda, and representatives from the local police and military command.
Krisantus stated that the programme represents PLN’s genuine commitment to the community, particularly during Ramadan, a month synonymous with the spirit of sharing. He noted that Ramadan is the ideal time for giving, and through the Terang Berkah Ramadan programme, PLN is providing 1,200 affordable food packages to residents across Regol Sub-District, including the villages of Ciseureuh, Balonggede, Cigareleng, Pasirluyu, and Ciateul, as well as to contract workers within PLN.
“We want to ensure that PLN’s presence not only brings electrical light, but also brings the energy of happiness to those in need,” Krisantus said in a statement on Wednesday, 11 March 2026.
The initiative also received praise from Regol Sub-District Secretary, Tantan Haryanto, who recognised that PLN’s programme provides substantial help to communities, especially amid rising needs during Ramadan. “We are deeply grateful to PLN UID West Java for its concern towards the residents of Regol Sub-District. These affordable food packages significantly help ease the economic burden on our people. We hope such collaboration continues for the welfare of our residents,” he said.
A notable feature of the programme is the subsidised food package priced at Rp 70,000, which includes 5 kilograms of rice, 1 litre of cooking oil, and 1 kilogram of sugar. Beyond providing immediate relief to communities, 100 per cent of all proceeds from food sales will be returned to fund new electricity connection programmes for public facilities and homes of low-income residents.
Aten Setiawan, 46, a resident of Ciseureuh Village, expressed deep appreciation for the programme. “Praise be to God, the food prices are far cheaper than at the market. I am delighted to know that the money we pay will be used by PLN to help install free electricity in schools or places of worship. So it feels like we are shopping cheaply whilst also contributing through charity,” he said.
Through the Terang Berkah Ramadan 2026 programme, PLN hopes to continue strengthening collaboration with local government, stakeholders, and communities. The initiative is also expected to enhance public confidence in PLN as a company that not only provides reliable electricity, but also genuinely contributes to community welfare.
