Power brownouts

Power brownouts

From Republika

We are subscribers of the power supplied by state-owned
electricity company PLN to the Perumnas I housing complex in
Tangerang. We experience frequent power outages, especially on
Jl. Beringin Raya.

These brownouts started two years ago. One time during the
rainy season, the outages occurred four times in one week. Now in
the dry season brownouts still occur.

In mid-1996, we lodged a complaint with PLN. They responded
that the poor condition of the transformer housing on Jl.
Beringin Raya was the cause of the irregular supply of power. PLN
promised to replace the transformer housing with another type.
However, until now, the situation has not changed for the better.

Inhabitants of the area appeal to PLN to immediately make the
necessary repairs in order that we (their subscribers) do not
suffer further losses.
