Supporting WFH Policy, PLN Offers 50% Discount on Electricity Power Upgrade, Note the Dates

PT PLN (Persero) has introduced a 50% discount programme for electricity power upgrades titled “Power Up Real, Listrik Aman Kerja Lancar”, aimed at supporting the implementation of Work From Home (WFH) in society in line with government policy. This promotion, running from 15 to 28 April 2026, is intended for low-voltage single-phase customers with initial capacities starting from 450 volt ampere (VA) up to 5,500 VA who wish to increase their power up to 7,700 VA. Director of Retail and Commerce at PLN, Adi Priyanto, explained that the WFH momentum will increase household electricity needs. Therefore, PLN is presenting this programme to provide comfort to the public so they can carry out activities optimally from home. “Through this programme, PLN wants to provide ease in upgrading 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 in his statement on Thursday, 16 April 2026. For example, a customer with an initial capacity of 1,300 VA who wants to upgrade to 7,700 VA only needs to pay Rp3,100,800, or save 50% compared to the normal cost of Rp6,201,600. Adi explained that the mechanism for 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 must pay their electricity bills. 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 on PLN Mobile. After payment verification, the local PLN unit will immediately process the application in accordance with applicable regulations. “The public need not worry because the process of applying for the electricity power upgrade discount is quite easy and quick, only through the PLN Mobile app,” said Adi. He added that this promotion applies to customers registered before 1 April 2026 who have settled all electricity bills or other obligations. He also invited all customers to optimise this electricity power upgrade discount programme. “We invite the public to make the most of this electricity power upgrade discount promotion. So that the electricity capacity at home is sufficient to support WFH activities and daily productivity,” he stated.
