JAKARTA. To meet the needs of the national electricity supply is needed about 3,000 Mw electricity per year. Therefore, according to Minister of Energy and the investment required for improvement or maintenance of electricity distribution networks, due to PLN's financial capabilities and the limited state budget, the need for such investment needs to be borne along especially to the people who can afford.

"Our government will be very careful in formulating the Electricity Basic Tariff adjustment (TDL), which meant in their time", said the Minister after conducting a ceremony in commemoration of the 65th Anniversary of RI, Tuesday (17 / 8).

TDL Adjustment continued the Minister, are necessary to improve the ability of PLN to melistriki 19 million households or approximately 34-35 percent of the public particularly in the eastern Indonesian region that has not teraliri listriki. The increase in electricity demand is estimated to reach 7.5 to 9% per year, while capacity increased electrical capacity is only about 3.5 to 4%, because it required a huge investment to the needs of the public electricity demand can be met and there is no electricity deficit. .

"One of three people or three families of 10 people in Indonesia that we were not 53 million electricity and this we must think in a way to improve the ability to invest, TDL is just one of them, there are other things that must be undertaken by PLN, ie, how to keep improve efficiency, reduce network losses and then also fix the energy mix, so the cost of production (BPP) PLN could go down ", said the Minister.

TDL increase applied only to that faction of society that is able to remain to protect small customers (450-900 Va), because according to the Ministry, the Indonesian community that have not been able to still do not have the ability, therefore still be given subsidies will be sought. "I (Minister of Energy) will try not to (raise TDL) for people who can not afford, because it seems our society, especially those not able to still do not have the ability," he said.

Furthermore, according to the Ministry, the increase in TDL will only apply to a small group of customers if they have the ability to increase. "Let's objective, because we share not only able to follow what we want, but we see objekfitasnya, if it turns out there are signs that our society who can not afford it increased its capabilities, so let us share the load to 19 million households from 53 million KK is not electricity. " he continued.
