In the movement "Towards a Free Burnout innings" declared Tuesday (27 / 7) in the Field of Earth Gora Mataram, West Nusa Tenggara, which is meant by "free burnout" is a sufficient supply of electric power so there is no rotating blackouts."If this still happens burnout, it is more likely caused by local disturbances and can be addressed relatively quickly, so that the electric supply immediately recovered," as conveyed by Minister of Energy Darwin Zahedy Saleh in his speech at the event which was attended by the President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono is. Minister presents, in an attempt to overcome the power crisis, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources together with PT PLN has prepared an action program to overcome the crisis. In the short term, action programs that have been conducted among others by making a purchase excess power from private companies, rental generator, accelerate time generating and network maintenance, and electricity saving appeal. For subsequent programs, continued the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources, in addition to accelerating the completion of Phase I of 10,000 MW project will be completed in stages, the electricity crisis by generating rental, repair / relocation of transformers and generators, as well as small-scale power plant construction.

Minister of delivery, although Indonesia has transformed free rotating blackouts, the real new Indonesian Electrification ratio reaches 66%. At this time there is still a waiting list of new customers who can not underserved. "For that, programs were expected as we would like to be a solution to meet our electricity needs are not balanced. The expectation in the year 2014, the Government targets to increase the national electrification ratio of 80% can be achieved, "continued the Minister.

Electricity Tariff Adjustment is also followed by an obligation to provide electricity to increase efficiency and customer service. Other efforts include: improving the "energy mix" by fuel power plant to replace natural gas, coal, hydropower and geothermal energy, reduce network losses and increase generating capacity. Thus obtained will be the cost of Electric Power Supply cheap and the availability of funds for the new connection. [esdm] tenderoffer.biz
