Page 1 of 2 JAKARTA: The electricity subsidy is estimated higher due to delayed construction of power projects 10 000 megawatt (MW) phase I by the state electricity company PT (Persero), caused by delays in funding certainty.Members of the National Energy Board (DEN) Herman Darnel Ibrahim disclose the use of diesel generators (diesel) fuel oil will be prolonged due to the many projects to generate 10,000 MW of Phase I is not in accordance with a target completion this year. "Many projects are going to be late, even expected until after 2011 due to the certainty of funding is also late. In the end, the subsidy will be greater for more prolonged use of diesel, "he said today. That, he continued, it emerged from the visit of members of the Elements Stakeholders DEN to Papua, West Sulawesi, North Maluku, Riau Islands, Bangka Belitung, West Java, South Kalimantan and Central Sulawesi since July 20 until August 7, 2010. According to him, electricity development should be implemented not only in a planned, but also with financial support so that complete on time. "The delay in construction of power plants mainly caused by delays in funding certainty, but the use of diesel fuel for the lease will also require greater funding," said Herman. Likewise, other members DEN Eddie Widiono Suwondho instead affirm the operation of diesel will increase the cost of supply (BPP) and the electricity subsidy burden for the state budget. In fact, he continued, the additional subsidy burden can actually direalokasikan for the accelerated development of power plants. "If that is the financial state-owned electricity provider that is not possible, then the government needs to provide a budget for adequate means of increasing electrification," said Eddie. According to him, the government should ensure that PLN is a state-owned electricity provider can build adequate facilities to enable terlayaninya new connection requests. The reason, he added, the electrification ratio from several tourist destinations, it is still very low due to new electricity connections are still limited. He rate PLN efforts to eliminate blackouts by building and leasing innings diesel is good enough, but in the field, there are still many complaints of power outages. DEN members Agusman Effendi added in some areas were still found problems of land acquisition and conservation areas overlap with indigenous forests and soils that inhibit the development of electric power. "It is necessary to synchronize the development planning of electricity between local government and PLN," said Agusman. (Parachute) www.tenderoffer.biz
