5.2 Million Residents in Indonesia Have Not Obtained Electricity
Jurnal Portal. Jakarta, Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Ignasius Jonan said that until the third quarter of 2018 the national electrification ratio had reached 98 percent. This achievement has exceeded this year's target of 97.5 percent.
"At present, 98 percent of the people in the country have already enjoyed electricity services. This exceeds the target of the Medium Term Development Plan (RPJMN) which is only 97.5 percent electrification ratio at the end of 2018, next year the target is 99.9 percent," said Jonan in an official statement, quoted Wednesday (10/24).
Based on the data from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, the electrification ratio until the third quarter of 2018 was mostly supported by the services of PT PLN (Persero) as much as 95.43 percent, Non PLN 2.5 percent, and Energy Saving Solar Lights (LTHSE) 0.12 percent.
Despite surpassing the target, continued Jonan, the remaining 2 percent that has not been reached in the electrification ratio is equivalent to 5.2 million Indonesian people. Most of the people who have not felt electricity services are in East Nusa Tenggara and Papua. The average electrification ratio in the area is only 61.01 percent and 81.66 percent far below the national average.
"5.2 million Indonesians who have not enjoyed lighting or electricity are very much, equivalent to the entire population of Singapore, so I really hope that next year all will be able to enjoy information and for areas that are isolated and difficult to reach we use new energy renewable, "he said.
Jonan said the use of new renewable energy would complement the electricity ratio in areas that are difficult to reach.
That is, electricity services are not only affordable for the middle class. "Affordable people cannot be in the middle class but it must be calculated from the layers of our brothers who are still less fortunate that they are still vulnerable to poverty," he said.
Furthermore, the government continues to try to electrify all regions of Indonesia so that all levels of society can enjoy electricity.
"We do not want Indonesian human development in difficult and remote areas to be hampered and increasingly lagging behind by urban communities who can already have internet access and can study whenever their time is day or night," he said.
