He added that PLN continues to strengthen its clean energy supply in line with the government’s 2025–2034 Electricity Supply Business Plan (RUPTL), which prioritizes renewable energy development.
“In the future, PLN’s power system will become greener, more reliable, and more efficient. We continue to increase the share of renewable energy so that electricity remains clean, accessible, and affordable for households and businesses alike,” he said.
