As a further effort in prepration for the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) in December 2015, the Government is currently drafting regulations on electricity industry certifications. The regulation will also aim to improve the quality of national ancillary electrical services by strengthening the procedures to certify electrical service providers before they can provide services to the public.
Jarman, Director General of Electricity at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, explained that the regulation will cover three main aspects. The first is certification of operational feasibility for electric power installations, second is competency certificates for electrical technicians, and third certification of electrical support services.
“The certification process will improve the quality of national electrical technicians, installations and supporting services,” said Jarman.
Giving details, Mr. Jarman explained that the regulation will require all certification institutions to secure an approval number from the Directorate General of Electricity (Director General). The approval number will be used to validate all electrical certificates issued by them. This measure is being taken to ensure that electrical certifications issued by the certification institution comply with prevailing standard.
Further, Mr. Jarman also explained that the Government will set up an electronic registration system for information on electrical certifications. This system will not only provide services to certification institutions including securing an approval number, but also act as a comprehensive electronic database on qualifications and certifications for electrical services that can be accessed by the public.
“The approval number can be checked through the electronic system, and warnings will be given for non-compliance,” said Mr. Jarman.
While the new provisions may address issues of certification, Zamroni Salim, researcher at the Habibie Center, contends that the Government should also focus on solving the more critical issue for electricity, infrastructure.
“The Government should address the issue of infrastructure, especially road access which is an important aspect for businesses to distribute their products,” said Mr. Salim.
Furthermore, Mr. Salim also highlighted the importance of political stability and raw material supply for better investment conditions in Indonesia. On downstream aspects, Mr. Salim believes that all ASEAN members are a potential market for trading electricity, and that there will be no significant challenges to the market for goods or services.
“Indonesia has shown a positive contribution towards global economic growth, however infrastructure remains the biggest obstacle, such as roads and bridges, ports, as well as electricity,” concluded Mr. Salim.
