- The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (“Ministry”) is urging PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (“PLN”) to offer compensation to the many individuals and parties who sustained losses as a result of the recent blackout that hit the Indonesian capital and beyond. However, all such compensation payments must be made in accordance with Regulation of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources No. 27 of 2017 on Service Quality Levels and Costs Relating to the Distribution of Electricity by PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (Persero).
- The Director-General of Electricity at the Ministry, Rida Mulyana, issued a statement in the wake of the blackout asserting that the granting of compensation in relation to any blackouts is included under PLN’s liabilities. In addition, Mulyana stressed that the Ministry would be undertaking further investigations aimed at determining whether the massive blackout was triggered by any operational or regulatory issues. If it ultimately emerges that a regulatory issue was to blame for PLN’s compromised service quality, then the Ministry is expected to reform the relevant regulatory frameworks. (ANT)
