JAKARTA. The state government decided to reduce the budget allocated for the electricity relief fee of PT PLN (Persero) by 50% in the second quarter (Q2) of 2021.

Tohari Hadiat, the Executive Vice President of Tariff and Public Services of PLN, stated that the government’s total budget for the electricity relief stimulus in Q2 2021 was IDR 2.3 trillion. “It was due to the 50% cut,” Hadiat explained during a webinar earlier today.
