Negara Harus Selamatkan PLN dengan Segera Menghentikan Proyek Listrik 35.000 Megawatt

The document highlights a severe financial crisis at PLN, characterized by a 38 trillion rupiah loss in Q1 2020 and 500 trillion rupiah in debt linked to the 35,000 MW infrastructure project. It argues that the Java-Bali system is suffering from oversupply due to overestimated economic growth and electricity demand projections. The text calls for the government to stop new coal-fired power plant projects, such as PLTU Jawa 9 & 10, to prevent further losses and environmental damage.

• PLN is facing a significant financial crisis, reporting a loss of 38 trillion rupiah in the first quarter of 2020 and carrying debts of 500 trillion rupiah, which were used to fund the 35,000 MW electricity infrastructure megaprogram.
• The Java-Bali electricity system is experiencing oversupply because national economic growth targets used for projections were not met; for example, the 2019 RUPTL assumed 5.5 percent growth, while the actual achievement was 5.02 percent.
• An IESR study indicates that demand projections for the Sumatra and Java-Bali regions were 20-50 percent higher than the actual electricity growth trends observed over the last decade.
• The proposed PLTU Jawa 9 & 10 project in Cilegon, Banten, is described as business-unprofitable according to a Korea Development Institute (KDI) pre-feasibility study, showing a negative profitability index and the potential to become a stranded asset.
• Trend Asia warns that continuing new projects amidst market uncertainty could increase PLN's debt burden to 600 trillion rupiah, an amount equivalent to one-quarter of the 2020 state budget (APBN).
