Indonesia's household electricity tariffs have risen significantly over the past decade. This is evident from statistics reported by the state-owned electricity company, Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN).

According to PLN data, in 2014 the average electricity tariff for national household customers was still Rp758.16 per kilowatt-hour (kWh).

The tariff then gradually increased, reaching an average of Rp1,156.15 per kWh in 2023.

Cumulatively, during the 2014-2023 period, the average PLN electricity tariff for households increased by 52.5%.

The government plans to further increase electricity tariffs in 2025, specifically for households subscribing to 3,500 VA and above.

This plan is recorded in the *2025 Macroeconomic Framework and Fiscal Policy Guidelines*, which states:

"Electricity customers with a capacity of 3,500 VA and above represent the upper-middle and upper income groups. Providing compensation to this tariff group is highly contradictory to the principles of APBN distribution; therefore, it is only natural that the tariff for this customer group should be adjusted."

"The policy of adjusting tariffs for 3,500 VA and above household customers and government groups is relatively easy to implement, as it was done in 2022 with minimal and manageable social and economic impact."
