Papua has the highest number of families without electricity in Indonesia, partly due to its geographically challenging terrain. Furthermore, many Papuan residents do not yet prioritize electricity as a primary need.
The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) plans to electrify all villages in Papua and West Papua this year. According to the Ministry of ESDM's data, 292 villages in Papua and 72 villages in West Papua currently lack access to PLN electricity.
