State Electricity Company (PLN) is reportedly experiencing an oversupply, where its electricity supply exceeds the amount sold to customers.

Referring to the 2021 PLN Statistics report, this oversupply phenomenon has been evident for at least the past nine years.

During the 2013-2021 period, PLN's total electricity supply (produced in-house plus purchased from other parties) has consistently exceeded the total electricity sold by approximately 28,000-30,000 GWh, as detailed in the graph.

Said Abdullah, Chairman of the Indonesian House of Representatives' Budget Committee, also predicts that PLN's surplus electricity supply will increase next year, leading to an increased state burden.

"If later, New and Renewable Energy (NRE) enters the market, by 2030 PLN will have a 41 gigawatt oversupply. Imagine, if 1 gigawatt, due to the take-or-pay contract, requires a payment of Rp 3 trillion, because per 1 gigawatt (the burden) is Rp 3 trillion," said Said during a discussion of the 2023 State Budget at the Indonesian House of Representatives building in Jakarta on Monday (12/9/2022).

In response to this issue, the Indonesian House of Representatives' Budget Committee agreed to encourage households to increase their electricity subscription capacity to absorb the excess electricity supply from PLN.

"We agree with the government to (encourage customers) to upgrade from 450 VA to 900 VA, and from 900 VA to 1,200 VA, that's firm," said Said, as reported by Katadata.co.id, Tuesday (12/9/2022).
