The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) has set new electricity tariffs for several sectors: social services, households, businesses, industries, government, and other service sectors.
This tariff determination is stipulated in the Minister of ESDM Regulation Number 7/2024 concerning Electricity Tariffs Provided by PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (Persero), effective June 10, 2024. These tariffs apply to prepaid electricity starting July 2024. The prepaid system is essentially not significantly different from regular usage.
The regulation explains that Permen ESDM 7/2024 replaces Permen ESDM Number 28/2016. The government states that the previous regulation had been frequently amended and was no longer suitable for the needs of service provision, efficiency, and electricity reliability for consumers.

According to Article 3 of the regulation, electricity tariffs for household use include: firstly, tariffs for small household electricity needs at low voltage (TR) with capacities of 450 volt-amperes (VA), 900 VA, 900 VA-RTM (affluent households), 1,300 VA, and 2,200 VA.
