At the start of President Joko Widodo's administration, the target for power plant development was 35 Megawatts (MW). However, throughout 2015-2016, Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) only managed to add 5,864 MW of power generation capacity.
To improve service, ensure equitable electricity distribution, and anticipate increasing electricity demand, PLN continues to increase power plant capacity. In 2016, PLN added 3,714 MW of generation capacity. In addition, the state-owned electricity company also added 2,859 kilometers of transmission lines and 14,123 MVA of substation capacity.
By July 2017, the electrification ratio had reached 93.1 percent, with 66.2 million customers. The total connected electricity capacity reached 118,390 MVA.
