Indonesia’s Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources, Bahlil Lahadalia, has directed state-owned electricity company PLN to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of its operational systems and energy supply chain management. This directive follows recent widespread power disruptions across Java, the country’s most populous island. The minister attributed the outages to deficiencies in PLN’s supply chain management, rather than equipment failure. The evaluation is expected to identify vulnerabilities and prevent future disruptions to the electricity grid. PLN is under pressure to improve its infrastructure and logistical planning to ensure a stable power supply. The government aims to avoid similar incidents that impact both residential and industrial sectors. Further details regarding the specific nature of the supply chain issues are expected following the completion of PLN’s internal review.
