Rida explained that the price of this package of electric stoves is around 1.8 million rupees, so if the target is 300,000 families, the budget needed this year is around 540 billion rupees.
However, Rida said there may still be some changes. Why, there is an input so that the data on the electric stove being distributed is increased.

If a power change is made, Rida said there will be an additional budget for an electric heater package. For example, currently with 800 watts of power it is 1.8 million Rp., So with 1000 watts of power it can reach 2 million Rp.
“It’s still a test, there is a proposal to change a kiln to a larger size. Now, the price is still being calculated, it shouldn’t be Rp 1.8 million, it needs to be higher, around 2 million. of Rp., “he said.
