Plans to increase electricity rates
The Director General of Electricity at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Rida Mulyana, said that the planned increase in electricity rates had been agreed with the Budget Agency (Banggar) of the DPR RI.
Moreover, since 2017 the electricity tariff for non-subsidized customers has never been adjusted. He explained that electricity tariff adjustments are expected to occur in the third quarter or fourth quarter of 2022.
This is because the government has decided that in the first quarter there will be no tariff adjustment, while in the second quarter it is estimated that there will be no tariff adjustment because it is still in a state of the Covid-19 pandemic with a new variant, Omicron.

“For the first quarter, it has been determined not to increase (electricity rates). For the second, third, and fourth quarters it has not been determined, but most likely if I estimate with Omicron it won’t be in the second quarter. We can consider the third and fourth quarters (adjustment of electricity rates) ,” he said in a virtual press conference, Tuesday (18/1/2022).
