Through this electricity tariff stimulus, customers only need to pay according to real usage.
Meanwhile, the difference between the Minimum Account or Minimum Hours of Operation against the actual usage account and the cost of expenses is the stimulus paid by the government.
This stimulus is valid from the July, August, September, October, November, and December 2020 accounts.
PLN ensures that this stimulus will not interfere with PLN’s finances. This is because every stimulus provided will be replaced by the government through a compensation mechanism, such as the stimulus that has been given to subsidized 450 VA and 900 VA household customers as well as industries and small businesses with 450 VA power.
