President Prabowo Subianto has recently praised former president Joko Widodo (Jokowi) for his remarkable contributions to the development of 37 new electricity infrastructure projects across 18 provinces in Indonesia. These projects boast a total capacity of 3.2 gigawatts and symbolize a significant milestone in the nation’s energy landscape.
Unveiling a Bright Future
The grand inauguration ceremony took place at the Jatigede Hydroelectric Power Plant (PLTA) in Sumedang District, West Java, on a momentous Monday. President Prabowo lauded the collective efforts of the nation’s talents, state institutions, and Jokowi’s administration for laying the groundwork for these crucial infrastructure projects.
Powering Towards Progress
Expressing his government’s commitment to energy self-sufficiency, President Prabowo emphasized the strategic importance of these power infrastructure projects. He took immense pride in overseeing the simultaneous inauguration of multiple electricity infrastructures, just three months into his presidency.
A Vision for Tomorrow
Looking ahead, President Prabowo expressed his optimism about achieving universal electrification for all villages within the next five years. This ambitious goal aligns with his administration’s vision for a more sustainable and energy-efficient future for all Indonesians.
Building a Strong Foundation
Among the key projects inaugurated by President Prabowo is the Jatigede PLTA, a powerhouse with a capacity of 2×55 megawatts that will play a crucial role in meeting the nation’s growing energy demands. This plant, initiated by former president Jokowi in 2015, represents a testament to the continuity of Indonesia’s energy development efforts.
As the government continues to push forward with its electrification agenda, these newly inaugurated power plants and related facilities scattered across multiple provinces signal a new era of growth and progress for the Indonesian energy sector. With a focus on harnessing renewable energy sources and expanding access to electricity, the nation is poised to embrace a brighter and more sustainable future for all its citizens.
