Temporary Power Outages 

The Jakarta branch of Indonesia’s state-owned electricity company, PLN decided to shutdowns electricity on Wednesday at several affected areas. PLN reported that approximately 1,873 customers experienced temporary power outages due to flooding.

Affected areas included Jalan Bumi Citra Idaman, Boulevard Raya Ruko Mutiara Taman Palem, Jalan Manyar, and Rusun BCI in West Jakarta, as well as Jalan Karma Yudha and Jalan Pegangsaan Dua in Kelapa Gading.

Lasiran, General Manager of PLN Jakarta Raya, confirmed that the shutdowns were a precautionary measure to prevent electrical hazards during the flood. “Our top priority is customer safety. We will restore power as soon as it is safe to do so,” he states, as reported by Bisnis.

PLN technical teams continue to monitor affected areas and are working with local authorities to expedite power restoration efforts.

Extreme Weather

The Jakarta Disaster Mitigation Agency (BPBD) reported that the widespread flooding across multiple areas in the capital was caused by extreme rainfall, overwhelming the city’s drainage system. “The existing drainage channels exceeded their capacity, causing overflow and flooding,” said Yohan, as reported by Teropong Media.

Yohan explained that BPBD has coordinated with the Water Resources Agency, the Public Works Agency, and the Fire and Rescue Department, deploying 267 personnel to oversee and manage water pumping operations at dozens of flood-affected locations across Jakarta.

He emphasized that field personnel were instructed to inspect drainage systems to ensure they function properly, working alongside local district and sub-district officials. “Our goal is to drain floodwaters as quickly as possible,” he stated.

Additionally, he urged residents to remain cautious and vigilant against potential flooding. “In case of emergency, please contact 112. The service is free and operates 24/7,” he added.
