Jakarta, Indonesia Sentinel — Indonesia’s state-owned electricity company, PLN, will provide a 50% discount on electricity tariffs for eligible customers from January to February 2025. The initiative aims to ease financial pressures on households following the scheduled increase in the Value Added Tax (VAT) rate to 12%.

The program was announced by Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs, Airlangga Hartarto, during a press conference outlining the government’s economic stimulus package ahead of the 12% VAT hike set to take effect on January 2025.

PLN CEO Darmawan Prasodjo highlighted the role of the company’s digitalized customer service system in ensuring smooth implementation of the discount program.
