Kudus (Antara Bali) - State electricity company PT PLN projects the number of households enjoying electricity in the country to reach 90 percent of the total by late 2014, the company's chief said.
"Currently, the electrification ratio reaches 71 percent of all the families in Indonesia. The national electrification ratio at the end of 2012 is targeted to reach 75 percent," said the company's president director, Nur Pamudji, at the inauguration of the operation of the expanded Unit 4 of the Tanjung Jati B thermal pwoer plant here Monday.
He said he was optimistic that by the end of 2014 the electrification ratio would be more than 90 percent with the support of the government's budget, especially from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources.
During the last two years the government had raised the budget several times to support national electrification.
In 2010 the budget to increase the electrification ratio reached Rp2.5 trillion and within two years it increased to Rp9 trillion.(IGT)
