PLN Free Electricity Token extended until March 2021, here’s how to claim it

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – Electricity subsidies through free electricity tokens (free PLN tokens) are back in effect. This is because the government extends the PLN free electricity token program for household consumers with 450 VA and 900 VA power until March 2021 (free electricity 2021).

For domestic customers, a 100 percent discount or free is offered to electricity customers in the 450 VA category.

A 50 percent discount is then given to customers in the 900 VA subsidized energy category that has been recorded in the Integrated Social Welfare Data (DTKS) of the Ministry of Social Affairs.

Likewise, commercial and industrial customers with 450 VA of power will receive 100 percent of the electricity bill.

The extension of the electricity bill subsidy program is a government effort to ease the burden on poor and vulnerable groups in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic.

In keeping with this government policy, PLN stated that it was ready to go ahead and succeed in distributing the 2021 free electricity token stimulus.

“As a system, we are ready to go back to distribution, because this is an extension. We are optimistic that distribution will work well,” said Director of Commerce and Customer Management Bob Saril in his statement on Saturday (Feb 1 2021).

Covid-19 stimulus in the form of free token electricity subsidies or electricity discounts for PLN customers can be enjoyed on January 7, 2021.
