PLN'S MONTHLY INCOME INCREASES BY RP260 BILLION
Jakarta, June 11 (ANTARA) - State-owned electricity company PLN is now enjoying a monthly increase by Rp260 billion following its policy of charging consumers of over 6,600 VA with a non-subsidized tariff, PLN president director Fahmi Mochtar said.
Fahmi Mochtar made the remarks at a hearing with the House of Representatives (DPR's) Commission VII which deals with energy affairs here on Wednesday.
He said that the additional income was learned based on a provisional evaluation on the imposition of the non-subsidized tariff on power customers of 6,600 VA and over.
The PLN's policy of charging high voltage consumers with a non-subsidized tariff was effective as of last April.
"The sensitivity of consumers of over 6,600 VA has not yet been seen over the imposition of the non-subsidized tariff. Customers who consumed electricity below the efficiency limit were only 50 percent," he said.
He said that with such a condition, a policy of intensifying the imposition of non-subsidy power tariffs needed to be taken.
Mochtar said that a written report on the results of a legal study about the imposition of non-subsidized tariff, which was conducted by Law Office A Hakim G Nusantara, Herman and Partners, had been submitted to the Commission VII chairman on June 6, 2008.
