JAYAPURA \u2013 As part of its commitment to maintaining reliable electricity services and supporting community needs, PT PLN (Persero) through its Customer Service Implementation Unit (UP3) Jayapura has carried out integrated maintenance of the power distribution network to anticipate the impact of severe weather conditions in Papua.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Manager of PLN UP3 Jayapura, Marthen Henderson, explained that this measure is a preventive effort to ensure a stable electricity supply amid the potential for heavy rainfall, strong winds, and lightning, which frequently occur in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe conduct integrated maintenance comprehensively, ranging from cutting and trimming trees near power lines, rehabilitating network infrastructure, to carrying out thorough inspections of medium-voltage networks,\u201d he said in Jayapura on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, PLN\u2019s technical teams are improving network construction conditions, checking and tightening equipment connections, cleaning insulators, and replacing components that have experienced quality degradation. Optimizing the distribution protection system and normalizing points identified as vulnerable to disturbances are also key priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PLN acknowledges that in recent weeks, temporary power outages have occurred in several areas. However, most of these outages are part of routine maintenance activities aimed at ensuring long-term system reliability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBesides scheduled maintenance, momentary disturbances may also occur due to tree contact during strong winds, community tree-cutting activities that unintentionally hit power lines, or weather factors such as lightning,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PLN encourages the public to help safeguard electrical infrastructure by being cautious when conducting activities near power installations. If disturbances occur outside scheduled maintenance periods, residents can report them through the PLN Mobile application, which the company ensures remains fully operational.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Currently, the Jayapura power system is in a secure condition, with an available capacity of 114.50 MegaWatts (MW), a peak load of 99.50 MW, and a reserve margin of 15.00 MW. Through these efforts, PLN hopes to ensure that the community\u2019s electricity needs continue to be met safely and reliably, despite unpredictable weather challenges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
