Electricity in Serpong, South Tangerang, Out Until This Afternoon

PT PLN (Persero) has announced scheduled rolling blackouts across parts of Serpong, South Tangerang, Banten, affecting residents from 8 AM to 5 PM. The power outages are implemented in three distinct phases throughout the day to manage the electricity supply system.

“

This step is taken to maintain the reliability and stability of the electricity system. PLN continues to coordinate with all relevant parties to ensure the handling process runs optimally and the reliability of the electricity supply is maintained.

The first phase, from 8 AM to 11 AM, impacts areas including Pakujaya, Pinang, Alam Sutera, parts of Gading Serpong, Lengkong Gudang, Cilenggang, Kelapa Dua, Setu, and parts of Puspitek and Taman Tekno. The second phase, from 11 AM to 2 PM, covers Cukang Galih, Kampung Pabuaran Curug, Pakualam, Pagedangan, Cicalengka, Kampung Cipancing Baru, Palasari Legok, Pinang, Serpong Utara, Kampung Serdang Wetan, and Parung Panjang Legok. The final phase, from 2 PM to 5 PM, affects Babakan Legok, Parung Panjang Legok, Cisauk, Bitung Curug, Kampung Cirarab Curug, Bojong Kamal Legok, Surya Kadu, Jl. Raya P. Curug, Jatiuwung, Kampung Cikoneng Ilir Jatake, Kampung Cirarab, Jl. Caringin Desa Jatake, Kadu Jaya, and parts of Gading Serpong.

According to Beny Indra Praja, Manager of PLN UP3 Serpong, these measures are necessary to maintain the reliability and stability of the electricity system. PLN is coordinating with relevant parties to ensure optimal handling and sustained power supply reliability. The disruptions stem from technical operational constraints and the temporary non-operation of two major power generation units, which has reduced the overall supply capacity of the Java-Bali electricity system.

“

The disruption caused the electricity supply capacity of the Java system to decrease, so the company had to implement temporary load management to maintain the balance between supply and electricity needs.

Executive Vice President of Corporate Communication and TJSL at PLN, Gregorius Adi Trianto, explained that the power deficit necessitates temporary load management to balance supply and demand. This situation has been ongoing since June 8, affecting not only the Greater Jakarta area but also parts of East Java, Central Java, and West Java.

“

This step is taken because there are operational technical constraints and two major power generation units experienced disruptions, so they are temporarily not operating and reduce the capacity of the electricity supply system.
