Director of National Electricity Company (PLN), Nur Pamudji, explains, exports from Sumatra to the Land of the neighbor came after the electricity demand in Sumatra have been met. By 2017, electricity demand reached 7,000 megawatts in Sumatra with an electrification ratio of 90 percent, while the power reserve of Sumatra in 2017 reached 11 600 MW.
"In 2017, PLN has a power reserve 40 per cent on top of that, and from these reserves of 600 MW is exported to Malaysia and Java flows to 3000 MW," said Nur Pamudji in Jakarta, Friday, April 20, 2012.
Director General of Electricity Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Jarman, explained, electricity trading rules between countries in the developed countries is usually done. He pointed out, sell electricity to Thailand, Laos and Thailand also exports electricity to Malaysia.
To realize the power export plan, PLN will begin talks with Malaysia next week.
According to Jarman, the export of this electricity to reduce coal and gas exports to neighboring countries. Because, so far, coal and gas exports to neighboring countries are used to power them. In fact, the current industry in Indonesia gas supply shortage.
"It's one of our prospects. Instead of selling gas and coal, we sell electricity only. Thus, gas and coal we can use their own, "he said.
Although Indonesia will export electricity, the electricity supply in the country, especially industry, not to be deprived of electricity. In Government Regulation No. 42 of 2012 regulated the sale of electric power across countries can be done with the three conditions, namely the need for local power and the surrounding area have been met, the selling price of electricity does not contain a subsidy, and does not interfere with the quality and reliability of local electricity supply.
