PT PLN will deploy a total of 564 officers to secure electricity supply during the 2021 National Games (PON) in Papua Province.

The officers will commence their tasks for the September 19-October 17, 2021, period, PLN's general manager of the Papua and West Papua regional main unit, Abdul Farid, stated here on Saturday.

“We strive to complete the physical work and other preparations pertaining to electricity as soon as possible,” he remarked.

The company continues to coordinate with other related stakeholders to ensure that preparations align with the electricity requirements at the 2021 National Games (PON), he noted.

“PLN has also prepared supporting equipment to ensure that electricity supply remains secure in the event of the main system encountering any problem,” he explained.

Farid mentioned that the equipment prepared are mobile substation units (UGB), mobile cable units (UKB), mobile cable and cubicle units (UKKB), mobile UPS, and mobile generators.

“We will deploy such supporting units at strategic venues and points during the 2021 National Games, so that electricity supply remains secured,” he remarked.

Apart from focusing on the completion of physical work, PLN guarantees sufficient power supply from generators at each location.

A total of 16.21 MV of power is the projected requirement to electrify the entire PON competition arena, so the existing generators are still able to supply it all, according to Farid//ANT
