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

Singapore reported no new locally transmitted COVID-19 cases on Saturday (Jul 10).
This is the first time that Singapore reported no new locally transmitted cases since Apr 25, when no COVID-19 cases were identified in the community or migrant workers' dormitories.
Three of the imported cases were detected upon arrival in Singapore, while the other three developed the illness during stay-home notice or isolation.
This is the lowest overall number of total daily cases reported in Singapore since Jun 9 when four infections were identified.
MOH will provide an update on Saturday night about the COVID-19 situation in Singapore.
From Monday, up to five in a group will be allowed to dine out together. Social gatherings at the workplace can also resume – subject to the five-person limit – but working from home will remain as the default, said the Health Ministry on Jul 7.
As of Saturday, Singapore has reported a total of 62,684 COVID-19 cases//CNA

Japan's northern Hokkaido region has decided to ban spectators at the Olympic football matches hosted in the area, expanding unprecedented steps to hold the Games mostly behind closed doors due to the pandemic.
Local governor Naomichi Suzuki announced the move late on Friday (Jul 10) night, reversing a decision a day earlier by Olympic organisers to ban spectators from events in the greater Tokyo region but allow some fans at competitions held elsewhere.
The announcement came only a day after Tokyo 2020 and government officials said they would ban fans from events in the capital and surrounding areas, which will be under a virus emergency throughout the Games.
The pandemic-postponed Games will be the first to take place largely behind closed doors.A handful of competitions will take place outside the capital, including Sapporo, which will also host marathon and race walk events. Olympic and local officials have already asked the public not to come out to watch the races live.
Suzuki said he made the latest call about the football matches after assessing that anti-pandemic measures proposed by the organisers were insufficient and would not limit flows of people from Tokyo, which is seeing a rapidly increasing wave of infections.
Organisers had pushed to allow up to 50 per cent capacity audience or fewer than 10,000 people in Sapporo Dome.
Hokkaido itself has long struggled to control coronavirus infections. But it is planning to end its three-week quasi-state of emergency after this weekend.
"The decision was made to ease concerns and to secure safety and security for local residents as our primary focus. I ask for understanding," Suzuki said//CNA
