Inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources, Bahlil Lahadalia, confirmed on Wednesday (22/1/2025) that the 50% electricity discount for PT PLN (Persero) residential customers with power up to 2,200 VA will not be extended beyond two months.

The discount, available for customers with 450 VA, 900 VA, 1,300 VA, and 2,200 VA capacity, is valid for January and February 2025. 

"It won’t be extended, just two months," he said on Wednesday (22/1/2025).

The discount applies automatically, covering 81.42 million customers. Prepaid customers will receive the discount directly when purchasing electricity tokens, while postpaid customers get 50% off their electricity bills for January and February 2025.

This initiative aims to protect consumers' purchasing power amid the 12% luxury goods tax increase starting in 2025. However, customers with 3,500–6,600 VA are subject to the 12% VAT
