PT PLN Electricity Service Unit Manager Agats Karel Erice Jaru said that the Village Electricity Program for Light Papua in 2018-2020 in Asmat Regency was implemented in 16 districts (sub-districts) and 59 villages (villages).

The third party or the executor of the work, said Karel, has built a number of low voltage networks and air channels (SUTR) to implement the Papua Light program. "The network and SUTR have been completed in several districts, such as in Sawaerma and Pulau Tiga. After the network is settled, it will continue with the construction of the PLTS, "he said.

The system is considered efficient and in accordance with the geographical conditions of the local area.

With centralizing electricity that relies on solar energy, it is better, "he said.
