Program for Result

The Program is comprised of three outputs: (i) existing transmission system strengthened and expanded, (ii) existing distribution system strengthened and expanded, and (iii) performance management and implementation improved. The Indonesia Power Distribution Development Program for Results (PDDP) is to increase access to electricity supply by extension of 20 kV distribution lines, meanwhile in order to improve the efficiency through reduction of distribution losses, distribution substation will be added to the distribution lines and finally for increasing the reliability through reduced outages and improved voltage conditions, switching substations will be constructed. The PforR Program to be supported by the Bank is a geographic slice of the distribution component of the RUPTL covering Indonesia’s Sumatra region for the period 2015-2019. To improve the likelihood of meeting its program targets, PLN’s strategy is to mobilize multilateral funding to complement its own and fill the financing gap for the Sumatra distribution program. Positive environmental and social benefit is expected as major results, specifically, up to almost 3 million customers could be added to the grid in the five year period through 2019 resulting in an increase in the electrification ratio to about 90%. The Program will only finance the power distribution activities in rural and urban areas in Sumatra and most of the additional customers would be in areas already electrified and would thus tend to represent the lowest income households in these areas.
