The government said Friday it had formed a team to appraise the performance of the management of state electricity monopoly PT PLN, paving the way for a reshuffle of its top executives.
“We have set up an inter-departmental team, comprising related departments, including the Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry, to evaluate PLN's performance,” State Minister of State Enterprises Mustafa Abubakar told reporters in Jakarta.
He refused to confirm, however, reports of an impending replacement of PLN president director Fahmi Mochtar.
“Let’s see. If the team says we need to reshuffle PLN's management, we'll be open to it,” Mustafa said.
Quoting a PLN source, Koran Tempo daily reported that President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono had summoned media baron Dahlan Iskan to the State Palace and appointed him as the new president director of PLN.
Mustafa refrained from confirming the appointment of Dahlan, the owner of Jawa Pos media group, saying he was still waiting for the team’s evaluation.
PLN has come under constant criticism for the current power crisis that has forced the company to rotate blackouts across the country.
