oordinating Economic Minister Sofyan Djalil has said the development of electricity plants, which are part of Indonesia's 35,000 Megawatt (MW) electricity program, in areas across the country is running in line with plans.
'State-owned electricity company PLN's president director Sofyan Basir has reported the latest development of the program which is so far 'on track',' he said as quoted by Antara news agency on Tuesday.
The minister was speaking after attending a meeting on electricity led by Vice President Jusuf Kalla at the Vice Presidential Office in Jakarta.
He said problems related to the grid or electricity networks could be handled as planned. 'It seems everything is on track,' he asserted.
Despite the progress, Sofyan said, the program was facing a number of obstacles, such as land conflicts in several areas including in Halimun, West Java, which were expected to be immediately resolved.
Coordinating Maritime Affairs Minister Indroyono Soesilo, Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Sudirman Said, Agrarian and Spatial Planning Minister Ferry Mursyidan Baldan and Environment and Forestry Minister Siti Nurbaya attended the meeting.
