he Papua and West Papua’s office of state electricity company PLN will supply power to 60 previously unconnected villages in Papua and West Papua provinces before Christmas.
“Connecting the 60 villages to the electricity grid is part of the 2020 electricity program. This is a Christmas gift from PLN,” Papua and West Papua’s PLN General Manager Yohanes Sukrislismono said on Friday.
Forty-two of the villages are located in West Papua while 18 are in Papua province.
The company aims to boost the electrification ratio of the country’s easternmost provinces, which currently stands at 55.72 percent, to 90 percent by 2020, Yohanes added.
