View all search resultsPresident Joko “Jokowi” Widodo has boasted that the country has achieved 98.05 percent electrification, higher than the 67.2 percent it recorded in 2010. The government aims to electrify 99.9 percent of Indonesia by the end of 2019. Despite closing in on the finish line, the last few kilometers to provide electricity in rural areas have been tough, regional PLN officials said.
