PT. PLN BATAM IS THE LIER COMPANY


After promised to the public of Batam Island, no black out electricity on 2008, July, management of PT. PLN (Pelayanan Listrik Negara) Batam – the electricity power company belong to the government – lie. Management just price to they promise not more than one week. After one week, the electricity in the houses in Batam Island, go out any more.

The most disappointed is when PT. PLN Batam black out again in Thursday, June 12, 2008 on 10.25 pm Batam Time. In that time, the “foot ball maniac’s” are waiting for watching the Euro 2008 Competition, between Germany versus Croasia. You know, this two teams are my favorite. But, I’m gambling for Germany.

Let’s back to the PT. PLN Batam issue. This company is too close and very confident and most protected by the employee. Especially, to giving the data of production and something like that. I’ve bad experience. In Thursday, 29 May, 2008, I’ve call Sodik, the PT. PLN Batam employee, he is job for giving the data and information to the journalist and public. I ask him the data of production of PT. PLN Batam. But, the answer is, can not. I’ve to follow the internal difficult regulation. Finally, I’m fail.

So, many questions mark appear in my brain. What happen in the management of PT. PLN Batam. Is the serious “problem” of financial or corruptions? As the public company, this company is too close. I don’t know what the management explanations. But, I want to give you little important information about this company.

Last week, the Head of Exploration and Energy of Riau Island Province Mr. Hamid Rizal said to me and other journalist in Batam Beach Resort (BBR) Hotel of Tanjunginang about the electricity problem in Riau Island – including Batam Island. Rizal said, the Governor of Riau Island Province Mr. Ismeth Abdullah disappointed to the management of PT. PLN Batam. Because the management of PT. PLN Batam is only give the “empty promise” to the public. One of the promised is about the PLTU (Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Uap) Tanjung Kasam Batam – the steam power electricity. This project is more than 4 years already, but until now not running smoothly.

Besides the management too many time said to the governor that the electricity problem will solved if the Tanjung Kasam project is done. But, the project no progress anything. That why the Governor have ask to the President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono to canceling the contract of Tanjung Kasam, and release the new bidding announcement again. The Governor thought the Free Trade Zone (FTZ) and Free Port law will fail and can’t invite the foreign investor to Batam Island if the Management can’t give the best solution of electricity.

Last month, all the foreign investor in Batam Island and entrepreneurs are complaint to the local government about the electricity supply. Of cause, this is not good advertisement for the FTZ and Free Port of Batam Island program. As a journalist, I wish to advise you all, to do not believe the Indonesian government’s company – like PT. PLN Batam. Better you looking for the second opinion before you invest your money in Indonesia. Especially, investing in Batam Island. Many questions you have to answer first. Trust me. (!)
