This week, April 7-13, Bali may experience rolling blackouts as PLN, the state electricity company, will be doing routine maintenance on the Gilimanuk power plant, which currently supplies 130 MW to the grid.
A PLN spokesperson said on Wednesday that the routine maintenance was necessary to ensure a sustainable supply of electricity and that this April was the scheduled time for Bali’s largest power plant to be checked. The maintenance is scheduled for one week, April 7-13.
The work on Gilimanuk power plant would automatically reduce electricity supply by 130 MW. However, Bali was supplied with 690 MW and the peak load was close to 650 MW. Plans were in place for rolling blackouts, however, they would be minimized as much as possible. PLN hopes that customers can reduce their electricity use by 100 watts for each hour during peak time. Hotels and industries with generators are requested to support PLN by generating their own power at that time.
