State-own electricity company (PLN) recorded a power sale of 16.52 tera watt hours (TWh) in February 2016, up 10.41 percent compared with that in the same month in 2015.
PLN Commercial Division Head Benny Marbun said in Jakarta on Sunday that the February sale maintained the relatively high upward trend in January 2016.
“Hopefully, the increase in the electricity sale indicates the recovery of the Indonesian economy,” Marbun said.
He said that the January-February 2016 sale amounted to 34.09 TWh, up 8.91 percent compared with the same period in 2015 (year-on-year).
In January 2016, the power sale reached a growth of 7.54 percent from that in January 2015. “The January 2016 figure is higher than the monthly figures during 2015. There is no monthly increase which exceeded five percent in 2015,” he added.
Electricity sale in 2015 stood at 202 TWh or up only 2.2 percent compared with that in the previous year in 2014 which was 194 TWh.
