PLN electricity tariffs remain unchanged for November 2026
The electricity tariffs for PT PLN (Persero) customers remain unchanged for November 2026. Households and businesses across the country continue to pay rates consistent with the previous billing cycle, providing a stable energy cost environment for the first week of November.
Electricity Rates for Household Customers Remain Steady
For household consumers, the pricing structure for November 2026 holds firm across both subsidized and non-subsidized tiers. Customers using the R-1/TR small tier with a 900 VA-RTM connection pay Rp 1,352 per kWh. Those with 1,300 VA and 2,200 VA connections are charged Rp 1,444.70 per kWh. Meanwhile, medium-tier R-2 connections spanning 3,500 to 5,500 VA and large R-3 connections exceeding 6,600 VA both sit at Rp 1,699.53 per kWh.
Subsidized households experience separate, lower pricing tiers. Kompas.com details that subsidized R-1/TR customers with a 450 VA connection are charged Rp 415 per kWh, while those on the 900 VA subsidized tier pay Rp 605 per kWh. Prepaid and postpaid customers share identical per-kWh rates, though payment methods differ. Prepaid users purchase electricity tokens to load onto their meters, while postpaid customers settle their bills following a monthly consumption period.
Business and Industrial Sectors Maintain Stable Pricing
Business and industrial sectors also observe stable pricing through the first week of November. Kompas.com outlines that small business customers under the B-2/TR tier (6,600 VA to 200 kVA) are billed at Rp 1,444.70 per kWh. Medium business operations under the B-3/TM,TT tier exceeding 200 kVA pay Rp 1,114.74 per kWh.
Industrial rates scale lower for heavy energy consumers. Industrial customers classified under the I-3/TM tier (above 200 kVA) are charged Rp 1,114.74 per kWh. High-voltage industrial users under the I-4/TT tier (above 30,000 kVA) pay Rp 996.74 per kWh.
Government and Public Lighting Tariffs Remain Unchanged
Public service tariffs, government buildings, and street lighting maintain their established pricing schedules for November 2026. Government office connections under the P-1/TR tier and public street lighting under P-3/TR both cost Rp 1,699.53 per kWh, as noted by kompas.com. Medium-voltage government facilities under P-2/TM are billed at Rp 1,522.88 per kWh. Social service tariffs vary from Rp 325 per kWh for 450 VA connections up to Rp 925 per kWh for medium-voltage operations exceeding 200 kVA.
Online Methods for Checking Postpaid Electricity Bills
Postpaid customers can verify their monthly electricity charges online without waiting for physical bills or visiting a local utility office. Kompas.com outlines four primary digital channels for checking bills:
- SMS: Send a text message formatted as
REK [space] Customer IDto 8123 to receive automated monthly bill updates. - Call Center: Dial 123 from a mobile phone, connect with an operator, and provide the customer ID to obtain detailed balance information.
- Email: Send a message containing the customer ID or meter number and regional domicile to
pln123@pln.co.id. - PLN Mobile Application: Register an account using personal credentials, navigate to the billing section, and select the bill inquiry menu to review consumption history and active charges.
Quarterly Tariff Adjustment Regulations
The stability of these rates stems from the government’s periodic assessment schedule. Money.kompas.com notes that tariff adjustments for non-subsidized customers occur every three months under Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Regulation Number 28 of 2016, as amended by Regulation Number 8 of 2023. These adjustments factor in macroeconomic indicators including the rupiah exchange rate against the US dollar, inflation, the Indonesian Crude Price, and the Coal Benchmark Price. Because neither the government nor PLN announced modifications for the fourth quarter of 2026, the rates established for October remain in full effect through December.
