Regarding the 50 percent discount on electricity rates, President Director of PT PLN Darmawan Prasodjo said that the tariff discount was intended for prepaid and postpaid electricity customers.

For people who use prepaid electricity, the way to get discounts is to buy electricity tokens as usual. Purchases can be made anywhere, including through PLN Mobile. Later the token price will be discounted by 50 percent so that customers simply pay half according to the desired token.

"For our prepaid customers, we will automatically adjust that the purchase of credit that was previously Rp. 100,000, for example for certain kWh, will only be Rp. 50,000, only half of it," Darmawan explained.

In order to get the latest PLN token discount, here is how to buy electricity pulses through the PLN Mobile application.

Make sure to have installed the PLN Mobile application on your cellphone. If not, the public can download it via the Google Play Store (Android) or App Store (iOS).

After that select the nominal electricity token you want to buy. There are several nominal tokens from the smallest nominal, namely IDR 20,000 to IDR 1,000,000.

Make payments through the desired platform, via bank transfer, e-wallet (OVO, GoPay, DANA), or other available methods.
