The data shows on Saturday (8/22) there are no disturbances in feeders, substations (GI), or transmissions belonging to PLN West Sumatra.

PLN hopes for the support and role of the community to combat disturbances, such as not playing kites around the electricity network and giving up their trees to be pruned when they hit the network.

PLN continues to strive to combat disruption until it becomes zero as a form of commitment to the best service to customers, he said.
