"Siemens is recognized as a leader in the electricity sector, as evidenced by our success in energizing or synchronizing the ten substations of PLN and the industry. We are proud to take part in the efforts of the Government and PLN to provide adequate electricity supply to meet the growing national demand, "said Jitendra Pratap Singh, Head of the ASEAN Transmission Solutions Business Unit, PT Siemens Indonesia.

As the country with the fourth largest population in the world, Indonesia's electricity demand is increasing rapidly every year. To meet these needs, the Indonesian government has launched the 35,000 megawatt Strategies Program to ensure the availability of electricity supply by 2020. Within 5 years, the Indonesian government together with PLN and the private sector will build hundreds of electricity infrastructure throughout Indonesia.

For that PLN needs to collaborate to get the capacity, resources, experience and expertise required.

Therefore, finding the right partner is the best way for the government to implement the program. Siemens Indonesia as one of the leading companies that have the resources, experience and expertise in the planning and implementation of power system, and the ability of localization is the right partner for the development of electricity infrastructure in Indonesia
