   It is a such interesting topic when talking about electricity charges. Althoungh I’ve been working for PLN since 1993, but frankly I did not know that much of how is the structure of the tariff charged to consumers. In simple idea, tariff that is charged to consumers is so called HPP(Harga Pokok Produksi) or in economic term it is called “Production Cost”. If it is true, then losses is responsibles to the tariff. Take example of losses (technic and non-technic) in PLN Distribution of Jakarta which is as high as 10.06 (accumulative to first triwulan). May be, when the problem of losses is taken care seriously, the financial losses of PLN will be reduce significantly.

   I wish prices were going down in the UK. Unfortunately they continue to rise more and more. Mainly due to over-reliance on Russian gas.

   Can someone tell me how the distribution of electricity charges normally occurs in Jakarta between a corporate body, the owner of an appartment and the tenant.

   The tennat is normally responible for the utilities of the apartmentbase on the consumption they have used. PLN have a rate of RP621/kwh on a coding of ‘R3′. The appartment complex receives charges under the coding of B3.

   It has been my understanding that the Rent paid to the owner includes all the facilties within the complex, such as the gymnasim, swiming pool, restruant etc etc. The power necessary to run all the facilties of the comlex is the repsonsiblity of the Corporate body and that of the Owner, the tenant has nothing to do with it as the rent paid should include the use of these facilities. Well our electricity Bill is unbelievable, our meter reading for the month was 461kwh and we have been charged for 4610kwh, a factor of ten.
   Out bill shows we are charged under B3 and when questioning the building management the response has been” We believe the B3 charge the corporate body gets is very high and it is not fair they they have to pay it so the tenants have been charged to pay it.

   This is rediculous, unscrupuluos and highway robbery. Can anyone advise if their are any government regulations that control how these apartment bodies can charge for electricity or AT LEAST WHAT IS THE NORMAL.

   It should be noted here that the corpate body and the owners of the aprtments are one of the same persons.
