Previously, electricity only lasted 4 hours, Sembur Island fishermen are now served by PLTS

Part of the national PLTS program

The launch of the Sembur Island PLTS took place on August 25 2026 as part of the inauguration and groundbreaking of the 100 GWp PLTS Development Program. President Prabowo Subianto launched the program from Bali through hybrid activities.

Riau Islands Regional Secretary Misni attended the agenda on Sembur Island, accompanied by Darwin from the Riau Islands ESDM Service.

The Riau Islands ESDM Service expressed its support for the development of new, renewable energy and equitable access to electricity in the archipelago.

For the residents of Sembur Island, the most obvious change currently is the availability of electricity 24 hours a day. The next stage is to ensure that the supply remains reliable and can be used to support the livelihoods of fishing communities.
