Supiori - Since 3 months ago, the district Supiori (Supiori Island) Papua that bordering with Pacific Ocean began to enjoy electricity directly from PT PLN (Persero). The impact electricity expenditure could be reduced significantly from the previous use generators.
One resident Supiori named Emmanuel said, since December 2012 electricity began to enter its territory. It is his joy and welcome other people because electricity prices are far too cheap compared to the genset (generator set). "From December 2012 incoming power. Previous use genset, now I'm so glad. If you use more expensive generator. If the count can be 10 bottles of gasoline a day, it costs Rp 10,000 per bottle, so a day to Rp 100,000 for a home," said migrants from Ambon this, Saturday (02/09/2013)
He said that earlier people who want to get an electric Supiori have to buy generators that cost $ 3 million. Each generator is able to accommodate 5 liters of fuel, genset spend a day up to 10 liters of fuel. "So 10 liters from morning till night. Usually used to watch TV and VCD, as well as five 10 watt lamp lighting unit," he said. He said the inclusion of the cost of electricity is very low spending power needs. With a voucher system power, then the purchase of Rp 50,000 then it could meet the electricity needs in 1 month. "Work is my motorcycle, my income used to buy fuel for the generator runs out," he said.
He said after the power go to Supiori, demand for electronic goods in the region increased thus raising the price of electronic products. For example, prior to December 2012, the price of the amp for sound system only $ 600,000, but after the power up the price jumped to Rp 750,000. He hopes the development in Papua continue to be improved so as not to fall behind the other regions, especially Java. "So far we are jealous of Jakarta, everything is there," he said. The same is conveyed by Hendrikus, according to the entry of electricity in the region to make use of the generator has been abandoned. Hendrikus admits there are still weaknesses that power outages still occur. "Extinction 2 times a week, it was not long," he said.
Meanwhile, villagers Wonbonda, Supiori District, said his village including Justus Arpusau who were not lucky because it has not powered. New grid plan will go into territory this year. "I have not entered the village electricity. We just rely on large generators, day and night can be discharged 40 liter fuel oil mix for 400 people for 97 heads of household," he said.
