Bali News

For Bali (Indonesia) which has lot of energy sources, electricity crisis is an irony. More ironic thing is they showed their reaction with the usual shock and flounder culture when things get worse. Sign for electricity crisis has been showed far from this event finally occurred.

Unfortunately, government policy according to electricity could not reach its main point. We had seen Mutual Agreement Letter of five ministers which organize the industrial working period relocation signed and prevailed since July 21, 2008. Working period relocation taken advantage of Saturday and Sunday become difficult for industrial party. When there was high demand of orders, the industrialist should hold their self. What happen with the electricity of this country that has already reach 64 years independency?

Before SKB –Mutual Agreement Letter- signed by those ministers mentioned Industrial Working Period Relocation from the usual day into Saturday and Sunday will prevent for another black out. Besides, there will be retrenchment of energy utilization. There is no alternative for industrial party; they have to accept government resolution though it will affect their productivity to reduce.

Nevertheless, the infrastructure –including electricity- is a vital thing and strategic in economic supporter, especially for the corporate world. Read for Bali status of its critical state in electricity in next October, make it so dizzy. How if there will be supplying problem occur whereas Bali is the center of national tourism activity that will be the world barometer. This thing should evoke the consciousness of a big issue about energy crisis. Moreover, what will happen when we still depend a lot on oil, in which its price of is continuously more and more increase. Thus, the act to anticipate is needed, since it was a serious issue. Furthermore, each region has been given privilege to supply cheap electricity, fair and even.

The construction of new electrical generators is needed completely. In another side, there should be encouragement of retrenchment of electricity utilization especially when its climax loads. Drive it to the efficient utilization is part of electricity utilization retrenchment movement and that was crucial in short or long term period of time, since energy crisis will keep shadowing and thus as part of difficult thing we have to face in the future if we not try to do something today.

All this time we shown of how government always hide behind the high demand of electricity. This high demand shows for the movement of economic machine. But there is no sign that this crisis signal can be solved in this several years tend to be an excuse for the government to blame their effort in built reliable, strong and constant national electrical system.

The increasing of electricity consumption shows that our economy keeps growing vastly. This electricity consumption also appear as an indicator from the establishment success. Unfortunately, the electrical supply is not balance with the rate of thus consumption. Electricity crisis of Java – Bali is possible can disturb the establishment which is supported by the tourism industry.
