Sumedang, September 18, 2019 – Three thousand houses of underprivileged communities in Sumedang Regency, West Java, received free electricity connection as the "Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)" program from a number of companies including PT Cikarang Listrindo, as an effort to assist the government to realize an equitable energy program.
"There are three thousand (electricity connection) in Sumedang. Cikarang Listrindo together with other Companies supported this program," said the Commercial Director of PT Cikarang Listrindo, Matius Sugiaman during the ceremony of electricity installations for underprivileged communities in Ciulur Village, Tarunamanggala Village, Cimalaka District, Sumedang, Rabu.

"We can do this (contribution to the communities) due to the cooperation with the government. Cikarang Listrindo contributes only a small part of this program, "he said.
Director General of Electricity of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), Rida Mulyana, who was present at the hand-over ceremony, said that the free electricity connection was part of the government's effort to involve a number of companies including PLN, PT Cikarang Listrindo and other companies to help people get electricity network facilities. "Ensuring this program can run smoothly and on target, to create an equitable energy," he said.

He, his wife and two children informed that they have lived in the house on stilts for 11 years. With the Aid of this electricity, they feel more comfortable and safer to get light at night. "So far, we only hitch onto other houses, sometimes the cables are damaged. After this electricity installation, it feels safer," he said. He expressed his gratitude to the Sumedang Regency Government, PLN, ESDM and PT Cikarang Listrindo for the support for the underprivileged. "Now by this program (it) becomes light, thank you for helping," said Wahyudin, a tofu factory worker who was accompanied by his wife, Dede (30).
