District report describes rotating interruptions
The government report follows a visit to PLN Tanah Grogot on 26 October. It describes rolling electricity interruptions rather than establishing a continuous blackout across all of Paser. The available account does not identify every affected location or say that all households and businesses lost electricity at the same time.
The visit date is a reporting reference, not a verified start time for the interruptions. No exact onset is established. The account also does not provide an address-level interruption schedule or a verified all-clear, so it cannot determine the current supply status at an individual property.
What the sources tell us, and what they do not
- Reported area
- Paser Regency, East Kalimantan; exact affected addresses unknown
- Attributed supply explanation
- Generating-unit disturbances and scheduled maintenance, according to PLN manager Raka in the district report
- Restoration
- Current schedule and completion time unknown
Supply explanation attributed to PLN manager
The district report quotes PLN Tanah Grogot manager Raka attributing reduced available supply to generating-unit disturbances and scheduled equipment maintenance. It describes rotating load management to balance supply and demand. This explanation is attributed to the manager through the district government’s account; a separate original PLN incident notice has not been read.
The evidence does not quantify the actual generation shortfall or the number of customer connections affected. It provides no confirmed completion time. It also establishes no technical connection with generation events in Bontang, Talisayan or Melak; those places cannot be combined into a single incident on this evidence.
