Disruption of electrical service is common in Indonesia, particularly when it rains as the tropical storms can cause broken connections, broken cables or debris falling onto the power lines. In addition, the non-payment of electric bills by individuals, factories, and even city governments is common. PLN had had to find innovative ways to ensure that customers have access to a myriad of methods to not only top-up the prepaid payment system in place, but to also feel like they have control over their electricity consumption. The offer of prepaid top up through a single SMS in real-time has eased the lives of many. If a customer’s prepaid credit becomes exhausted, the electricity is automatically cut off, making this solution a crucial gifting opportunity.
