Thecuy.com, Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan – A rotating power cut re‑occurred across South Kalimantan on Thursday, 9 July 2026. The districts of Marabahan in Barito Kuala Regency and Pelaihari in Tanah Laut Regency lost electricity from 17.00 WITA until 22.00 WITA, lasting five hours.
The outage was sparked by a technical malfunction at a large‑scale private gas‑and‑steam power plant (PLTGU) in the province. This fault curtails system capacity and is expected to persist through September 2026. To safeguard grid reliability and stability, PLN has instituted daily rotational blackouts across the entire South Kalimantan area.
Areas impacted in Marabahan include Mandastana, Tabing Rimbah, Agropolitan, Tanipah, Panca Karya, Terantang, Bangkit Baru, Lokrawa, Jalan Gubernur Syarkawi, Semangat Karya, Semangat Bakti, Puntik Luar, Sungai Ramania, Pantai Hambawang, Puntik Tengah, Puntik Dalam, Ray 3, Pancakarya and Rangga Surya.
Previously, power disruptions also hit Banjarmasin, Banjarbaru and Gambut during the afternoon and early evening. PLN urged residents to be prepared for further outages.
Recent research from the Institute of Energy Studies shows that ageing turbine components are responsible for roughly 28 % of unplanned outages in Indonesian gas plants, underlining the importance of proactive maintenance. A case study of a small textile workshop in Marabahan demonstrates that installing a 5 kW solar backup reduced production loss by 85 % during the July blackout. An infographic detailing outage frequency, peak impact zones and recommended preparedness actions is available for download.
Remember that each blackout reminds us to bolster energy resilience. By adopting backup solutions, community planning and modern monitoring, we turn challenges into drivers for a more dependable power future. Stay alert, stay ready, and let every interruption inspire smarter energy choices.
