Abstract

The mining sector is one of the largest contributors to carbon emissions in Indonesia, mainly due to the intensive use of diesel- and B40-fueled dump trucks in mining operations. The mandatory implementation of B40 starting January 1, 2025, is expected to reduce dependence on fuel imports and support the national target of achieving Net Zero Emission (NZE) by 2060; however, this policy also increases operational costs for mining companies because the price of B40 is higher than conventional diesel. In this context, the electrification of mining vehicles through the adoption of electric vehicle (EV) dump trucks emerges as a potential solution to simultaneously reduce operational costs and carbon emissions. This study aims to analyze the technical and economic feasibility of transitioning mining dump trucks from diesel/B40 to EV trucks. The research employs a descriptive quantitative method with a case study approach. Technical analysis is conducted to estimate electrical power requirements, fast-charging capacity based on the GB/T standard, and operating load profiles of EV trucks under mining conditions. Economic analysis involves a comparison of operating costs between diesel-based dump trucks and EV trucks, as well as an evaluation of key financial indicators, including Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Benefit–Cost Ratio (B/C), and Payback Period. In addition, a strategic analysis is carried out to assess the broader implications of mining electrification for PLN’s business strategy, cost efficiency for mining operators, and alignment with national energy transition objectives. Overall, this study is expected to contribute to policy formulation by providing evidence-based insights on the role of EV trucks in supporting cost-efficient, low-emission mining operations and accelerating Indonesia’s transition toward a more sustainable and decarbonized energy system.

Abstract

Transformasi industri ketenagalistrikan mendorong perusahaan utilitas untuk mengembangkan sumber pendapatan di luar penjualan energi listrik. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh digitalisasi aset dan pengelolaan aset terhadap efisiensi operasional, inovasi berbasis layanan aset, serta pendapatan Beyond kWh di PLN Unit Pelaksana Transmisi (UPT) Pematangsiantar. Pendekatan penelitian menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan analisis Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Data diperoleh melalui penyebaran kuesioner kepada 107 responden yang terdiri atas pegawai yang terlibat dalam pengelolaan aset, operasi transmisi, perencanaan, dan fungsi pendukung lainnya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengelolaan aset berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap efisiensi operasional serta inovasi berbasis layanan aset. Sebaliknya, digitalisasi aset belum menunjukkan pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap efisiensi operasional maupun inovasi layanan. Penelitian ini juga menemukan bahwa inovasi berbasis layanan aset memiliki pengaruh signifikan terhadap pendapatan Beyond kWh, sedangkan efisiensi operasional belum memberikan dampak langsung terhadap peningkatan pendapatan non-kWh. Temuan tersebut menegaskan bahwa optimalisasi aset transmisi tidak cukup hanya melalui digitalisasi, tetapi memerlukan tata kelola aset yang kuat dan pengembangan model bisnis inovatif. Penelitian ini diharapkan dapat menjadi referensi bagi PLN dalam memperkuat strategi pemanfaatan aset untuk mendukung transformasi bisnis Beyond kWh. The transformation of the electricity industry has encouraged utility companies to develop alternative sources of value and revenue beyond electricity sales. This study aims to analyze the effects of asset digitalization and asset management on operational efficiency, asset service-based innovation, and employees’ perceived Beyond kWh revenue performance at PLN Transmission Implementation Unit (UPT) Pematangsiantar. The study employed a quantitative approach using the Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 107 respondents consisting of employees involved in asset management, transmission operations, planning, and other supporting functions. The results indicate that asset management has a positive and significant effect on operational efficiency and asset service-based innovation. In contrast, asset digitalization does not show a significant effect on either operational efficiency or asset service-based innovation within the proposed model. The study also finds that asset service-based innovation has a positive and significant effect on employees’ perceived Beyond kWh revenue performance, whereas operational efficiency does not demonstrate a significant effect. These findings suggest that optimizing transmission assets requires not only digitalization initiatives but also strong asset governance and the development of innovative asset utilization business models. However, the findings should be interpreted with caution as they are based on employees’ perceptions and indicate a high degree of similarity among several constructs, which warrants further investigation in future studies. This study is expected to provide insights for PLN in strengthening asset utilization strategies to support its Beyond kWh business transformation.

Abstract

Transisi energi pada sistem kelistrikan isolated grid di wilayah kepulauan menghadapi tantangan dalam menjaga keseimbangan antara keandalan pasokan listrik dan efisiensi biaya operasi. Nusa Penida sebagai sistem kelistrikan hybrid yang mengintegrasikan Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Diesel (PLTD), Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Surya (PLTS), dan Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) menjadi contoh penting dalam implementasi transisi energi pada wilayah terpencil. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis hubungan kausal antara kinerja PLTD, kinerja PLTS, harga bahan bakar, dan kondisi sistem ketenagalistrikan terhadap konsumsi bahan bakar, produksi energi listrik, dan biaya operasi pembangkitan. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif eksplanatori dengan metode Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) berdasarkan data operasional bulanan sistem PLT Hybrid Nusa Penida periode 2021–2025. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kinerja PLTS berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap System of Electricity (β = 0,852; p < 0,001) dan Electricity Generation (β = 0,409; p < 0,001), serta berpengaruh negatif dan signifikan terhadap Fuel Consumption (β = -0,635; p < 0,001). Selain itu, Fuel Price of Generation berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap Operating Cost of Generation (β = 0,316; p = 0,003), sedangkan Electricity Generation berpengaruh negatif dan signifikan terhadap Operating Cost of Generation (β = -0,757; p = 0,027). Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa peningkatan kontribusi energi terbarukan tidak hanya mampu mengurangi konsumsi bahan bakar diesel, tetapi juga berpotensi menurunkan biaya operasi pembangkitan melalui optimalisasi bauran energi. Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi empiris berupa model terintegrasi yang menghubungkan variabel teknis, ekonomi, dan sistem pada pembangkit hybrid berbasis data operasional nyata dari sistem isolated grid. Hasil penelitian dapat menjadi dasar dalam pengembangan strategi manajemen energi yang lebih adaptif untuk mendukung efisiensi operasi dan transisi energi berkelanjutan di wilayah kepulauan. The energy transition in isolated island power systems faces significant challenges in balancing electricity supply reliability and operational cost efficiency. Nusa Penida, as a hybrid power system integrating Diesel Power Plants (DPP), Solar Photovoltaic Power Plants (SPP), and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), represents an important case for implementing energy transition strategies in remote areas. This study aims to analyze the causal relationships among diesel power plant performance, solar power plant performance, fuel prices, and electricity system conditions on fuel consumption, electricity generation, and generation operating costs. A quantitative explanatory approach was employed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) based on monthly operational data from the Nusa Penida Hybrid Power Plant system covering the period 2021–2025. The results indicate that solar power plant performance has a positive and significant effect on the System of Electricity (β = 0.852; p < 0.001) and Electricity Generation (β = 0.409; p < 0.001), while exerting a negative and significant effect on Fuel Consumption (β = -0.635; p < 0.001). Furthermore, Fuel Price of Generation has a positive and significant effect on Operating Cost of Generation (β = 0.316; p = 0.003), whereas Electricity Generation has a negative and significant effect on Operating Cost of Generation (β = -0.757; p = 0.027). These findings demonstrate that increasing the contribution of renewable energy not only reduces diesel fuel consumption but also has the potential to lower generation operating costs through the optimization of the energy mix. This study contributes empirically by developing an integrated model that links technical, economic, and system variables using real operational data from an isolated grid system. The findings provide a valuable basis for developing more adaptive energy management strategies to support operational efficiency and sustainable energy transition in island-based power systems.

Abstract

Penelitian ini mengevaluasi hubungan energi terbarukan dengan kinerja pembangkitan dan kinerja keuangan PT PLN (Persero), serta menguji peran mediasi kinerja pembangkitan. Pendekatan kuantitatif eksplanatori digunakan pada 12 observasi tahunan periode 2014–2025 yang bersumber dari laporan resmi PLN dan statistik ketenagalistrikan. Analisis dilakukan dengan Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). Renewable Energy direpresentasikan oleh kapasitas EBT dan porsi energi terbarukan, sedangkan Kinerja Pembangkitan mencakup indikator operasional seperti capacity factor dan generation, dan Kinerja Keuangan menggunakan rasio profitabilitas pada dataset penelitian. Hasil model struktural menunjukkan hubungan sangat kuat antara Renewable Energy dan Kinerja Pembangkitan (β=0,995; p<0,001; R²=0,989). Namun, Renewable Energy tidak berhubungan signifikan dengan Kinerja Keuangan (p=0,555), Kinerja Pembangkitan juga tidak berhubungan signifikan dengan Kinerja Keuangan (p=0,537), dan pengaruh tidak langsung melalui Kinerja Pembangkitan tidak signifikan (p=0,538). Evaluasi model pengukuran menunjukkan HTMT sebesar 1,000 antara Renewable Energy dan Kinerja Pembangkitan, sehingga validitas diskriminan kedua konstruk belum terpenuhi. Oleh karena itu, koefisien jalur yang sangat tinggi perlu ditafsirkan secara hati-hati. Temuan mengindikasikan bahwa perubahan energi terbarukan lebih tampak beriringan dengan indikator operasional daripada dengan profitabilitas agregat, tetapi re-spesifikasi konstruk dan data yang lebih kaya diperlukan sebelum menarik kesimpulan kausal atau kebijakan yang kuat. This study evaluates the relationships between renewable energy, generation performance, and the financial performance of PT PLN (Persero), while testing the mediating role of generation performance. An explanatory quantitative approach was applied to 12 annual observations for 2014–2025 obtained from PLN official reports and national electricity statistics. The model was estimated using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). Renewable Energy was represented by renewable installed capacity and renewable energy share; Generation Performance included operational indicators such as capacity factor and electricity generation; and Financial Performance used profitability ratios available in the research dataset. The structural model showed a very strong relationship between Renewable Energy and Generation Performance (β=0.995; p<0.001; R²=0.989). However, Renewable Energy was not significantly related to Financial Performance (p=0.555), Generation Performance was not significantly related to Financial Performance (p=0.537), and the indirect effect through Generation Performance was not significant (p=0.538). Measurement-model evaluation produced an HTMT value of 1.000 between Renewable Energy and Generation Performance, indicating that discriminant validity between the two constructs was not established. The very high path coefficient should therefore be interpreted cautiously. The findings suggest that renewable-energy changes are more visibly associated with operational indicators than with aggregate profitability, but construct re-specification and richer data are required before strong causal or policy conclusions can be drawn.
