Abstract

Objective -This study aims to analyze the legal and contractual aspects related to the dispute over the extension of time in the PLN transmission project in Central Sumatra. This study focuses on the process, obstacles, and challenges faced in resolving the dispute. Methodology/Approach– The study uses a case study approach by analyzing contract documents, mediation processes, and related agreements between PLN and contractors. This study also examines the main elements of contracts within the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) framework and evaluates the mediation process facilitated by the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP). Findings– The results of the study showed that the delay in project completion, which was mostly caused by contractor inefficiency and external factors, resulted in disputes related to time extensions. Although contractors submitted justifications such as design changes, additional work, and external constraints, these reasons were considered inadequate by PLN. Mediation efforts provided a partial solution but also revealed systemic problems in contract management and dispute resolution mechanisms. Novelty/Benefits– This study contributes to the understanding of time extension disputes in large-scale infrastructure projects, and offers insights into effective dispute resolution strategies. The findings can serve as practical guidance for stakeholders in managing similar conflicts in the future while maintaining professional relationships.Keywords – Extension of time, Construction contract, Mediation,

Abstract

Electricity infrastructure development is a national strategic sector directly intersecting with energy sovereignty and public interest. Therefore, construction contract disputes therein involve an intersection between private law and public law regimes. This research aims to critically analyze the basis of BANI’s legitimacy and the limitations of its authority in resolving government-construction contract disputes in the electricity sector. This is intended to guarantee the protection of energy sovereignty and the principle of legality in government administration. The research method applied is a normative juridical approach using the statute, conceptual, and case approaches, with a prescriptive, deductive syllogism analysis technique. The research results indicate that BANI’s legitimacy is derivative and limited. The arbitration institution lacks the adjudicative authority to review the validity of state administrative decisions or to set aside public electricity safety standards. These findings assert that BANI’s role must be reconstructed to remain within the corridor of purely commercial aspects without exceeding the administrative authority of public officials (ultra vires) in managing national strategic infrastructure. In conclusion, the limitation of arbitration authority is a manifestation of the limited delegation of authority doctrine, necessary to maintain state administration accountability while providing legal certainty for energy investment. This reconstruction makes a theoretical contribution by harmonizing party autonomy in civil law with legal sovereignty in the realms of Constitutional Law and State Administrative Law.
