President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) recognizes that the power plant construction project 35 thousand Megawatt (MW) is an ambitious project of the government. But according to Jokowi, does not mean that the project is not realistic. Given the demand for electricity in Indonesia is very large, then Jokowi asked that the project was on target. "Many have said that the 35 thousand MW project was an ambitious target. But indeed it needs as it is. Therefore, the figure of 35 thousand MW if there is a problem in the field, that's what investors look for solutions so that investment can really carry out the investment, "said Jokowi at JCC, Senayan, Central Jakarta, Wednesday (19/08/2015).

Related the statement of the Coordinating Minister of Maritime Rizal Ramli, who called the project could not be achieved within five years of the reign of Jokowi-JK, President Jokowi would say that the project will cost up to hundreds of trillions of rupiah it as a challenge for ministers. Members of the National Energy Agency (BEN), Professor Tumiran said, to realize the ideals of 35,000 Mw of electrical energy supply is not an easy task. Therefore, to make it happen should be backed up with a comprehensive policy on all fronts so that the program is running according to the stages and expectations. According to my own personal opinion I was agree with the president's decision Jokowi Widodo with power plant project of 35 thousand megawatts.

The first reason that project  must be run because it is huge and growing countries need such as Indonesia. We should realize that the electrical capacity that now exists in Indonesia is not sufficient to supply the entire needs of the people and companies that exist in Indonesia. Even if we look around there are scheduling blackouts, even the big cities such as Balikpapan and Tenggarong who that got the rotating blackouts by PLN to cover the electricity consumption is at above the limit.

The second reason why this program needs to keep running are still many areas in Indonesia that still hadn't electricity. There are still many remote areas that have not even completely can enjoy the power which is only to illuminate the lights at night. This issue is the central issue How to the distribution of development in Indonesia process must occur at the initial step equitable distribution of electrical energy. Indonesia should be the Developed Countries and Developed Countries must to be high-tech State and high-tech State shall be entitled to an adequate backup source of electricity.

From two point above that has to be a priority obligation and the requirement to implement the Program Power 35 thousand Megawatts (MW). We can see it from the immediate requirement in Indonesia is that it requires the construction of large power. It is time now for us to move is not the time for Indonesia to complain but the time for Indonesia to work, work and work. The last thing I want to convey this electrical energy’s program is very useful and beneficial programs must occur to process.
