KBLI 35114: Electricity Sales

KBLI 35114: Electricity Sales · Open to PMA

§ 01

Foreign investment rules

Indonesia's BUPM (Investment Business Fields) regulation places this code into one of five tracks. The track determines whether a foreign investor (PMA) can operate in this activity at all, and under what conditions.

Status · open

Fully open to foreign investment

KBLI 35114 is not on Indonesia's closed, conditional, SME-reserved or partnership-required schedules. A foreign investor may incorporate a PT PMA with up to 100% foreign ownership and operate in this activity directly.

This KBLI is not listed in any restricted, closed, SME-reserved or partnership-required schedule under Pres. Reg. 10/2021 (as amended). A 100% foreign-owned PT PMA may operate in this activity, subject to the licensing requirements shown below. BKPM's default minimum capital is IDR 2.5 billion paid-up with IDR 10 billion+ total investment commitment per KBLI realised over time, but sector regulators (OJK, ESDM, BPOM, Kominfo, etc.) can set higher minimums for specific activities — we confirm the actual figure before incorporation.
