Bhimasena Power, Batang Power Plant – PT Bhimasena Power Indonesia (BPI), the owner of Batang Power Plant, in collaboration with Kodim 0736/Batang, has provided assistance for the renovation of two uninhabitable houses (RTLH) along with furniture for fishermen in East Roban, Sengon Village, Batang Regency. The renovated houses were officially handed over on December 19, 2025.
General Manager of Stakeholder Relations of PT Bhimasena Power Indonesia, Aryamir H. Sulasmoro, stated that BPI’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program in 2025 is focused on supporting RTLH programs in villages surrounding the Batang Power Plant operational area. In addition to the two houses in East Roban, BPI has also provided renovation assistance for 12 other uninhabitable houses in several nearby villages in collaboration with the respective village governments.
“This program is a manifestation of the company’s commitment to contributing to the improvement of the quality of life of communities around our operational area. We hope this assistance can provide new hope for residents who previously lived in unfit housing conditions, enabling them to now have safe and comfortable homes,” said Aryamir H. Sulasmoro.
The Commander of Kodim 0736/Batang, Lt. Col. Inf. Andhika Baroto Chrishastantyo, represented by Deputy Commander (Kasdim) K. Sariyono, stated that the collaboration between Kodim and Batang Power Plant in the RTLH program reflects the synergy between the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) and the business sector in supporting community welfare.
“Through this RTLH program, we aim to help the community, especially fishermen, to have decent, safe, and healthy housing. Kodim 0736/Batang is ready to support social programs that have a direct impact on the community, particularly through collaboration with strategic partners such as Batang Power Plant,” he said. He also expressed hope that similar programs would continue and reach more residents in need, thereby strengthening the unity between the TNI and the people.
One of the beneficiaries, Ahmad Royakin, a fisherman from East Roban, expressed his appreciation to Batang Power Plant and Kodim 0736/Batang for the significant changes he has experienced.
“Alhamdulillah, after receiving assistance through the RTLH program, my house is now more livable and safer, allowing me to carry out my daily activities with greater peace of mind,” he said.
A similar sentiment was expressed by another East Roban fisherman, Ahmad Syafii. According to him, his home is now far more comfortable after the renovation.
“I hope that in the future BPI can continue to assist other residents in East Roban who still live in uninhabitable houses,” he said. (**)
