Bali Governor Made Mangku Pastika said, the issue of availability of electrical energy in Bali that have entered phase ‘critical’ current can be overcome by High Voltage Air Connection (SUTT). But this SUTT has yet to be terealiasasi because there banging party with the socio-cultural studies, including the matter of the sanctity of the temple.
“Electricity is very important, we must have a power source, either a stand-alone in Bali or a more in Java, why are not taken to Bali, the issue is now how to take it from Java electricity safely,” said Pastika in Kuta, today (6/10).
Pastika is safe is to secure everything, whether it is safe from the environmental side, soaisl aspects of culture, and society could be well received because it was for the benefit of the people.
“Underwater electric cable from Java to Bali technically dangerous, this time it was a lot of (cable) is broken. The most possible right now is High Voltage Air Connection (SUTT). That’s 350 meters high above sea level, so relatively safe, “said Pastika.
SUTT cable from Java to Bali, Pastika said, would ‘fall’ in the Park area of West Bali, Jembrana, with cable 45 meters height above the ground.
“It makes sense if it passes SUTT Park West Bali, as long as not to damage the environment, radiation is only about 3 meters (under the cable stretch), tree height (in the Garden of Bali Barar) 20 meters, so a cable 45 meters high, is safe,” Pastika said.
Related SUTT plan is the Java-Bali electricity, Pastika said, the institute had heard the results of studies of environmental experts and social-cultural specialists. While in terms of technical studies had no problems.
“The technical studies (SUTT) is not the problem, which still is a socio-cultural issues, nothing to do with public opinion-do it, so please you (journalists) to help me, do not pertentangkan people continue to fuss, the noise about the sanctity Bali and the sanctity of the temple. When talking about the sanctity of (temple), all people do not want the sanctity (temple) is disturbed, “said Pastika with high tone.
Electrical problem in Bali, Pastika said, must be immediately addressed so as not to cause problems later on.
“50 thousand people are currently waiting (installed) electricity in Bali, not to mention the needs of the industrial sector, parwisata and so on, so the problem of electricity in Bali do not always associated with the sanctity of the island of Bali and temples and so on, because it is certain to be still maintained, “Pastika said.
