Jakarta (B2B) - Asosiasi Pengelola Pusat Belanja Indonesia (APPBI) DPD DKI Jakarta meminta agar pemerintah, dalam hal ini Kementerian ESDM meninjau kembali rumusan kenaikan tarif dasar listrik (TDL) yang berlaku sejak Mei 2014.
"Kami orang awam, tidak tahu crude oil itu naiknya sebagaimana. Faktor itu yang saya rasa kurang bijak untuk dilakukan. Kami harapkan ada kebijakan TDL untuk cara penghitungannya," kata Ketua APPBI DKI Jakarta, Ellen Hidayat kepada pers di Jakarta, Selasa.
Menurutnya, kenaikan tarif listrik dilakukan secara berkala karena tidak kondusif bagi kegiatan perdagangan, khususnya para tenant yang harus menanggung kenaikan tarif listrik dan akibatnya konsumen yang paling dirugikan.
Sebagai pengelola mall, kata Ellen, anggota APPBI tidak dapat menaikkan harga sewa secara tiba-tiba, karena sistem sewanya kontrak selama lima tahun, sehingga hanya bisa menaikkan service charge di beberapa pusat perbelanjaan.
"Pusat perbelanjaan sangat prospektif untuk membuka lapangan pekerjaan, jadi pemerintah mestinya dapat meninjau kembali kenaikan tarif listrik ini," kata Ellen.
