PLN Startup Day 2025 marked an important milestone in strengthening Indonesia’s clean energy innovation ecosystem. At this event, BETA-UAS was recognized as one of the top three startups in the incubation program. This achievement reflects not only the innovation and hard work behind our technology, but also opens the way for a strategic collaboration with PLN Electricity Services in transmission and distribution inspection services, as well as expert workforce management.
BETA-UAS Achievement at PLN Startup Day 2025
PLN Startup Day 2025 brought together startups working in green technology, clean energy, and related innovation sectors. The program was designed to strengthen Indonesia’s greentech ecosystem by connecting emerging technology companies with PLN, the country’s state-owned electricity company.
BETA-UAS being selected as one of the top three incubated startups is a strong recognition of the quality, relevance, and potential impact of the solutions we are developing.
This achievement is closely linked to our capability in developing drone-based technologies that support the efficiency, safety, and reliability of power grid operations, particularly for transmission and distribution inspection. Our solutions are designed to help PLN identify potential issues, defects, and risks earlier, allowing preventive actions to be taken before they affect service continuity.
Collaboration in Transmission and Distribution Inspection Services
As a follow-up to this recognition, BETA-UAS is developing a collaboration with PLN Electricity Services to support transmission and distribution inspection activities. The goal is to integrate our technology into PLN-related operations, making inspection processes faster, more accurate, and more cost-efficient.
The inspection service utilizes advanced drone technology and intelligent sensing systems to monitor power network assets more effectively. Through the data collected, PLN can support preventive maintenance planning and take corrective actions in a more timely manner.
This is especially important for Indonesia, where transmission and distribution networks cover vast areas and face various challenges, including complex terrain, weather conditions, and operational accessibility.
Expert Workforce Management as a Key Support System
Beyond inspection services, the collaboration also includes expert workforce management. BETA-UAS provides experienced professionals in drone system planning, operation, and maintenance to support PLN in managing and improving electricity network operations.
This expert workforce management ensures that the technology can be operated properly, consistently, and sustainably. It also helps PLN strengthen operational efficiency, asset reliability, and long-term service quality.
Positive Impact on Indonesia’s Clean Energy Ecosystem
The collaboration between BETA-UAS and PLN Electricity Services is expected to create value not only for both organizations, but also for the broader clean energy ecosystem in Indonesia.
With better inspection technology and skilled technical personnel, PLN can further improve the reliability of its electricity network, which plays a critical role in supporting the distribution and integration of renewable energy.
This direction is aligned with PLN’s broader vision of building a more sustainable clean energy ecosystem. Startups such as BETA-UAS play an important role in this transition by providing practical technology solutions that support operational efficiency, carbon reduction, and the adoption of cleaner energy systems.
Next Steps for BETA-UAS and PLN
Moving forward, BETA-UAS remains committed to continuously improving its inspection technology and expert support services for PLN. We also aim to expand this collaboration to more regions across Indonesia, particularly in areas with challenging geography and complex electricity infrastructure.
At the same time, we will continue to innovate and develop solutions that are more efficient, reliable, and environmentally responsible. With PLN’s support, we believe BETA-UAS can contribute meaningfully to accelerating Indonesia’s energy transition and strengthening the future of the national electricity sector.
