The facts
Residents and volunteers reported the next day that most areas were still fully blacked out, and Bahlil apologised on 9 December, saying the grid was not 93 percent restored. As of 11 December 2025 the energy ministry itself reported Aceh's electricity was only 36 percent restored, with transmission towers on the Langsa to Pangkalan Brandan line still down.
