Prior to a deregulated electricity market, the ownership and exploitation of electric power systems (STL) is done by a legal entity of a vertically integrated generation, transmission through controlled distribution in one hand. In this case, PLN is a business entity, which holds the power of the electricity business in Indonesia. Within this state there is a section that serves as a control center that regulates electrical power system energy management system (SME), in this case is P3B for Java, Madura, Bali system. SME is based SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) which have facilities planning and analysis functions of the operating system is aimed at optimizing the generation and distribution of electrical energy.

SME functions:

* Prediction of short-term load
* Set the unit commitment
* Dispatch (orders) the operation of power plants
* Controlling the reactive power
* Assess the condition of the system
* Controlling the power automatically
* Prevention and control of emergency safety

This control center also regulate power flow between the regions to enhance system security and back up. In addition to the control center, there is usually also the body that establishes the reliability and planning criteria for STL. But it has not been deregulated, again this criteria set by PLN itself.

The characteristics of typical STL is still dominated by the vertically integrated business:

* Monopoly (naturally occur due to a very large investment properties), but regulated by the Law
* Relying on the principle of “least cost” (least cost) for the planning and operation
* This fee covers the generation, transmission and distribution up to a connection point on the consumer
* Rates are determined or regulated electricity consists of the cost of production plus profit set by the government, but often the price distortion caused by political intervention.
* Rules electricity tariff rate of return is intended to ensure that manufacturers can cover all the costs of production

Examples of distorted tariff is the most obvious place in Indonesia, the New Order era, subsidized electricity rates are so great that people feel have electricity “cheap”. Even worse, some governments afterwards did not dare to raise electricity tariffs if before the election, although there are arguments rising rates will cause new costs, social costs of the turmoil in the community and certainly an unpopular incumbent. Cheap fare is actually false, because the state is actually the one who should pay the subsidies, which in fact is the people of this country financed from taxes. If countries are not burdened with subsidies for electricity, the existing budget can be used for other things, for example for education, small business development and so on.

Each company has a different vision and mission, all depending on the objectives to be achieved by the respective – respective companies. Usually the vision and mission was made when the company was to be built, because the vision and mission to become the basis for a firm foundation. Therefore, no question about it, that the role of corporate vision and mission is very important.

But before knowing the importance of corporate vision and mission, let us discuss first what is the sense of vision and mission:

The term vision is derived from the vision that comes from the English language that have meaning vision. Vision can be interpreted in question is an overview of the company’s long-term objectives or plans will be achieved by a company. Vision usually contains a brief and clear statement, but can cover all the objectives and ideals – ideals of the company. Examples of vision PT. Commerce Lantabura Caliph: “Anyone Can Succeed Helping Business”

Corporate image is important for any company because it is an overall impression of a society formed minds about the company.

Such premises, the company’s image can be perceived as a mental image selectively. Because the overall impression about the characteristics of a company who would later form the corporate image the public minds.

Each company can have more than one image depending on the condition of the company interactions with different groups, such as: customers, employees, shareholders, suppliers where each group has different experiences and relationships with the company. Therefore, the company’s image can be rated positively or negatively.

To that end, companies need to communicate clearly about the company expected, so it can direct the community in a positive corporate image. Furthermore, the image is the result of an assessment of a number of attributes, but the image is not the assessment itself, because the image is the most prominent consumer impression of the company, which is evaluated and considered by consumers in making purchasing decisions.
