The state exercises control over the branches of production, which are essential for the state and which control the lives of many people according to the Indonesian constitution. One of the most critical chapters of output for the country and which controls the livelihoods of many people is electricity. In the context of electricity supply, some power plants are built, operated, or owned by private business entities. What is the meaning of state control over the amount of electricity in the legislation in Indonesia? Why are private business entities involved in the supply of electricity in Indonesia? What is the impact of involving these private business entities in the availability of power in Indonesia? By using a socio-legal approach, the research stated that control over the supply of electricity has the meaning of the state making policies, taking care of, regulating, managing, and supervising for the maximum prosperity of the people. State control over the supply of electricity is not only meant by the state building, operating and owning it, but the state can provide it by cooperating with private business entities. The state collaborates with private businesses to produce electricity as an effort to realise people's welfare. Private business entities are involved in the business of supplying electricity, on the one hand, to provide power in sufficient quantities, reasonably and of sufficient quality, on the other to increase investment and the country's economy. Public-private partnership agreements are the basis for involving private business entities in the supply of electricity. The impact of it on the meaning of the context of electricity supply is the increasing number of private business entities involved in the supply of electricity, meaning the more amount of power. © Primrose Hall Publishing Group.
