Abstrak
This study aims to analyze the optimization of skylift truck usage in contributing to the maintenance of 20 kV distribution networks without power outages (live line maintenance) at PT PLN (Persero) UP3 Sidoarjo. The research employs a quantitative approach using observational data from 12 maintenance activities conducted between April and July 2025. The independent variable is the intensity of skylift usage, while the dependent variables include saved energy (kWh), saved revenue (Rp), and work productivity. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and simple linear regression. The results show that skylift usage has a significant and positive effect on all dependent variables. The coefficient of determination (R²) for saved energy and saved revenue is 0.994, indicating that 99.4% of the variation is explained by skylift usage, while productivity shows an R² of 0.930 (93%). The findings indicate that optimizing skylift utilization significantly enhances technical efficiency, economic benefits, and operational productivity. Therefore, skylift trucks play a strategic role in improving the reliability of power distribution systems and service quality without interrupting electricity supply.
