not really reflective of the situation.
Places are not supplied with wattage.
They are supplied with voltage.
The voltage in Bali is 220V + - a bit.
The running of UG cables from Jakarta would be a miracle, both in terms of cost and practicality given that the straits between Java and Bali is extremely deep and no reasonable alternative to the current O/head transmission lines is about to happen.
I suggest that any shortages are due to generation constraints, and timed outages are due to subsequent load sharing.
