Starting February 1, 2025, the government will implement a new policy regarding the distribution of energy subsidies to ensure that the subsidy is right on target.

The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) has announced that Pertamina's official agent is no longer allowed to sell 3 kg LPG to retailers.

This government policy aims to improve the distribution system of 3 kg LPG so that it is more controlled and efficient.

With this new regulation, the government hopes that the price received by the community will remain in accordance with the predetermined limits, as well as preventing price spikes due to distributions that are not in accordance with procedures.

This step was taken as an effort by the government to reorganize the distribution of energy subsidies to make them more efficient and effective. Thus, it is hoped that the 3 kg LPG subsidy can be really on target and enjoyed by people in need.
