"We are targeting this year to operate with three types of products, namely Solar, Pertalite, and Pertamax," he said, quoted by Antara, Monday, June 27.

According to Andy, the five points are on the Trans Papua route, Jayapura City, Wamena, Tolikara, and Puncak which will later meet the fuel needs of people in the Lapago area.

"Now the progress (construction) of gas stations in the Jayapura City area, Muara Tami District, Skow Sae, has reached 40 percent," he said.

He explained that in July 2022, the installation of fuel tanks had been carried out, so that gas stations are expected to be completed in September this year, as well as other gas stations.

"The construction of the one-price fuel gas station is a Presidential Instruction in 2021, which requires leading distribution agencies and the location of the Trans Papua road and the Indonesian-Papuan New Guinea border," he said.

If it is operational, he continued, this gas station will reduce queues in other places and make it easier for people to get their fuel needs.
