JAKARTA - Pertamina Patra Niaga Regional Southern Sumatra (Sumbagsel) ensures that the distribution of fuel oil (BBM) runs safely and smoothly to meet the needs of the people of Bengkulu Province.

Area Manager Communication, Relations, & CSR of Pertamina Regional Sumbagsel, Tjahyo Nikho Indrawan said, Pertamina noted that for the Bengkulu area the consumption of subsidized Bio Solar Fuel had touched 7 percent of the projected Bio Solar Subsidized BBM quota for July 2022, with an average daily consumption of 310 KL per day.

"Pertamina Patra Niaga Regional Sumbagsel continues to invite people to use fuel wisely, namely according to vehicle specifications, so that subsidized fuel can be accepted by people who are entitled to it," said Nikho in an official statement, Tuesday, August 16.

In addition, Nikho regretted that there were still many coal trucks that were still filling up with subsidized fuel. Pertamina also continues to instruct all gas stations to be able to distribute subsidized fuel to people who are entitled to it.

Based on a circular from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources / No.4.E/MB.01/DJB.S/2022 regarding the distribution of certain types of fuel (JBT) and Presidential Regulation No. 191 of 2014, trucks transporting minerals and coal are prohibited from filling subsidized bio-diesel fuel.

"Pertamina Patra Niaga Regional Sumbagsel continues to be committed to distributing subsidized fuel in a targeted manner and can be enjoyed by people who really have the right," he concluded.
