JAKARTA - Pertamina Patra Niaga targets to build 92 points for distributing One Price Fuel throughout Indonesia by 2022.

As for the beginning of November 2022, 69 points have been realized.

Pertamina Patra Niaga President Director, Alfian Nasution, said Pertamina is targeting 573 one-price fuel distribution agencies by 2024.

"Of the 390 one-price fuel distribution agencies that have been built in 123 districts, 54 of them are 3T areas," he said in a statement to the media, Thursday, November 3.

To continue to expand the reach of One Price Fuel, Pertamina Patra Niaga and the Upstream Oil and Gas Regulatory Agency (BPH Migas) inaugurated 47 one Price Fuel distribution agencies spread across several provinces.

The regions are 2 in West Nusa Tenggara, 10 in East Nusa Tenggara, 1 in West Sulawesi, 2 in North Sulawesi, 8 in Central Sulawesi, 5 in Maluku, 6 in North Maluku, 10 in Papua, and 3 in West Papua.

"First of all, we express our appreciation to the governors and regional heads for facilitating the presence of the one-price fuel distribution agency. One-price fuel is a form of success in providing easy access to fuel at the same price to 3T areas throughout Indonesia," continued Alfian.

He added that there are big challenges in the energy distribution process to the one-price fuel distribution agency, especially those located in the 3T area.

The reason is, fuel must be distributed using various modes of transportation, be it land, water, and air before arriving at the one-price fuel distribution agency.

"In fact, in certain areas such as Puncak Jaya Papua, it can even reach 6 or 8 times. However, this is Pertamina Patra Niaga's commitment to carry out the mandate to ensure access to energy for the community," explained Alfian.

Present on the same occasion, Head of BPH Migas Erika Retnowati said that her party has the task and responsibility to ensure and ensure energy distribution, especially the availability of affordable fuel in all corners of the country.

He hopes that the presence of One Price Fuel can be felt directly by the community so that it can move the economy of the 3T region.

"From the target of 92 points of the one-price fuel distribution agency in 2022, currently 69 points have been realized, meaning that we still have targets that need to be met," he concluded.
