JAKARTA - The government through the Upstream Oil and Gas Regulatory Agency (BPH Migas) has set a quota for Pertalite's type of Assignment Special Fuel (JBKP) of 32.56 million kiloliters (KL) and Solar of 17 million KL.

Meanwhile, 0.5 million KL of kerosene (kerosene) is allocated.

Head of BPH Migas, Erika Retnowati, said JBKP quota increased by 2.6 million KLs from the previous year.

"This is based on the monthly consumption trend of fuel in 2022 which has approached normal after experiencing a decline during the pandemic," explained Erika, Friday, January 6.

Erika explained that this calculation still refers to the Presidential Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 191 of 2014, where details of user consumers and points of handover for Types of Special Fuel Assignments have not been determined.

"Currently, BPH Migas and other stakeholders are proposing a Revision of Presidential Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 191 of 2014 concerning the Provision, Distribution and Selling Price of Oil Fuel Retails, this is intended so that JBT and JBKP are right on target," continued Erika.

Erika also appealed to JBT Solar and JBKP Pertalite to be distributed on target.

In addition to improving regulations through the revision of the Presidential Decree 191/2014, control of fuel distribution is also improved by utilizing information technology, through the registration of user consumers on the right subsidy web, which can also be accessed through the My Pertamina application.

This is in accordance with the provisions in Presidential Decree 191/2014 that the distribution of JBT and JBKP is done in private.

"Later on, only registered consumers will be able to be served to obtain JBT and JBKP," concluded Nicke.
