JAKARTA - PT Pertamina (Persero) noted that until September 2023, Pertamina had built a one-price fuel distribution agency in 472 locations.

Vice President of Corporate Communication of PT Pertamina (Persero) Fadjar Djoko Santoso detailed that there were 71 locations in Sumatra, 5 points in Java and Bali, 96 points in Kalimantan, 70 points in Maluku, 87 points in Nusa Tenggara, and 94 points in Papua.

"Until the end of 2024, this program is expected to reach 573 locations," said Fadjar in a statement to the media, Tuesday, October 3.

He added, in addition to distributing Fuel Types of Certain Oil Fuel (JBT) and Types of Assignment Special Oil Fuel (JBKP), Fadjar added, distribution agencies can also sell other quality fuel products such as Pertamax, Dex Series, and Non-Subsidized LPG such as Bright Gas and LPG 12 Kg.

Currently, he added, Pertamina through Subholding Commercial & Trading is developing the One Price Fuel program in two ways, namely accelerating the construction of 1 Price Fuel through the assistance of acceleration devices and increasing the reliability of gas station facilities and facilities, in the form of Mini Gas Stations and Pertamina Shop (Pertashop).

"As a state-owned company, Pertamina carries out the mandate of the law to provide energy in all corners of the country based on the principle of availability, accessibility (open access) affordability, acceptability (market acceptance) and sustainability," he continued.

Just so you know, since 2017, the Government of President Joko Widodo has carried out a breakthrough by building a fuel distribution agency in the 3T (Outermost, Frontier and Disadvantaged) region by imposing the same price of motorized vehicle fuel (BBM) throughout Indonesia.

In the initial roadmap, the One Price Fuel Program which took place in the 2017 2019 period targeted 150 distribution facilities. However, the large benefits enjoyed by the community in the 3T area encourage the Government together with Pertamina as BUMN to commit to expanding the program until 2024.

"Pertamina will continue to support the Government's efforts to distribute fuel for people in the 3T area, so that they can buy fuel, especially subsidized fuel at the same price as other areas where gas stations are available," concluded Fadjar.
