JAKARTA - PT PGN Tbk emphasized that it will support government policies in order to maintain business sustainability and industrial competitiveness. As Pertamina's Gas Subholding, PGN provides support in terms of fulfilling natural gas energy as one of the operational components of the industrial sector.

"We are trying our best so that cooperation between the two parties is a symbiotic mutualism collaboration. We support each other so that natural gas distribution and absorption are maintained so that the gas needs of industry players are met. The hope is that PGN and industry can grow together to support the economy," said PGN Commercial Director Ratih Esti Prihatini, Friday, July 12.

Ratih said that PGN remains committed and supports government policies, including supporting the implementation of natural gas distribution to certain industries or HGBT.

PGN has distributed all HGBT volume received from suppliers to all HGBT recipient industries according to the HGBT allocation of each recipient that has been determined by the government, said Ratih.

Ratih further explained that operations, PGN as an open company is committed to carrying out operations in a transparent manner and according to the existing GCG and this can be checked by industrial colleagues in PGN's openness report.

He explained in his presentation how the mechanisms for distributing gas, constraints, and solutions offered are routine communication and two-way communication efforts which are expected to increase understanding between the two parties in business cooperation and the implementation of the strategic roles of each party for the state.

In the future, it is also hoped that there will be stimulation to maintain the continuity of the midstream and downstream business of natural gas as well as the ability of business entities as an extension of the government in developing natural gas infrastructure.

"PGN hopes to continue to be a central player in optimizing the use of natural gas. Given that infrastructure is still very much needed in various regions, both for industrial business actors, MSMEs and households that have not yet benefited from natural gas," concluded Ratih.
