Previously, Ministry of Industry Spokesperson Febri Hendri Antoni Arif admitted that his party received many letters and reports from the HGBT user industry that felt the impact of limiting gas purchase volume with HGBT to 48 percent from the previous 60 percent imposed by PT Perusahaan Gas Negara Tbk (PGN).
The tightening of gas supply at special prices, according to Febri, will have a broad impact on the sustainability of the manufacturing industry. Supply disruption and high gas surcharge, such as the tariff imposed by PT PGN of 16.77 US dollars per MMBTU, burdening business actors, especially in the energy-intensive sector, such as the ceramics, glass, steel, fertilizers, petrochemicals and autochemicals industry.
