JAKARTA - PT PLN Energi Primary Indonesia (PLN EPI) and JERA Co., Inc. have signed a Joint Development Study Agreement (JDSA) on June 17, 2025 to strengthen collaboration in the development of a liquefied natural gas supply chain (LNG) in Indonesia.

The signing of JDSA is a continuation of the memorandum of understanding (MoU) which was signed in February 2024.

President Director of PT PLN Energi Primary Indonesia (PLN EPI), Rakhmad Dewanto said, this joint study will focus on the commercial, financial and regulatory aspects, with the aim of strengthening PLN EPI and JERA's commitment to contribute to the development of Indonesia's energy landscape.

"The two companies will jointly explore, namely the potential for cooperation in the procurement, supply, and optimization of LNG; as well as opportunities for the development of LNG infrastructure, especially to support Indonesia's electricity sector," he said in a statement to the media, Thursday, August 14.

Seiring dengan upaya Indonesia untuk mendiversifikasi bauran energi dan meningkatkan ketahanan energi, lanjut dia, LNG semakin berperan penting sebagai bahan bakar pembangkit listrik yang rendah emisi, fleksibel, serta mampu mendukung keandalan pasokan sekaligus transisi menuju masa depan energi yang berkelanjutan.

Studi bersama ini memadukan keahlian global JERA di seluruh rantai pasok LNG dengan kepemimpinan PLN EPI di sektor kelistrikan Indonesia, guna menghadirkan solusi praktis dan berkelanjutan bagi transisi energi nasional.

Along with Indonesia's efforts to diversify the energy mix and increase energy security, he continued, LNG is increasingly playing an important role as fuel for low-emission, flexible, and able to support supply reliability as well as a transition to a sustainable energy future.

This joint study combines JERA's global expertise throughout the LNG supply chain with the leadership of PLN EPI in the Indonesian electricity sector, in order to present practical and sustainable solutions for the national energy transition.
