PENAJAM - The North Penajam Paser Regency Government, East Kalimantan, is targeting all residents in the area to enjoy household gas connections from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) program.
This is in accordance with the wishes of local residents who also hope that the central government can increase the quota or connection quota for household gas flows in their area.
"There are many wishes from the people of North Penajam Paser Regency regarding the connection of household gas flows to the ESDM Ministry program. Hopefully in the future all residents can enjoy it," said North Penajam Paser Regency Regional Secretary, Tohar, in Penajam, as reported by Antara, Saturday, March 26.
Currently, according to Tohar, residents who have not yet received a household gas network hope that the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources can immediately accommodate them, so that they can immediately enjoy a connection to the flow of household gas.
Since two years the ESDM Ministry program has been running in North Penajam Paser Regency, not all households in the area have been accommodated. "Households in the North Penajam Paser area who received the house gas network program, only 9,354 household gas flow connections," said Tohar.
The number, called Tohar, only covers three villages and nine sub-districts throughout North Penajam Paser Regency," he said. Geographical conditions and population settlements in North Penajam Paser Regency, which are far apart, are an obstacle to installing household gas connections.
However, said Tohar, the district government continues to push for the fulfillment of the people's desire to get the gas connection.
The connection of the household gas flow, he said, is a strategic step for the central government to replace the use of petroleum, namely by increasing the use of natural gas for the household sector and small customers.
The construction of a natural gas distribution network for households, he said, is a national priority program that aims to diversify energy as an acceleration of reducing the use of petroleum.
