Jakarta - Energy and Mineral Resources Minister (ESDM) Bahlil Lahadalia ensures the supply of LPG for domestic needs is safe amid global turmoil due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
Indonesia obtains supplies from a number of countries, including the United States and Australia. This was conveyed by Bahlil after attending a Government Working Meeting at the State Palace, Jakarta, Wednesday, April 8.
On the same occasion, Bahlil explained that additional LPG supplies would arrive soon. The carrier is currently in the process of intensive communication so that it can immediately enter Indonesia.
The government also emphasized that Indonesia's LPG supply does not depend on the Strait of Hormuz, so it is not directly affected by the geopolitical dynamics in the region. In addition, the government ensures that national energy needs are maintained through diversification of supply sources.
For crude oil, Indonesia has previously still obtained a portion of its supply from the Middle East region, but has now prepared alternatives from a number of other countries.
With this diversification of supply sources, the government is optimistic that national energy security will remain maintained despite global dynamics.
