Jakarta - Energy and Mineral Resources Minister (ESDM) Bahlil Lahadalia has again ensured that the supply of national fuel, LPG, and crude oil is safe. The energy stock, according to Bahlil, is above the national minimum standard.

This was conveyed by Bahlil at the Presidential Palace Complex, Jakarta, May 12. In addition to energy stocks, Bahlil also reported on the arrangement of mining permits. The focus is on mining business permits or IUP in forest areas and mining permits that have not been carried out.

According to Bahlil, there are companies that have held IUP and all their permits are complete, but their mining activities are not running. This condition is a concern for the government because mining permits should not only stop as a document. President Prabowo, according to Bahlil, has ordered an evaluation of the mining permit about one to two months ago.

Bahlil said he had reported the development of the permit arrangement to President Prabowo. This step is important because mining permits concern the management of natural resources, forest areas, and investment certainty. The government is now starting to highlight permit holders who do not carry out their obligations in the field.

The evaluation of the stalled IUP is also a signal that the government wants to regulate unproductive mining permits. In that way, mining permits are not only an asset on paper, but actually provide economic benefits and remain within the rules corridor.
