JAKARTA - The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources through the Downstream Oil and Gas Regulatory Agency (BPH Migas) together with PT Pertamina (Persero) again inaugurated 34 distributors of One Price Fuel simultaneously in 3 cities, namely South Nias, Sambas, and Hulu Sungai Selatan.

Head of BPH Migas, Erika Retnowati said, through the inauguration in these 3 cities, now 412 dealers are operating throughout Indonesia.

"Through the One Price Fuel Policy, it is hoped that regions outside Java can enjoy fuel that costs the same as in Java so that social justice for all Indonesian people can be realized and provide a multiplier effect on economic growth in the regions", explained Erika Retnowati in a statement to the media, Thursday, December 1.

She added that the distribution of One Price Fuel points is indeed focused on areas outside Java, Madura, and Bali, or areas that need access to energy. Not infrequently, this region also presents big challenges in the distribution process.

To answer this distribution challenge, the Main Director of PT Pertamina Patra Niaga, Alfian Nasution said that Pertamina Patra Niaga continues to coordinate in ensuring the distribution process continues to run well.

According to her, the presence of One Price BBM to serve it sustainably must be balanced with a guarantee of good distribution.

"We thank all Regional Heads for facilitating the presence of the One Price Fuel distribution agency. Going forward, we will continue to coordinate to ensure that fuel distribution can run optimally, on time, in the right amount, and appropriate quality in the framework of synergy to realize access to affordable energy for the community", she said.
