Pertamina Patra Niaga Steps Up LPG Distribution in Central Java & Yogyakarta
In a strategic move to meet the rising demand for 3 Kg LPG or subsidized LPG, Pertamina Patra Niaga has announced the allocation of over 900,000 LPG Melon cylinders in the Central Java and Yogyakarta regions from Tuesday, February 4, 2025, to Thursday, February 6, 2025. This initiative, a result of coordination with local authorities, aims to bolster the supply of essential cooking gas to households in these areas.
The Additional Boost
The total allocation of 919,880 3 Kg LPG cylinders for February represents approximately 60% of the daily distribution volume. Pertamina has efficiently channeled these additional cylinders through its official LPG depots, tailoring the supply to meet the specific needs of each locality. Consequently, the stock resilience of 3 Kg LPG in Central Java and Yogyakarta remains secure, ensuring that residents have access to this vital resource.
Taufiq Kurniawan, Area Manager of Communication, Relations, & Corporate Social Responsibility for Central Java at PT Pertamina Patra Niaga, emphasized the critical role of existing facilities in supporting stock stability in the region. With four LPG terminals, including LPG Terminal Cilacap, LPG Terminal Tanjung Mas in Semarang, Terminal LPG Semarang, and Terminal LPG Rembang, the total stock capacity reaches an impressive 3,464 metric tons. This infrastructure backbone plays a pivotal role in ensuring a reliable and steady supply chain for LPG.
Encouraging Responsible Consumer Choices
Taufiq also underscores the importance of consumers making informed decisions when purchasing 3 Kg LPG cylinders. He advises the public to buy from official Pertamina depots to guarantee quality and adherence to government price regulations, with the lowest price set at Rp 18,000. Moreover, the convenience of accessing nearby depots has been enhanced through the subsiditepatlpg.mypertamina.id online platform, simplifying the process for consumers.
In addition to subsidized LPG, Pertamina offers Bright Gas as an alternative for those who can afford non-subsidized options. Taufiq highlights the availability of two Bright Gas variants, namely Bright Gas 5.5 Kg and Bright Gas 12 Kg, catering to diverse consumer needs and preferences.
As the demand for LPG continues to rise, Pertamina’s proactive measures in augmenting supply and promoting responsible consumption practices reflect a commitment to serving communities with essential energy resources. By fostering partnerships with local authorities and leveraging robust infrastructure, Pertamina Patra Niaga reaffirms its dedication to ensuring energy security and access for all households in Central Java and Yogyakarta.
In conclusion, Pertamina’s efforts are not just about distributing LPG but also about fostering a culture of sustainability and resource management. Through collaborative initiatives and proactive strategies, the company plays a vital role in supporting households and communities in their daily energy needs.
