Then, the event continued with the presentation of the goals of cooperation by Muhammad Arief Rokhman Hakim, S.T., M.Sc. as Sub-Coordinator for Household Gas Prices and Small Customers, namely that the pricing policies that have been implemented can be evaluated for their suitability with the purchasing power of the people in real terms.
“The collaboration between BPH Migas and FIA UI has become our basis for conducting studies related to Downstream Oil and Gas. On this occasion, the planned study is related to willingness to pay for Jargas in the 2022 State Budget, “explained Muhammad Arief.
Furthermore, Arief explained that this study will be used as a basis for determining prices in areas in Indonesia that do not yet have an existing price, namely Siak Regency, Pelalawan Regency, West Tanjung Jabung Regency, East Ogan Komering Ulu Regency, Indramayu Regency, Lumajang Regency.
“In the 2022 budget year, it is planned to build Independent Jargas in 17 operating areas in 46 Regencies/Cities in Indonesia with a commitment to pricing according to the market (community) capacity in each region, this has an impact on Jargas prices being cheaper than LPG Gas prices on the market. , “explained Arief.
