Jakarta –
The Downstream Oil and Gas Regulatory Agency (BPH Migas) revealed that the actual distribution of subsidized fuel oil (BBM) was lower than the stipulated quota. What caused it?
In the agenda for the Press Conference for the Closing of the National Energy and Mineral Resources Sector Post for the 2023/2024 Christmas Period, the Head of BPH Migas, Erika Retnowati, explained that the realization of the Special Assignment Fuel Type (JBKP), namely Pertalite (RON 90) throughout 2023, was lower than the stipulated quota. As of December 31, realization reached 92.24% or 30 million kilo liters (kl) of the quota of 32.56 million kl set for 2023.
“For JBKP Pertalite it is 30 million kl and that is 92.24% of the quota, that is the realization for 2023,” he said at the BPH Migas Office, Jakarta, Monday (08/01/2024).
Erika then explained that the lower realization of Pertalite fuel distribution was a sign that the supervision carried out this year was better than the previous year.
Apart from that, he suspects that another cause is that people now use public transportation more than private vehicles.
“It has indeed experienced growth from 2022 but the growth is not as big as the previous year. Why hasn’t it achieved the target? Because monitoring is better and maybe people are also using public transportation which makes growth unlike before,” he added.
Meanwhile, the realization of distribution of certain types of fuel (JBT), namely subsidized diesel, reached 103%, exceeding the set quota. He said the number was 17.5 million kl out of the 16.8 million quota set for 2023.
