TRIBUNNEWS.COM – The government has signaled plans to increase electricity rates, the price of Pertalite and Solar, as well as the price of 3 kg LPG.
The signal is the increase in electricity tariffs, the price of Pertalite and Solar, as well as the price of 3 kg LPG as the impact of rising energy commodity prices on the global market.
This was stated by the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Arifin Tasrif in a working meeting with Commission VII DPR RI, Wednesday (13/4/2022) last week.
“So there are several strategic steps in dealing with rising world oil prices, both in the short, medium and long term,” said Arifin, quoted from Kompas.com.

The price increase is the government’s effort to save the state budget.
If there is no price adjustment, this condition will burden the state’s finances.
It is not known exactly when the government will raise electricity rates, the price of Pertalite and Solar, and the price of 3 kg LPG. Even if this is just a plan.
But if this plan is carried out, it is certain that many will scream.
Especially if the increase in these four commodities is carried out simultaneously and in the near future.
Because, at this time, the community is also facing an increase in the price of a number of goods, for example cooking oil.
