Indonesia Secures Fuel and Coal Supplies Amid Rising Energy Demand

Pertamina Patra Niaga said its fuel terminals across Indonesia have sufficient stock and are being monitored in real time. The company is operating terminals 24 hours a day in high‑demand areas, adding tanker trucks, advancing delivery schedules and coordinating traffic at stations to keep gasoline and diesel flowing and to prevent long queues. It also urged consumers to avoid panic buying and to use fuel according to need. In East Java, Pertamina accelerated the delivery of subsidised fuel to Madura Island, coordinating with local authorities and prioritising shipments from nearby terminals to clear queues at SPBU stations.

The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) reported that about 141 million metric tonnes of coal – roughly 92 % of PLN’s annual requirement of 154 million tonnes – have been secured for the state electricity utility. Export of coal was briefly halted to guarantee domestic supply and has now resumed. The ministry said a joint oversight team comprising BPKP, the ESDM inspectorate, the Directorate General of Minerals and Coal and PLN will tighten monitoring of the Domestic Market Obligation to ensure reliable power generation.

The government also highlighted progress on three waste‑to‑energy (PSEL) projects in Bogor, Bekasi and Denpasar, designating them as strategic national programmes and removing local‑government tipping fees to streamline implementation.
