PT PLN Energi Gas manages Indonesia's gas supply chain

PT PLN Energi Gas, a subsidiary of PT PLN Energi Primer Indonesia (PLN EPI), plays a strategic role in Indonesia’s energy supply chain by managing the distribution of gas through pipelines and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). The company focuses on connecting upstream gas sources with downstream power plant requirements through logistics infrastructure, including ships, pipelines, tanks, and regasification facilities.

Projections from PLN EPI indicate a growing demand for gas in power generation, with requirements expected to rise by approximately 4.5% annually. Specifically, gas needs are projected to increase from 1,748 BBTUD in 2026 to 2,490 BBTUD by 2034. During this period, LNG cargo requirements are expected to rise from 103 to 214 cargoes, while pipeline gas supply under contract is projected to decrease from 757 to 667 BBTUD. This shift highlights an increasing reliance on complex gas logistics to maintain energy stability and affordability across the Indonesian archipelago.
