JAKARTA, April 29 (Reuters) - Indonesia will stop both liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and fuel imports by 2030 and plans big changes to its energy infrastructure to meet that target, a top energy official said on Thursday.
President Joko Widodo has tasked the National Energy Council, a board made up of seven ministries and other stakeholders that plans energy policy, to devise a strategy to allow for a halt on LPG and fuel imports, said the council’s secretary general, Djoko Siswanto.
Once a former OPEC member, maturing fields and investment lags has turned Indonesia to a net importer of oil and gas. The president has for years announced steps to cut imports, in a bid to contain the country’s current account deficit.
Consider lifting ban on construction of new LPG stations – LPG Marketers
May 19, 2021 Mr Kumi
The Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Marketing Companies Association says it may lose GH¢60million worth of investment made into the construction of some 100 LPG retail outlets which remain incomplete.
The government, after the Atomic Gas explosion in 2017, placed a ban on new LPG retail points to allow for proper assessment of all LPG outlets nationwide.
Although the LPG marketers have petitioned the government and the National Petroleum Authority over the years to lift the ban, nothing has been done about it.
The Vice-Chairman of the LPG Marketing Companies Association, Mr Gabriel Kumi in a Citi News interview said his group was hopeful of a positive response soon from the sector Minister.
