President Prabowo Subianto has frozen Indonesian subsidized fuel and LPG prices to protect public purchasing power amid global economic strains. Meanwhile, non-subsidized fuel prices will fluctuate with the market. To boost long-term energy security, the government is also accelerating a strategic transition from LPG to Compressed Natural Gas (CNG).
To reduce long-term fiscal burdens and lower reliance on expensive energy imports, the administration is aggressively accelerating a national energy transition. A core pillar of this initiative is a structural pivot away from LPG toward Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) for domestic and industrial consumption, which leverages Indonesia's internal natural gas reserves to bolster self-sufficiency.
Additionally, Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Bahlil Lahadalia addressed concerns regarding the power sector. He officially dismissed rumors of coal supply deficits, confirming that the domestic market obligation has successfully reached 170 million tons. He emphasized that recent localized power outages were caused by technical transmission line failures rather than fuel shortages, reassuring markets of steady national industrial productivity.
