PT Pertamina (Persero) has confirmed it is ready to implement Indonesia’s newly established framework for national natural gas pricing.
The state-owned energy company stated its preparedness to execute the policy directives set by the government through the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM).
This move formalizes the operational side of Jakarta’s broader strategy to secure affordable energy for domestic industry, a policy shift that has been under discussion for months.
The implementation of this governance model is expected to tighten the pricing mechanisms for natural gas supplied to local manufacturers and power generators.
By aligning with the government’s mandate, Pertamina reinforces the state’s priority of industrial competitiveness over maximizing immediate export revenues from its gas reserves.
This policy environment creates a structured cap on domestic gas prices, which may diverge from international market benchmarks during periods of high global demand.
