Jakarta –
Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Arifin Tasrif made a surprise inspection of a number of Pertamina gas stations in Medan, North Sumatra. Arifin was accompanied by President Director of PT Pertamina (Persero) Nicke Widyawati and Deputy Governor of North Sumatra Musa Rajekshah, Secretary General of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Ego Syahrial, Director General of Oil and Gas Tutuka Ariadji, and Head of BPH Migas Erika Retnowati Saturday (9/4/2022)
What was the result? There are still vehicles that are not supposed to consume subsidized diesel. However, in general, fuel was monitored safely and there was no long line of vehicles at the gas station. Sufficient stock and if there is a shortage, immediately take steps to fill it back.
“Since I landed until now the supply is safe, there are no queues and everything is running smoothly,” said Arifin, quoted from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources website, Saturday (9/4/2022).
During today’s inspection, Arifin got a private car of the type of Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV), Multi Purpose Vehicle (MPV), and industrial trucks/carriers of agricultural products that fill Biosolar fuel. Each gas station is expected to carry out non-subsidized fuel promotion activities properly, so that people use non-subsidized fuel.
“The government allocates subsidized diesel for people who need assistance, not for industries that do commercial business. We urge industries that are still using subsidized diesel, replace using non-subsidized fuel. So as not to reduce the share of people who are entitled to the subsidized fuel allocation. ,” said Arifin.
At SPBU 11209108 Rest Area KM 65A, Serdang Bedagai Regency, for example, Arifin reminded families who were using a rental car not to use subsidized diesel. Likewise, when talking with Daf, the truck driver who brought mineral water from Binjai to the city of Padang, Arifin gave an understanding that subsidized fuel is only for people who have the right.
“Tell the boss, you shouldn’t use Biosolar, but use Pertadex,” said Arifin.
