Jakarta – Unexpected disruptions from several gas suppliers forced PT Perusahaan Gas Negara Tbk (PGN) to cut gas supplies to some customers in West Java in August 2025. Unplanned operational maintenance in the upstream oil and gas sector, coupled with unrealised additional supplies, was the primary trigger for the decline in distribution volume.
PGN Corporate Secretary Fajriyah Usman explained that her company has not yet secured additional domestic LNG cargo as an alternative source for this period.
“We have informed affected customers to regulate their gas usage. For customers with dual fuel systems, we recommend that they immediately prepare alternative fuels as a temporary replacement,” he said in an official statement on Thursday, August 14.
PGN, said Fajriyah, is currently coordinating with stakeholders to accelerate the acquisition of new supply allocations, including LNG, so that gas flows can return to normal immediately.
“We apologise for this inconvenience and understand its impact on customer operations. We will continue to provide updates through the company’s official channels,” she added.
The company said mitigation measures were being implemented intensively to minimise service disruptions, while ensuring that energy supplies would return to normal as quickly as possible. (Hartatik)
