        "content": "<p>Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - The Minister of Energy and Mineral\nResources (ESDM), Bahlil Lahadalia, has ensured the availability of\nnatural gas supplies for domestic needs, stating they are sufficient to\nmeet the demands of the industrial sector. This statement comes amid\nconcerns from business players regarding potential gas shortages that\ncould disrupt the operational continuity of national manufacturing.<\/p>\n<p>Bahlil emphasised that all domestic requirements, particularly for\nLiquefed Natural Gas (LNG), are currently available in the market. He\nnoted that the government continues to monitor energy distribution to\nensure that strategic sectors, such as the industrial and fertiliser\nindustries, do not face obstacles in accessing primary energy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo be clear, I can ensure that all domestic needs for LNG are\navailable. While there has been a price increase, this is not unique to\nIndonesia; it is happening globally,\u201d he said when met at the DPR RI\nBuilding, Jakarta, on Monday (8\/6\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Bahlil explained that the current rise in industrial gas prices is\ninseparable from global energy market dynamics. According to him,\ndomestic price movements continue to follow global price correction\ntrends experienced by various gas-producing and consuming nations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, in terms of supply, everything is available. Prices are\nundergoing corrections in line with world prices. It is not as if prices\nare rising only in Indonesia while the rest of the world remains stable.\nHowever, regarding the HGBT (Gas for Industrial Use) price, it remains\nin accordance with government decisions,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources is working to\nincrease efficiency within the upstream gas price structure to safeguard\nthe competitiveness of national industries. The government is engaged in\nintensive coordination with Production Sharing Contract (PSC)\ncontractors to find a middle ground between contract price formulations\nand current economic conditions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUp to now, we are seeking greater efficiency. We are communicating\nwith PSC contractors because there is a specific formula involved. While\nsome are owned by State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN), our PSC contractors\nalso include national and foreign private entities, so we must respect\nexisting contracts while seeking more efficient solutions,\u201d he\nexplained.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond pricing, the government guarantees that priority for supply\nfulfilment will remain directed towards domestic needs before being\nallocated to the export market. This approach is considered crucial for\nstrengthening national energy security and maintaining industrial\noperational stability amidst global geopolitical volatility.<\/p>",
