        "summary": "Ridwan Hanafi, Executive Director of the Energy Sovereignty Coordinator, has called on the government to intensify the subsidised electric stove programme to bolster national energy resilience and ease fiscal pressures from energy subsidies. He highlighted the programme's relevance amid global energy market volatility, particularly due to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, and noted Indonesia's heavy reliance on LPG imports, projected to exceed 70% of domestic needs by 2025. With adequate infrastructure and public awareness, electric stoves could offer a more efficient and sustainable household energy solution, benefiting both society and state finances.",
        "content": "<p>Executive Director of the Energy Sovereignty Coordinator, Ridwan\nHanafi, has urged the government to re-intensify the subsidised electric\nstove programme as an effort to strengthen national energy resilience.\nAccording to him, the programme remains highly relevant to the current\nsituation, particularly in relation to the state\u2019s management of energy\nsubsidies. \u201cThe electric stove programme needs to be strengthened again\nbecause it has a significant impact on the government\u2019s fiscal capacity\nin managing energy subsidies,\u201d he stated in a written release on\nSaturday (28\/3). Ridwan assessed that the development of electric stoves\nis a strategic step amid increasing global pressures in the energy\nsector, especially due to geopolitical dynamics in the Middle East\nregion that could trigger a rise in global energy prices. He explained\nthat energy diversification through the utilisation of electricity in\nthe household sector can help strengthen national energy resilience,\nwhile reducing dependence on imports, particularly LPG. \u201cThe realisation\nof LPG subsidies continues to show an increasing trend every year. Even\nin 2025, Indonesia will still rely on imports for more than 70 percent\nof domestic needs,\u201d he revealed. With adequate infrastructure support\nand good public understanding, electric stoves are considered to have\nthe potential to become a more efficient and sustainable household\nenergy solution. \u201cStrengthening implementation and comprehensive\nsocialisation will make this programme more on target and provide\noptimal benefits, both for the community and for state finances,\u201d he\nconcluded.<\/p>",
