        "content": "<p>\u201cToday, I came here to ensure the readiness of the household gas\npipeline network, funded by the State Budget (APBN) in Gresik District,\u201d\nhe said while inspecting the network in Gresik on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>The network, allocated for 7,363 household connections in Gresik, is\npart of the 2025-2026 household gas pipeline network development\nprogram.<\/p>\n<p>Dudung said several licensing issues that had previously delayed the\nnetwork\u2019s operation had now been resolved.<\/p>\n<p>Environmental approvals (UKL-UPL), technical recommendations for\ndistrict road sections, and for river crossings have all been\nissued.<\/p>\n<p>With physical construction reaching 95.4 percent and licensing issues\nresolved, the government is now accelerating preparations for the\nnetwork\u2019s operational stage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe licensing issues that had been holding back operations have now\nbeen resolved,\u201d Dudung said.<\/p>\n<p>Head of Gresik District Fandi Akhmad Yani said the network will\nmainly benefit micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) that require\ngas regularly for their operations.<\/p>\n<p>He cited business operators in several villages who use LPG daily for\nproduction activities, including bean sprout and poultry processing\nbusinesses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRather than using 3-kilogram LPG cylinders, this is more effective,\nmore efficient, and cheaper. They can use the gas pipeline network\ndirectly,\u201d Yani said.<\/p>\n<p>He expressed hope that the quota for gas pipeline usage can be\nincreased so that other areas with high MSME activity, including\nSidowungu village in Menganti Subdistrict, could also get access to the\ngas network.<\/p>\n<p>Yani also proposed that areas serving as MSME hubs with high energy\ndemand be designated as pilot locations for converting from 3-kilogram\nLPG cylinders to the household gas network.<\/p>\n<p>Related news: Govt targets 1 million household gas connections by\n2028<\/p>\n<p>Translator: Astrid, Kenzu<\/p>",
