Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - Indonesia\u2019s energy resilience appears to\nremain vulnerable. As of now the country does not have an energy buffer\nreserve or Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) that is adequate.<\/p>\n
Executive Director of the ReforMiner Institute Komaidi Notonegoro\ndisclosed that the current stock of fuel essentially amounts to\noperational stock owned by the business entities, not a national\nstrategic reserve.<\/p>\n
\u2018These days we have around 20-25 days; but that stock is not owned by\nthe state but is the operational stock of the enterprises whose\ninventories have not yet been sold,\u2019 Komaidi told CNBC Indonesia, quoted\non Friday (6\/3\/2026).<\/p>\n
Komaidi explained that in normal business practice, businesses\ntypically maintain stock turnover so that stock moves quickly. Goods\nthat come in are generally dispatched promptly so as not to hold funds\nin inventory for too long.<\/p>\n
However, in the context of safeguarding the national fuel supply,\ncompanies such as Pertamina must supplement their operational stocks.\nThis means large sums of corporate funds are tied up in the form of fuel\ninventories.<\/p>\n
He also detailed that the cost of storing energy reserves is quite\nlarge. For example, to provide one day of fuel stock requires an\nallocation of around Rp2.5 trillion to Rp3 trillion.<\/p>\n
\u2018Thus for 30 days, the figure would automatically be visible, between\nRp60 trillion and Rp90 trillion,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n
