Jakarta \u2013 PT Pertamina Patra Niaga has formally launched the Ramadan\nand Eid 2026\/1447H Task Force (Satgas RAFI) from 9 March to 1 April\n2026. The task force is responsible for ensuring the availability of\nenergy supply and distribution to the public during the homeward and\nreturn migration periods around Eid al-Fitr.<\/p>\n
Eko Ricky Susanto, Director of Retail Marketing at PT Pertamina Patra\nNiaga, stated that energy service readiness has been prepared by\nPertamina Patra Niaga well in advance. This includes fuel stock\nreadiness, which is the priority of the RAFI task force.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe confirm that stock levels are secure. Consumers, customers, and\nthe Indonesian public need not worry about conducting their homecoming\nrituals back to their home villages through to the return journey,\u201d Eko\nsaid during a press conference on the readiness of the Ramadan and Eid\n2026 task force at Pertamina Rest Area SPBU at KM 57A, Cikampek, West\nJava, on Monday (16 March 2026).<\/p>\n
Eko explained that based on coordination with government ministries\nand agencies, the peak homeward migration is estimated to occur in two\nwaves: 14\u201315 March 2026 and 18\u201319 March 2026. The return migration is\nalso expected to take place in two waves, on 24\u201325 March and 28\u201329 March\n2026, or before Indonesian citizens resume work and other activities on\n30 March 2026.<\/p>\n
Given these conditions, Eko predicted an increase in energy demand,\nparticularly petrol demand rising by approximately 12%. On the other\nhand, gas oil, biodiesel and diesel are expected to decline by\napproximately 14.5%. This reduction aligns with restrictions on goods\ntransport requested by the Ministry of Transport (Kemenhub) and the\nIndonesian National Police (Polri). As a result, this policy also\nreduced biodiesel consumption in the logistics sector.<\/p>\n
\u201cFurthermore, LPG is projected to increase by around 4\u20135%, and\naviation fuel by approximately 2.8%. This is partly due to numerous\nextra flights at major airports. Kerosene consumption is estimated to\nrise by around 4.2%, as it is widely used by our compatriots in eastern\nIndonesia,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
Additionally, Pertamina Patra Niaga and PT Pertamina (Persero) are\npreparing infrastructure and services for fuel, with approximately 7,800\nfuel distribution institutions, particularly fuel stations (SPBU),\navailable and operational, and nearly 6,700 Pertashop units already\nestablished.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are also providing 96 units of modular fuel service and 62\nPertamina Siaga kiosks at 64 locations. At kilometre 57, we have 2\nunits. We are also providing approximately 200 motorcycles, or Pertamina\nDelivery Service units, for both fuel and LPG, particularly for areas\nand toll roads that may experience congestion,\u201d Eko explained.<\/p>\n
Eko continued that Pertamina Patra Niaga has prepared 6,600 LPG\nagents, including both Public Service Obligation (PSO) LPG agents and\nnon-PSO LPG agents. Additionally, 6,300 LPG Siaga SPBU units have been\nprepared along with Pertamina Delivery Service for the distribution of\nBright Gas. Additionally, Pertamina Patra Niaga is also providing\napproximately 223 kerosene agents.<\/p>\n
Moreover, Pertamina Patra Niaga is also preparing four pillars of\ntask force services. These include energy service provision, services\nfor priority areas, preparing areas for remote regions such as 3T\n(outermost, frontier and least developed regions), and preparing\ncontingency plans for disaster-prone areas.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs there are still extreme weather conditions in several regions, we\nhave prepared how fuel and LPG can be distributed normally by\nimplementing RAE (Regular Alternative Emergency),\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n
Eko also stated that the company is preparing promotional services.\nSince the beginning of Ramadan, Pertamina Patra Niaga has been\nimplementing various promotional programmes. From 13 March to 30 March,\nPertamina Patra Niaga is offering a special discount of Rp 300 per litre\nfor Pertamax and Dex products using the My Pertamina application, valid\nthroughout all regions in Indonesia.<\/p>\n
\u201cBesides that, we are also adding additional services, we are\npreparing Serambi My Pertamina. There are 43 Serambi My Pertamina\noutlets on toll roads and two in tourist areas. This is part of our\npreparation to provide comfortable services to consumers, customers, and\nthe Indonesian public during their homeward and return journey during\nEid 2026,\u201d Eko said.<\/p>\n
Beyond that, Serambi My Pertamina is also available at airports,\ntrain stations, and major ports. Pertamina Patra Niaga is taking this\nstep to provide comfort to consumers not only on toll roads but also at\nall consumer and customer activity points during the homeward and return\nmigration periods for Eid 2026.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/maintaining-energy-supply-pertamina-patra-niaga-operates-ramadan-and-eid-2026-task-force-1773730438", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
