        "summary": "Central Java Governor Ahmad Luthfi is planning to issue a regulation requiring civil servants (ASN), as well as regents and mayors across the province, to cycle to work as part of an energy-saving initiative. The policy, which is under review and awaits central government guidance, also considers alternatives such as using public transport, running to the office, or implementing work-from-home arrangements on specific days. This move aims to reduce energy consumption in government operations, though technical details and implementation timelines remain under calculation.",
        "content": "<p>Central Java Governor Ahmad Luthfi plans to issue a regulation\nrequiring civil servants (ASN) in Central Java to cycle to the office.\nHowever, it will not apply only to ASN; the policy, issued as part of\nefforts to save energy consumption, will also cover mayors and regents\nthroughout Central Java. Luthfi said he is studying the policy so that\nASN, including regents and mayors in Central Java, cycle to the office.\n\u201cWe have already calculated it; if necessary, tomorrow on certain days\nall ASN will cycle with all regents and mayors. So, to the office by\nbicycle,\u201d he said on Monday (30\/3\/2026). However, Luthfi admitted he\ndoes not yet have a picture of the technical implementation of the\npolicy, including the scheduling for its application. \u201cWell, we\u2019ll\ncalculate it later,\u201d he said when asked whether the ASN cycling\nregulation would be applied every day. Besides cycling, Luthfi said\nanother option for saving energy consumption is to use public transport.\n\u201cSo this will be socialised, studied, and once the government announces\nit, Central Java Province is ready,\u201d said Luthfi. Luthfi admitted he\ndoes not yet have a target for energy savings in the scope of the\nCentral Java Provincial Government. \u201cWe\u2019re still calculating it\ntogether. Besides bicycles, if necessary, run there and back,\u201d he said.\n\u201cThe WFH is also still being studied. Which days are still being\nstudied,\u201d Luthfi added. Currently, the Central Java Provincial\nGovernment is still waiting for a circular letter (SE) from the central\ngovernment regarding the technical implementation of energy savings. He\nsaid the SE is planned to be issued on Tuesday (31\/3\/2026).<\/p>",
