“Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya attended the inter-ministerial coordination meeting chaired by Coordinating Minister for the Economy Airlangga Hartarto virtually via Zoom, regarding plans for energy readjustment policies and several economic policies,” stated the Instagram @sekretariat.kabinet, quoted on Wednesday (25/3/2026).
The meeting discussed various strategic views presented as considerations for policy formulation.
Unfortunately, the Cabinet Secretariat did not detail the meeting’s outcomes. The meeting was conducted online and attended by Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa, Home Affairs Minister Tito Karnavian, Investment Minister/Head of BKPM Rosan P. Roeslani, Minister of Basic and Secondary Education Abdul Mu’ti, Minister of Higher Education, Science, and Technology Brian Yulianto, and State Secretary Minister Prasetyo Hadi.
Regarding energy savings, Coordinating Minister Airlangga previously emphasised that the government has prepared anticipatory measures against the impact of rising fuel oil (BBM) prices and other commodities. One effort to be undertaken is increasing coal production volume through adjustments to the Work Plan and Budget (RKAB).
Additionally, the government is reviewing policy adjustments related to coal export taxes to boost state revenues, in line with the upward trend in commodity prices.
In the energy sector, the government is pushing for the acceleration of converting diesel power plants (PLTD) to solar power plants (PLTS) as an efficiency measure amid high oil prices. This assignment has been given to the Danantara Investment Management Agency for immediate follow-up.
Airlangga also stated that the government is reviewing work flexibility policies through a one-day Work From Home (WFH) scheme in every five working days.
“There are savings in terms of mobility usage; the petrol savings are quite significant, one-fifth of what we usually spend,” Airlangga explained during a press conference last Thursday (19/3/2026).
The government is currently refining the technical aspects of implementing this policy. The WFH implementation is expected not only to apply to Civil Servants (ASN) but also to be adopted by the private sector and regional governments.
The planned implementation of this policy is scheduled to begin after the 2026 Eid al-Fitr holiday. However, the exact timing will be determined further.
“We’ll see the situation later. The oil price situation, the war situation. We’ll follow the developing circumstances,” Airlangga concluded.
