Deputy Minister of ESDM, Yuliot, stated that this inspection is part of the government’s efforts to ensure that energy services for the community remain maintained during Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr. “With the readiness from Pertamina Patra Niaga, we are confident that up to the peak of mudik and the return flow, the availability of fuel will be safe, God willing. This is part of how we provide the best service to the community, especially in terms of energy provision,” Yuliot said, quoted on Wednesday (18/3/2026). Yuliot also expressed appreciation to Pertamina Patra Niaga and related parties who have prepared various measures to ensure that energy services for the community remain maintained during the Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr period. “May the community undertaking Eid mudik travel smoothly, without any obstacles in fuel and LPG availability, with sufficient energy supply, and be able to gather with family in their hometowns,” Yuliot added. Meanwhile, Deputy Director of Pertamina Patra Niaga Taufik Aditiyawarman stated that Pertamina Patra Niaga continues to ensure energy distribution readiness through the Ramadan and Eid Task Force (Satgas RAFI) so that community needs remain fulfilled during the mudik period. “We at Pertamina Patra Niaga are tasked with ensuring the availability of fuel and LPG in accordance with the national minimum stock guidelines set by both BPH Migas and the Ministry of ESDM.
