PGN to Advance Strategic Indonesian Projects: Details and Targets
PT Perusahaan Gas Negara (Persero) Tbk (PGN), Indonesia’s state-owned gas company, plans to continue executing strategic natural gas projects. The continuity of strategic infrastructure projects—both pipeline and non-pipeline—plays a fundamental role for PGN amid demands for energy resilience and transition.
In 2026, PGN targets natural gas distribution to various customer segments of approximately 877 BBTUD, representing 4% growth. This growth is driven by optimism regarding demand expansion from several industrial zones and new customers, particularly in East Java and Central Java. PGN will also supplement natural gas distribution services with LNG supplies. This optimism has prompted PGN to strengthen operational capacity as its primary foundation.
“PGN’s focus in 2026 is operational strengthening as a long-term investment to ensure service reliability for customers. PGN also has great hopes for extending natural gas to communities across various sectors and economic centres,” explained PGN Corporate Secretary Fajriyah Usman on Thursday, 12 March.
PGN’s primary strategic projects include accelerating initiatives to strengthen transmission, distribution, and regasification infrastructure. This development direction encompasses expanding service reach through customer attachment targeting commercial and industrial sectors across various business scales. PGN is also completing infrastructure projects such as the Cikampek-Plumpang Pipeline, planned expansion of the Sei Mangkei Distribution Pipeline, and development of LNG storage and regasification facilities.
To expand energy access to households, PGN is accelerating household gas networks (jargas) in Sumatra and Java. This effort is accompanied by midstream infrastructure innovation through non-pipeline modes including CNG cylinders, retail LNG hubs, trucking, and Vertical Gas Liquid (VGL) tanks.
Complementing these innovations, PGN is strengthening LNG infrastructure through optimisation of the Arun Hub & Storage facility, which is now equipped with superior security facilities, and expansion of LNG facility development to Eastern Indonesia for the electricity sector.
PGN continues its low-emission initiatives, with the company committed to sustainability through developing renewable and natural gas products for Green Energy Business, such as biomethane and gas derivatives.
“In implementing strategic project development in 2026, PGN continues to work optimally whilst upholding the principle of prudence and delivering direct impact for both communities and businesses,” concluded Fajriyah.
