PGN Wins Silver at Asia Pacific Stevie Awards 2026 for Energy Education Innovation
REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA – PT Perusahaan Gas Negara (Persero) Tbk (PGN) has once again achieved international recognition by winning the Silver Stevie Award at the Asia Pacific Stevie Awards 2026 in the Award for Innovation in Consumer Events category, received on Friday (17 April 2026) at The Venetian Macao, China. This award was given for the innovative energy education programme Taman Jargas Nusantara 2025, which was recognised for successfully introducing a new approach to enhancing customer engagement. The Asia Pacific Stevie Awards is a prestigious business competition participated in by various companies from the Asia-Pacific region, recognising innovations in management, communication, and customer experience. Taman Jargas Nusantara 2025 was held over four days (29 May–1 June 2025) at Bintaro Jaya Xchange Mall. The programme serves as PGN’s strategy to expand the utilisation of household gas networks (jargas) while increasing public understanding of the benefits of clean energy through an educational and interactive approach. PGN Corporate Secretary Fajriyah Usman stated that this award validates the company’s transformation in its communication approach to the public. “The Asia Pacific Stevie Awards 2026 serves as international appreciation for our innovation in packaging energy education into a fun, educational, and interactive family experience in a public open space. PGN continues to strive to deliver a closer and more impactful approach to increasing clean energy literacy,” she said. Unlike conventional one-way socialisation, Taman Jargas Nusantara offers direct experiences of natural gas usage in daily life. In the kids’ corner, children are introduced to clean energy concepts through a giant pipe playground, a jargas house replica, and various educational games. Meanwhile, adult visitors can watch cooking demonstrations in a professional gas-based kitchen complete with pipe installations and the Gaslink beyond-pipeline system. The programme successfully attracted more than 16,000 visitors, or about 20% of the average daily footfall at the shopping centre during the same period. On the digital communication front, the Taman Jargas Nusantara campaign recorded over 5.4 million views, 53,000 digital interactions, and support from more than 200 media reports. The presence of PGN’s active customers from the F&B sector as tenants further strengthens the credibility of jargas services and provides real evidence of natural gas utilisation in business operations. In addition to serving as public education, the event also focuses on strengthening relationships with housing developers and opening opportunities for the public to register as jargas customers directly at the venue. According to Fajriyah, this innovation aligns with PGN’s commitment to supporting the national energy transition through increased adoption of cleaner and more efficient energy in the household sector. “The Silver Winner achievement at the Asia Pacific Stevie Awards 2026 motivates us to continue innovating in delivering impactful programmes, expanding natural gas utilisation, and bringing clean energy closer to the community,” she concluded.
