KPPU Selidiki Dugaan Pelanggaran


Komisi Pengawas Persaingan Usaha menyelidiki dugaan pelanggaran persaingan usaha yang tidak sehat terkait penjualan gas oleh PT Perusahaan Gas Negara Tbk. Harga jual gas yang dinilai terlalu tinggi oleh kalangan pelaku usaha diduga terkait dengan praktik monopoli sehingga pelaku usaha tidak memiliki alternatif untuk membeli gas.

Hal itu disampaikan Ketua Komisi Pengawas Persaingan Usaha (KPPU) Syarkawi Rauf di Jakarta, Selasa (4/4). ”Penyelidikan KPPU didasarkan pada laporan pelaku usaha terkait penetapan harga gas yang dinilai terlalu tinggi,” kata Syarkawi.

Atas laporan pelaku usaha terkait harga jual gas di Sumatera Utara itu, KPPU melakukan penyelidikan untuk menemukan dua alat bukti. ”Ada dugaan praktik monopoli dengan menetapkan harga jual yang terlalu tinggi,” katanya.

Syarkawi menambahkan, dari laporan pelaku usaha itu, harga jual gas mencapai 14,8 dollar AS per juta metrik british thermal unit (MMBTU). Laporan itu didasarkan pada peristiwa tahun 2015 dan dilaporkan ke KPPU pada 2016 lalu.

KPPU akan menggelar serangkaian persidangan dengan pihak terlapor, yaitu PT Perusahaan Gas Negara (PGN). Dalam proses persidangan, PT PGN akan menyampaikan tanggapan terkait laporan dugaan pelanggaran dari pelaku usaha ke KPPU tersebut. 

Jika terlapor menolak dugaan pelanggaran itu, pihak terlapor harus menyampaikan bukti-bukti, saksi ahli, dan bukti petunjuk untuk memperkuat bantahan. 

Terkait kasus dugaan pelanggaran itu, Sekretaris Perusahaan PT PGN Heri Yusup mengungkapkan, pihaknya menyerahkan proses tersebut kepada KPPU ”Kami ikuti aturan yang berlaku dan tunduk pada aturan,” katanya. Ia juga belum mengetahui jadwal sidang yang akan digelar KPPU ”Saya belum tahu teknisnya,” ujarnya.

Menurut Heri, persoalan harga gas yang dinilai tinggi tidak hanya terkait dengan PT PGN karena banyak pemangku kepentingan yang terlibat dalam mata rantai distribusi gas. Aturan yang mengatur masalah bisnis gas juga banyak.
