The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) continues to realize its commitment in structuring the energy and mineral sectors throughout Indonesia through the policy of Justice Energy. Licensing cuts and energy infrastructure equity programs are the focus of providing access to energy for easier reach and more competitive prices.
Ignasius Jonan
This is an important point that was delivered by Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Ignasius Jonan in the discussion of Indonesia Roundtable Series with the chairman of Bloomberg in London. In the oil and gas sector, the ESDM Ministry has simplified licensing from 104 to 6 licenses. Meanwhile, the minerals and coal sector now only have 6 licenses from 117 previously licensing, 5 licenses for the electricity sector and New and Renewable Energy (EBT) leaving 10 licenses.
"In the ministry I lead, licensing in the oil and gas fields is now only six permits from the previous 104 permits. We will continue to cut and simplify the permissions, "said Jonan.
In line with this, the development of electricity infrastructure has also improved over the past two years, as evidenced by the 70 contracts signed by the EBT Power Purchase Agreement (WPA) with a capacity of more than 1.2 Giga Watt (GW). This progress has impacted on the target of electrification ratio at the end of 2017 reaching 95.4%, up from 91.2% in 2016.
In addition, several other strategic policies implemented by the Government to reform the ESDM sector in Indonesia, such as the use of gross split schemes for upstream oil and gas up to the implementation of fuel oil (BBM) One Price that provides the same fuel prices throughout the territory of Indonesia.
In relation to the policy, Jonan again conducted a deepening discussion with several Ambassadors of the Republic of Indonesia in Europe, such as the Ambassador of the Republic of Indonesia to the United Kingdom Rizal Sukma, Ambassador of the Republic of Indonesia to the Netherlands I Gusti Wesaka Puja, Ambassador of the Republic of Indonesia to Belgium Yuri O. Thamrin, Ambassador of the Republic of Indonesia to the UN in Geneva Hasan Kleib, Deputy V Office Staff Office Jaleswari Pramodhawardani, as well as other embassy officials.
Former Minister of Transportation expressed the purpose of the policy so that the price of fuel in all regions of Indonesia is the same as in Java, especially in Papua and West Papua Province. Jonan said, there will be 33 districts that will be built fuel dealers until 2019.
"In 2017, the total has 57 points of BBM Satu Price, so the price is equal to Java Island, of which 16 points are in Papua and West Papua," he said in the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) with the embassy official.
In addition to the BBM Satu Price policy, in the oil and gas development sector in Papua also through the builder of infrastructure Network-Gas City along the 3.898 Household Connection (SR) in Sorong City. The 2018 plan will build Network Gas City in 2 locations with 11,500 SR.
In the electricity subsector, the ESDM Ministry's commitment is very large in Eastern Indonesia. The electricity development program in Papua and West Papua is targeted at 514 Mega Watt (WM) is completed until 2019. In addition, the rural electricity program will continue to reach 186 thousand customers until 2019.
Another policy innovation to improve access to electricity in East Indonesia is based on the New Renewable Energy sector (EBT) by distributing the Solar Energy Saving (LTSHE) package to about 250,000 homes in 20 provinces. LTHSE lights have illuminated 79,564 homes in 5 provinces and the government is targeting to provide LTHSE by 2018 doubled from 2017 as many as 175,782 units.
At the end of the discussion, Jonan reiterated that the priority policy for Papua and West Papua is a form of social justice for all Indonesians.
"In line with the mandate of President Joko Widodo, BBM One Price is a form of social justice and can be a unifier for the people of Indonesia," he said.
