BPH Migas to Develop 225 Fuel Stations for 'Satu Harga' Program by 2029

Expansion in Remote Areas

The Downstream Oil and Gas Regulatory Agency (BPH Migas) has announced plans to develop 225 new fuel stations as part of the government's 'Satu Harga' (One Price) fuel program between 2025 and 2029. According to BPH Migas head Wahyudi Anas, these new stations will be strategically located in remote, frontier, and outermost (3T) regions of Indonesia, areas that have historically faced challenges in accessing fuel at standardized prices.

Supervision and Implementation

Wahyudi emphasized that BPH Migas will implement a multi-level supervision system to ensure the proper development and operation of these fuel stations. "Supervisi Pelaksanaan Pembangunan 225 Penyalur BBM Satu Harga beserta pengawasannya. Ini program berjenjang," Wahyudi stated during a hearing with Commission XII of the DPR RI on November 24, 2025. This hierarchical supervision is designed to guarantee that the program is executed effectively and meets its intended objectives.

Significance of the 'Satu Harga' Program

The 'Satu Harga' program is a government initiative aimed at ensuring that fuel prices are standardized across Indonesia, particularly in regions that have traditionally suffered from high fuel prices due to their remote locations. By developing additional fuel stations in these areas, the government hopes to improve energy access and reduce price disparities.

Impact on Energy Accessibility

The development of 225 new fuel stations in 3T regions is expected to significantly enhance energy accessibility for local communities. This expansion will not only provide more convenient access to fuel but also contribute to the overall economic development of these regions by reducing transportation costs and improving the availability of essential goods and services.
