The Ministry is working with the military to deploy 69 Bailey and Armco bridges to complete the infrastructure restoration. The target is to have all national roads and bridges operational by end-December 2025 ¹

Energy Sector Recovery

Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources, Bahlil Lahadalia, reported that while Banda Aceh's electricity has been fully restored to 120 MW capacity, four districts in Aceh remain with less than 50% electricity availability due to incomplete low-voltage infrastructure ²

Fuel and LPG Supply

The energy ministry has ensured that fuel and LPG supplies are gradually normalizing, except in areas where access remains restricted. Pertamina is using helicopters and Hercules aircraft to deliver LPG to hard-to-reach areas like Aceh Tengah and Bener Meriah ²

Water Supply Restoration

The Ministry of Public Works is also focusing on restoring water supply systems in affected areas. Direct appointment processes are being used to expedite the recovery of water supply infrastructure, with a target to restore systems within three months in areas like Aceh Tamiang ¹
