Chairman of the State Gas Company Regulation Anthony Aris Sujatmiko said many " traders " gas inhibits the development of gas infrastructure that caused the energy crisis in North Sumatra and potential crises in Central Java .
" The energy crisis is compounded by the cartel in collaboration with Sharing Contract ( PSC ) national oil , they sell gas with a non-transparent allocation to " broker " a gas that does not have the facilities , " he said in Jakarta on Friday .
Unlike the foreign PSC allocation selling gas directly to distributors or directly to users of gas , without going through a broker or brokers .
" In applying the cost of transmission pipeline , PGN BPH Migas always abide by the decision , " he said .
So is the gas price to the customer , he continued, PGN is the only entity that transparently report forming part of the selling price of gas .
" While the " traders " and " broker " other gases to date no one knows how the benefits and costs that they have set , " he said .
He explained to the cost of pipe lines along the 400 miles I SSWJ
( built in 2007 ) PGN discretion BPH Migas , its path cost rate is 1.55 dollars per mscf . While the cost of pipeline SSWJ II along 600 km ( built in 2008 ) charged a rate of 1.47 U.S. dollars per mscf .
Against West Java distribution pipeline along the 2,400 km ( built 1984 -2009 ) reported the cost to the government amounted to U.S. $ 2.2 per MMBTU .
While other business entity that has a pipe - Cilegon cilamaya built in 1974 with the upstream scheme , with a 360 km long pipeline only its rate to 1.9 U.S. dollars per MMBTU .
" With older pipes and shorter , but its rate is far higher . 's Similar to inflate the value of assets such as occurs in antiques auction market . "
Associated with the implementation of the " open access " to the downstream pipeline gas , PGN has done it on a segment - Batam - Singapore Grissik long before ESDM No. 19/2009 was issued .
But then abused by the emergence of brokers who received gas allocation of JOB Pertamina - Talisman Jambi Merang .
At that time JOB Pertamina Talisman Jambi Merang sell gas to PT Development of Batam , which then sold again to PT Inti Prima Power Latu ( IDLP ) , and then sell to consumers PLN Batam . Because IDLP sell gas to existing customers , in this case the PLN Batam and do not develop the infrastructure to reach new markets .
It causes stagnation of infrastructure and an excess supply of gas . As a result of fuel to gas conversion efforts in new areas such as the government declared to be blocked.
It is also common in East Java and West Java .
" The brokers that receive gas from the gas allocation Commerce Pertagas rush to make the pipe " open access " which was built by the state in 1974 . "
He added that the brokers sell gas to consumers by profits that can not be monitored by the government .
" The extension of the gas business chain besides causing stagnation of the development of gas infrastructure , also makes a high -cost economy . So there is no history of" open access " to lower gas prices , " said Aris .
Gas prices in countries that do not apply the " open access " such as Malaysia and Thailand , it is cheaper than the price of gas in Europe , and cheaper than in Indonesia, which has implemented the " open access " to transmission pipelines .
Therefore , PGN deeply regrets the opinion of an expert management lay the national gas industry , but he boldly commented menggenai " open access " .
However , if the government wants to implement open access and " unbundling " , PGN requested application are enforced fairly .
As the gas company has the infrastructure , he said , how could PGN brokers can compete with gas , if the current position of the chain farthest PGN always be in the order of business rents gas .
With the experience and ability for this , PGN optimistic compete when the government implemented the " open access " .
Aris give an example , Gaz de France remains victorious in spite of the pipe in the open - access , even ranks 33rd on the Fortune 500 . Likewise, the French oil company , Total , which ranks 11th .
The problem , he said , not on " open access " scheme but the application of the gas business are enforced fairly .
