JAKARTA. PT Perusahaan Gas Negara (Persero) Tbk (PGAS), also known as PGN, is prioritizing the construction of 700 thousand new gas network connections in 2020, following the government's mandate.

Gigih Prakoso Soewarto, President Director of PGN, said the mandate is part of the plan to build 10 million gas network connections by 2024. "Obviously we will also consult with the Commissioner, how it can be realized according to what the government has targeted," explained Soewarto as quoted by Kontan on Wednesday (22/1) today.

Of the 700 thousand gas network connections, as much as 266.07 thousand will be built using state budget (Rp 3 trillion). While the rest will be built with funds prepared by PGN.

In addition, this year PGN will also focus on deciding the price of industrial gas, as requested by President Joko Widodo. (KR/AR)
