In anticipation of the 2017 Christmas and 2018 New Year celebrations and the school holiday season, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) has stated that fuel (BBM) stocks are sufficiently secure and able to meet demand for 20 days.
These stocks have taken into account increases and decreases in demand for all types of fuel during the Christmas and New Year celebrations. Demand for Premium is projected to increase by 2 percent from the average daily normal demand, Pertalite (12 percent), Pertamax (7 percent), Dexlite (10 percent), Kerosene (3 percent), and Avtur (11.5 percent). Meanwhile, demand for solar is expected to decrease by 6 percent.
Average fuel reserves are sufficient to meet demand for 25 days for Premium, 20.6 days for Pertamax, 21.2 days for Pertalite, 20.1 days for solar, 30.1 days for Avtur, and 45.6 days for kerosene.
