...a consultant is collecting data on the needs of 3-kg LPG canisters in five districts and is expected by 2015 all districts and cities have already converted.Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan (AntaranewsKalsel) - South Kalimantan provincial government proposes completion of kerosene conversion to liquefied petroleum gas for the five districts, which until now have
not received an allocation of subsidized LPG.
Head of South Kalimantan Mining and Energy Agency Kustono Widodo here on Wednesday said from 13 districts and cities in South Kalimantan, only eight that get a share of the conversion.
The condition is becoming one of the triggers of subsidized LPG scarcity in districts and cities which have implemented conversion. Some of their quotas allegedly brought to unconversion areas.
Five districts are not getting the conversion program, namely the North Hulu Sungai, Tabalong, Tanah Laut, Tanah Bumbu and Kotabaru. While the circulation of 3-kg LPG canisters has been seen in the five districts.
Currently, he added, a consultant is collecting data on the needs of 3-kg LPG canisters in five districts and is expected by 2015 all districts and cities have already converted.
Related to quota, said Kustono, in 2014 South Kalimantan get 41 thousand metric tons and only realized 39 thousand metric tons. This means that there was still some 2 thousand metric tons.
After 12 kilograms LPG price rises from Rp120.900 to Rp143.900 per canister, allegedly many consumers switched to a much cheaper 3-kg LPG. This condition triggering the scarcity of subsidised LPG, then the price rising from only Rp15.500 in the agent becomes Rp17,000 to Rp25 thousand per canister.
