This signing was carried out by PGN Sales and Operations Director Ratih Esti Prihatini and SURGE President Director Yune Marketatmo.

This collaboration will target 2.5 million households on the island of Java through the provision of gas pipeline network infrastructure by PGN and internet network by SURGE, which will provide reliable gas network and internet services at affordable prices to households and commercial businesses. It is hoped that this collaboration will accelerate penetration and distribution of gas networks and internet that are more equitable, affordable, and can have an impact on the economic development of society.
The government has set a target for developing a household gas network of 2.5 million home connections. Through this collaboration, PGN and Surge have agreed to carry out Joint Marketing, Joint Construction, and/or Product Bundling for gas lines services and internet services for the household and commercial sectors. With this collaboration, it is hoped that it can provide added value to gas network services to potential customers, namely in the form of affordable internet subscription services so that it can increase the economic value of gas network projects.

"Surge really welcomes this collaboration between PGN, where we provide internet services for PGN to increase the utilization of the gas pipeline network. We will continue to develop and market gas pipeline services and internet services for the household and commercial sectors. "We will continue to coordinate and support the efforts made by PGN to accelerate the provision of gas and internet networks for households which will have an impact on improving the Indonesian economy," said SURGE President Director, Yune Marketatmo, 10/06/24.

The collaboration between PGN and SURGE will be important in supporting the government in encouraging the use of natural gas through domestic gas pipelines. The benefits of the gas jar program can help reduce LPG imports and save on government energy subsidy costs. The benefits of reducing LPG imports and energy subsidy costs will be greater as the number of household connections increases.
