Kapanlagi.com - Starting February 1, 2025, this subsidized LPG can only be purchased at registered official bases, no longer from retailers. This step is taken to maintain price stability and shorten the distribution chain, so that this assistance can be targeted to the communities in need.
The Deputy Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), Yuliot Tanjung, emphasized that retailers now have a golden opportunity to transform into official bases. The government is giving retailers one month to register and meet the established requirements.
So, for those who want to continue selling 3 kg LPG, now is the time to act! The registration process can be done online through the OSS (Online Single Submission) system or the Pertamina Partnership site. Make sure to follow the necessary steps and requirements so you don't miss out on this major change.
1. Why Should Retailers Switch to Official Bases?
The government has firmly launched a new policy aimed at ensuring subsidized LPG truly reaches the hands of those who are entitled. Until now, the price of 3 kg gas at the retail level has often soared, exceeding the highest retail price (HET) that has been set. With the existence of official bases, it is hoped that prices can be more uniform and affordable for all.
In addition, this updated distribution scheme will facilitate the supervision of the distribution of subsidized gas, thereby minimizing the potential for abuse. From now on, retail shops that are not registered as official bases will not be allowed to sell 3 kg gas after a one-month transition period ends.
2. Requirements to Become a 3 Kg LPG Base
For retailers or individuals who want to switch to an official base, there are several documents that must be prepared, including:
- Identity Card (KTP)
- Tax Identification Number (NPWP)
- Proof of land ownership or lease
- Business License
- Trade Business License (SIUP) and Company Registration Certificate (TDP)
- Bank reference letter and environmental approval documents
Without these documents, the application to become an official base cannot be processed.
3. How to Register for a 3 Kg LPG Gas Base through OSS

Additionally, becoming an official base also opens up new business opportunities that are more legal and sustainable.
