“There are six blocks in Tipar Cakung Flat that will be powered with gas,” stated Head of Jakarta Public Housing and Government’s Buildings Department, Yonathan Pasodung, Wednesday (9/17).
According to Pasodung, the use of gas through gas pipelines is more beneficial for the residents because its price is cheaper than using liquefied petroleum gas (elpiji) canisters.
All Flats in Jakarta Will Have Gas Pipeline Soon“Using gas through gas pipelines is also safer. This would be an example for other residents,” he said.
Meanwhile, PT Perusahaan Gas Negara (PGN) spokesman, Irwan Andri Atmanto, informed that some flats in the capital city are already installed with gas pipelines. But until now, only Marunda Flat, North Jakarta, which has been powered with gas.
“The gas pipelines have been installed. But to power the flats with gas, we’ll do it gradually,” he explained.
