Gas stove pipes must be replaced every year: minister
Thursday, July 8, 2010 17:36 WIB | Economic & Business |
Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Minister Darwin Saleh said that consumers must replace the hoses of their 3kg-gas stoves every year.
"Technically, gas stove regulators and pipes can only be used for one year," Minister Darwin Saleh said here on Thursday.
But the government has not yet decided the continuation of its liquefied natural gas (LNG) stove regulator and hose sale program as it is doing at present, he said.
"Gas stove regulators and pipes must be replaced every year. But whether or not the government will continue to provide such assistance will be seen later," the minister said.
However, the government will continue to provide subsidies for the needy people in the form of health, education and energy subsidies, the minister said.
The government had begun on Wednesday to sell gas stove pipes and regulators at factory prices through LPG retailer agents. Pipes are sold at a price of Rp15,000 for each while regulators at Rp20,000.
This is far below the market prices which reach Rp70,000 for hoses and Rp125,000 for regulators, according to the minister.
Taxes and transportation cost of the products are borne by the government, the minister explained.
For the time being in Bekasi, West Java, pipes and regulators are sold in six LPG retailer agents.
Darwin added that the regulator and pipe sale program was being carried out as part of the government`s form of responsibility for its kerosene-to-3kg LPG conversion program.
In carrying out its kerosene-to-gas conversion program, the government has distributed 45 million units.
"The government is willing to provide more security to the people. If in the past the government fielded a team to assist the distribution of the gas cylinders, now it was sending a team to provide information on how to use gas stove in a safe way," the minister said.
