Peraturan Presiden 26/2026 (Peraturan Presiden Nomor 26 Tahun 2026 tentang Pengadaan Minyak Bumi, Bahan Bakar Minyak, dan/atau Liquefied Petroleum Gas untuk Ketahanan Energi Nasional) is an Indonesian presidential regulation on the procurement of crude oil, fuel oil and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) for national energy security. It was signed by President Prabowo Subianto and promulgated on 30 April 2026, and took effect on promulgation.[1] It forms part of the body of rules described at mining and energy regulation in Indonesia, and was issued to give effect to the government's duty, under Pasal 8 ayat (2) of the Oil and Natural Gas Law, to secure the availability and distribution of fuel throughout the country.[2]
The regulation distinguishes domestic procurement from imports, and sets out three legal bases on which imports may be made: an intergovernmental agreement, cooperation between the central government and a foreign supplier, and cooperation between an energy-sector business entity and a foreign supplier.[3] It gives a role in importing to a public service agency (Badan Layanan Umum, BLU) of the energy sector alongside energy-sector state-owned enterprises, and links imports by the agency to the energy buffer reserve and operational reserves.[4]
It also provides for procurement in urgent circumstances, allows fuel held in free-trade zones and bonded logistics centres to count toward the reserves, empowers the government to freeze or suspend exports of domestically produced crude in an emergency, and requires monthly reporting to the minister.[5][6][7][8] CRPG's regulatory tracker published an analysis of the regulation in June 2026.[9]
The preamble states that the regulation was needed to guarantee the availability of fuel oil and LPG for households and industry, which required rules on procuring crude oil for domestic refineries and on the reliability of fuel and LPG supply from domestic and foreign sources. It rests on Pasal 4 ayat (1) of the Constitution and on Law 22/2001 on Oil and Natural Gas, as last amended by Law 6/2023, which enacted the Job Creation Perppu as a law.[2:1]
Pasal 1 defines energy security (Ketahanan Energi) as a condition in which the availability of energy and public access to energy at affordable prices are assured over the long term while protecting and managing the environment. It defines the energy buffer reserve (Cadangan Penyangga Energi) as the quantity of energy sources and energy stored nationally to meet national demand for a given period, in the same terms as Perpres 96/2024, and the operational reserve (Cadangan Operasional) as the energy held by energy suppliers to meet their consumers' needs.[10][11] The minister named throughout is the minister responsible for oil and natural gas, and the regulatory body (Badan Pengatur) is the body that regulates and supervises the supply and distribution of fuel oil and gas in the downstream sector.[10:1]
Pasal 2 states two aims: good governance of the procurement of crude oil, fuel oil and LPG, and greater continuity, reliability and national energy security. Its scope covers domestic procurement and import procurement.[3:1] Under Pasal 3, domestic crude comes from upstream oil and gas production in Indonesia, domestic fuel oil from refineries operated by business entities in the processing sector, and domestic LPG from oil and gas refineries.[3:2]
Pasal 4 ayat (1) lists the three bases for imports. Where an import rests on an intergovernmental agreement or on cooperation between the central government and a foreign supplier, it may be carried out by an energy-sector BLU, acting under a cooperation agreement, or by an energy-sector state-owned enterprise (Badan Usaha Milik Negara, BUMN), acting on an assignment (penugasan).[4:1] An import by a business entity under its own cooperation with a foreign supplier requires an allocation and approval from the central government. The minister may also assign the BLU to import outside the two government-level bases, and imports by the BLU serve to fill the energy buffer reserve or operational reserves.[4:2]
Pasal 6 allows the BLU to finance its imports from its own internal funds or other lawful sources. Pasal 7 ties imports by a state-owned enterprise to an annual needs plan approved through an allocation from the minister, permits direct appointment or direct purchase from foreign suppliers in urgent circumstances, and allows fixed-term or multi-year procurement contracts where market fluctuation and limited global availability justify them.[12] Under Pasal 8 ayat (1), a business entity imports only after obtaining an import approval.[6:1]
Pasal 5 allows the BLU or a state-owned enterprise to import to meet domestic needs in urgent circumstances, defined by five criteria: geopolitical conditions that may disrupt global supply; disruption of the supply chain at home or abroad; disaster or force majeure in supplying countries; limited supply causing high price volatility; and national minimum reserves falling below a threshold. The minister determines when such circumstances exist, and purchases made under them may carry price differences according to quantity, product type, country of origin and delivery time, as agreed in the purchase contract.[5:1]
Pasal 10 permits the government, in urgent circumstances, to freeze or suspend exports of crude oil and associated products from domestic upstream production where they are needed for national energy security.[7:1]
Pasal 8 allows importing entities to store crude, fuel oil and LPG in the customs area, in a free trade zone and free port (Kawasan Perdagangan Bebas dan Pelabuhan Bebas, KPBPB) or in a bonded logistics centre (Pusat Logistik Berikat, PLB), and counts stocks held in a KPBPB or PLB toward the energy buffer reserve or operational reserves.[6:2] Pasal 9 allows the same entities to buy stocks owned by foreign suppliers and held in those facilities for domestic needs, according to allocations set by the minister, with import duties and taxes calculated under the general rules and customs inspections carried out selectively on a risk basis. Pasal 11 treats sales by the BLU to state-owned enterprises and business entities from stocks held in a KPBPB or PLB as domestic transactions, paid in rupiah.[6:3][7:2]
Pasal 12 gives the minister the task of guiding and supervising the planning and execution of procurement, jointly with other ministries and agencies where needed, while the regulatory body regulates and supervises fuel distribution.[13] Under Pasal 13, every BLU, state-owned enterprise or business entity that procures crude, fuel oil or LPG reports to the minister monthly, no later than the fifteenth day of the following month. Complaints to the minister of irregularities or misuse are evaluated and resolved with administrative sanctions; where a complaint is made to the police, the Attorney General's Office or the Corruption Eradication Commission, its resolution gives precedence to the administrative process.[8:1]
The transitional provision in Pasal 14 keeps in force the urgent-procurement determinations that the minister had already made under the Pasal 5 criteria, and allows compensation for state-owned enterprises to take into account world base prices for purchases as set by the minister. Pasal 15 brings the regulation into force on promulgation.[14][1:1]
