Indonesia redirects Singapore-bound gas to domestic power users
SKK Migas said pipeline exports to Singapore were cut by 31 MMSCFD from 24 October 2026 to support electricity supplies in Indonesia.
Indonesia has shifted part of its gas allocation for Singapore to domestic consumers, including electricity generators, according to the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources. SKK Migas head Djoko Siswanto said the reduction in pipeline exports amounted to 31 MMSCFD, effective from 24 October 2026.
Djoko said Natuna gas was being sent to PLN Batam using the WNTS–Pulau Pemping–Batam pipeline. Singapore-bound supplies from Sumatra through the TGI pipeline were also being reduced by 16 million standard cubic feet per day to serve electricity demand in Batam, Bintan and Sumatra.
At a Committee II meeting of the Regional Representative Council in Jakarta on 9 November 2026, Deputy Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Yuliot Tanjung said additional production and redirected exports should help Indonesia meet its domestic gas requirements.
Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Bahlil Lahadalia had said on 21 October 2026 that the government was considering stopping gas exports to neighbouring countries. He cited domestic energy needs and national energy security amid geopolitical uncertainty.
