Overview of the energy sector in Indonesia. The project would consist of: design and construction of major extensions to the existing natural gas distribution networks in Jakarta, Bogor and Medan, including new supply lines, local distribution pipelines, regulator stations and customer metering stations; rehabilitation of Perusahaan Umum Gas Negara (PGN)'s existing gas distribution networks, which are unsafe; and establishment of a program to assist industrial users in plant conversion for natural gas use. A centerpiece of the project would be the "twinning" of PGN with an established gas utility to develop PGN's managerial and technical expertise through close collaboration with a similar, more experienced, operating entity. Project cost and financing plan. (Econom. Voorlichtingsdienst)

Simultaneous collaboration and competition, or coopetition, has so far been studied among firms or non-profit organizations, leaving the public arena largely unexplored. This study focuses on identifying and measuring common benefit generation by local government actors in coopetition. We purposefully choose a metropolis composed of 41 municipalities setting to identify and measure those effects of coopetition that cannot be achieved by individual actors alone. We use real data and tariffs to run simulations that identify common and individual benefits generated in gas and electricity distribution. We find that savings can be achieved by mutualizing energy procurement, even though the distribution of savings is not equal among municipalities. We substantiate that energy communities can act as coopetitive platforms to optimize energy costs of municipalities.

The claim of CGD network coverage for 98% of the population doesn't guarantee PNG access. It only indicates potential access and is entirely dependent on infrastructure completion and CGD economics. ...

For the reorganization of the gas distribution companies affiliated to JSC "Moldovagaz", a bibliographic study of the experience of foreign countries in this field was carried out, analyzing the production, financial and economic conditions of the activity of the mentioned companies. In order to improve the organizational structure of the 12 existing natural gas distribution companies, the analysis of technical and economic indicators and their evaluation were performed as well as the development of three management models of the natural gas distribution system. The comparative analysis of the functions and responsibilities of the management of natural gas distribution companies as well as the organizational structural options was performed, thе tаrgеt struсturе оf thе singlе gаs distributiоn соmраny wаs аnаlyzеd. Thе аdvаntаgеs аnd disаdvаntаgеs оf еасh rеоrgаnizаtiоn mоdеl wеrе аnаlyzеd sо thаt in thе еnd it wаs determined and rесоmmеndеd thе орtimаl model.

This paper aims to investigate the possibilities for improvement of efficiency of the natural gas distribution sector in the light of supporting the competitiveness of the domestic companies. The gas distribution network operated by distribution system operators (DSOs) is an important link of the value chain in delivering natural gas to industrial consumers and households. DSOs are in a position of natural monopoly that is economically and socially acceptable. Because of their importance for the competitiveness of national economy, we analyzed their technical efficiency and financial condition. We found that many of those companies have a low level of technical efficiency and ruined financial health and investment potency. Several possibilities for improving this performance were analysed, and as the most viable seemed to be mergers of these companies into a fewer number of DSOs. The main DSO-specific sources of value that could be activated through merger transactions were identified and analysed in depth. The process of mergers should be initiated by government, and its implementation should be supported by local authorities if they founded the DSO.
