Nusantara Regas Successfully Completes Turnaround 2026 to Safeguard Jakarta’s Energy Reliability

Jakarta – PT Nusantara Regas (NR) successfully completed its 2026 Turnaround (TA) safely, smoothly, and on schedule during the period of March 14–24, 2026, while also achieving a zero-accident record. The activity was carried out to ensure the readiness of its facilities in fulfilling their role as vital infrastructure for clean energy supply, particularly for the Greater Jakarta and West Java regions.

President Director of PT Nusantara Regas, Mohd. Iskandar Mirza, together with Director of Operations and Commercial, Mahfud Fauzi, directly oversaw the entire technical and operational process to ensure that facility maintenance was carried out to the highest standards, allowing gas distribution to customers to resume optimally. The Turnaround forms part of a strategic effort to maintain the operational reliability of NR’s facilities, particularly in the receiving, storage, and regasification of LNG to meet PLN power plant requirements.

One of the main focuses of this Turnaround was identifying critical aspects of facility maintenance, including improvements in efficiency and the reliability of the operational system. The TA began with the shutdown of operations (zero flow), followed by a series of inspections, maintenance work, spare part replacements, and final technical checks on the repairs.

At the final stage, the startup process for Train 1 was carried out, followed by Train 2 to achieve full-rate regasification capacity, with gas distribution adjusted to the needs of PLN power plants and PGN’s industrial customers. Before gas distribution resumed, NR also conducted a comprehensive Pre-Startup Safety Review (PSSR) procedure as part of its HSSE implementation standards. This process ensured that all operational aspects were in a safe condition for operation by eliminating identified potential hazards.

President Director of Nusantara Regas, Mohd. Iskandar Mirza, expressed his appreciation to all personnel and parties involved in carrying out this activity, especially during the Eid al-Fitr period.

“We extend our deepest appreciation to all personnel and supporting teams who demonstrated extraordinary dedication, especially those who had to miss the Eid al-Fitr moment with their families to ensure that the Turnaround was carried out safely and on time. Everyone involved has shown the spirit of Serving with Heart for the benefit of the wider community,” said Mirza.

He also conveyed his gratitude to PLN EPI, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, PT Perusahaan Gas Negara (Persero) Tbk, and Pertamina Hulu Energi Offshore North West Java (PHE ONWJ) for their support throughout the Turnaround.

Director of Operations and Commercial of Nusantara Regas, Mahfud Fauzi, added that following the completion of the Turnaround, all operational facilities are now ready to support energy distribution optimally.

“With the completion of Turnaround 2026, all NR operational facilities are now in optimal condition to support gas distribution. At present, gas flow regulation and volume adjustments are continuing intensively in coordination with PLN and PGN operations teams on site to ensure that energy needs are met reliably and sustainably,” Mahfud explained.

With the completion of Turnaround 2026, gas supply to the Muara Karang, Tanjung Priok, and Muara Tawar power plants, which form part of the Ring 1 electricity system for Jakarta and West Java, has now resumed normal operations through Nusantara Regas’ facilities.

The successful completion of this Turnaround reflects NR’s commitment to maintaining operational reliability while ensuring customer satisfaction and delivering energy that sustainably supports people’s daily lives.

PT Nusantara Regas is an affiliate of PT Pertamina (Persero), established jointly with PT Perusahaan Gas Negara Tbk, and is responsible for operating the West Java Floating Storage & Regasification Unit (FSRU) in the waters of Jakarta Bay as well as the Muara Karang Onshore Receiving Facilities in Jakarta. These facilities play a vital role in receiving and processing LNG as an energy supply for power plants in Jakarta and the western part of Java.
