Perusahaan Gas Negara

Perusahaan Gas Negara (PGN) is Indonesia's state-owned enterprise engaged in the natural gas business. Its core activities include the transmission, distribution, and processing of natural gas, as well as the operation of liquefied natural gas (LNG) regasification terminals. PGN supplies gas to a range of domestic customers, including power plants, industrial facilities, commercial establishments, and residential users. By managing the nationwide gas pipeline network, the company enables the movement of gas from production fields and import points to end‑users across the archipelago. In addition to pipeline operations, PGN is involved in gas trading and the provision of related energy services that support the country’s energy security. As a state‑owned enterprise, PGN operates under the auspices of the Ministry of State‑Owned Enterprises of the Republic of Indonesia.

This ownership structure underscores its role as a critical infrastructure provider tasked with ensuring reliable gas supply for national development. The company’s distinguishing attributes lie in its exclusive focus on natural gas, its mandate to develop and maintain the country’s gas infrastructure, and its position as a key actor in Indonesia’s energy transition efforts. PGN’s infrastructure assets, including transmission pipelines and LNG facilities, are essential for linking domestic gas resources with consumption centres and for integrating imported LNG into the national grid. While the prompt does not disclose specific quantitative measures of size or reach, the company’s nationwide footprint is evident from its responsibility for the majority of Indonesia’s gas transportation network. The April 2022 ransomware incident involving the Hive gang, which targeted PGN’s website and attempted double extortion, illustrates the growing cyber‑risk faced by such critical energy operators. Consequently, PGN continues to prioritize the protection of its operational technology and information technology assets as part of its broader risk‑management strategy.
