Pertamina, through its subsidiary Pertamina Patra Niaga, established the 76 GES at several locations, of which three are in Lampung; 43 in Banten, Jakarta, and West Java; 13 in Central Java and Yogyakarta; and 17 in East Java.
In a press statement quoted here on Wednesday, Primary Director of PT Pertamina Patra Niaga Alfian Nasution explained that GES is a new concept, an integrated service for Pertamina's customers with four primary concepts -- Green, Future, Digital, and High Tier Fuel.
He elaborated that the Green concept is implemented through the use of Solar Photo Voltaic (PV) as one of the independent and eco-friendly sources of energy.
"Solar PV provides a significant impact in reducing pollution, greenhouse gas, and the operational cost of the gas station," Nasution remarked.

The second concept, Future, offers a new service in the form of a Charging Station and Battery Swapping Station (BSS), he noted.
"This is our form of support to fortify and expedite the preparation of a battery-based electric vehicle ecosystem in Indonesia," he noted.
Currently, there are five charging stations at gas stations in Fatmawati II, MT Haryono, Lenteng Agung, Kuningan, and Soekarno Hatta that can be used for free, he pointed out.
According to Nasution, his group has also prepared BSS at several gas stations to support the increasing number of electric motorcycle users.
For the third concept, Digital, he explained that his group is preparing MyPertamina as an integrated digital platform for the entire service and transaction process in GES, both for fuel oil products and for charging stations as well as BSS service in future.
Speaking in connection with the fourth concept, High Tier Fuel, he revealed that his group was providing sustainable education on quality fuel: Pertamax Series and Dex series.
