Pemerintah Bagi-Bagi 500 Ribu Rice Cooker Gratis, Ini Golongan Masyarakat yang Berhak Menerima

Dream - After the success of the 3 Kg gas cylinder program to replace kerosene consumption a few years ago, the government plans to imitate a similar program. This time, 500 thousand rice cookers or rice cookers will be given for free to the community in 2023.

Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources, Arifin Tasrif, said that the effort to distribute free rice cookers is aimed at encouraging the community who use LPG for cooking rice to switch to using electricity. With this program, it is hoped that the import of LPG can be reduced. "The main issue is the import deficit of LPG," said Arifin Tasrif, as quoted from Liputan6.com, Friday, October 13, 2023.

According to data collected by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, there are approximately 60 million households that still use LPG. Arifin emphasizes that this new program is not a futile effort to reduce LPG imports. "If we don't try, then how? If we don't use it, do we want to keep importing LPG? Some people do like importing LPG, indeed," Arifin asked.

The translated text while preserving the HTML tags: "The shared criteria for rice cookers are domestic products that have a high Domestic Component Level (TKDN). One of the mentioned brands is Maspion. 'Basically, it's domestic, TKDN. As much as possible, because it's the one who makes it, try to look at those stove machines, Maspion, it's definitely our national brand,' said Arifin."

Arifin believes this program is in line with the government's mission to embrace environmentally friendly energy. Although the quota has been set, the minister is currently unable to disclose the distribution process of the half a million free rice cookers.

"This is part of the effort to reduce emissions. Later on, the electricity needs can be fulfilled using renewable energy for household electricity. This is one of the government's programs."

"ungkap Arifin." translates to "revealed Arifin."

The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources has issued Ministerial Regulation Number 11 of 2023 regarding the Provision of Electric-Based Cooking Appliances for Household. As a derivative, Technical Instructions for the Provision of Electric-Based Cooking Appliances (AML) have also been issued through Ministerial Decree Number 548.K/TL.04/DJL.3/2023.

Then who can get a free rice cooker? According to Article 3 of Ministerial Regulation (Permen) ESDM Number 11 of 2023, there are several criteria that must be fulfilled by the community to get a free rice cooker, including:

1. The inhabited house has low voltage with a capacity of 450 VA. 2. The small household tariff group is at a voltage of 900 VA. 3. The tariff group for houses with a voltage of 1,300 VA. 4. Households that do not have Electric Cooking Appliances (AML).
