The imbalance in the energy sector is not limited to gas and electricity; rather, energy governance is also significantly affected by inefficiencies and lack of planning. In this situation, one of the key solutions that should be prioritized is the development of small refineries in various provinces.
Advantages of Small Refineries
An official emphasized the necessity of producing close to consumption, stating that these types of refineries can serve as a practical step towards job creation and economic growth. By launching these refineries, the transportation of products will decrease, which will benefit industrial parks and the local economy.
The development of these refineries not only helps reduce transportation costs but also ensures that products reach consumers more directly and quickly. In fact, the establishment of this infrastructure can be considered a turning point in the country's energy governance.
Challenges Ahead
However, the establishment and development of small refineries are not without challenges. Issues related to financing, attracting investors, and providing the necessary infrastructure are among the barriers that need to be addressed. If these challenges are managed, there is hope that the country's energy governance will move towards greater balance and efficiency.
Ultimately, for these plans to succeed, precise planning is required, and inter-organizational collaborations must be formed. Only in this way can we put an end to imbalanced energy governance and optimally utilize existing capacities.
