The Energy Industry: Types and Examples of Companies
As a country rich in Natural Resources (SDA), Indonesia is blessed with vast agricultural products such as mineral mining that the state can utilize for the community.
One of the reasons this industrial sector is significantly developed in the country is because Indonesia has various energy sources, from coal, gas, oil, solar power, electricity, and many others.
This sector is not only limited to exploration but also includes production, sales, extraction, manufacturing, distribution, and refining activities, resulting in many companies for different functions.
