The Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP) is an international financing cooperation program to support energy transition in developing countries.
In 2022, Indonesia received a JETP financing commitment totaling US$20 billion.
The JETP commitment for Indonesia comes from two funding sources: the International Partners Group (IPG) and the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ).
The IPG is an organization comprising governments of developed countries, namely the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, Norway, Denmark, and the European Union.
The IPG group has committed to providing at least US$10 billion in JETP financing for Indonesia.
GFANZ is an organization whose members are international financial institutions, namely HSBC, Citibank, Standard Chartered, Bank of America, Deutsche Bank, MUFG, and Macquarie.
GFANZ has committed to providing similar financing with a minimum value of US$10 billion.
Most of the financing from the IPG group is projected to be in the form of loans.
This is recorded in the Comprehensive Investment and Policy Plan (CIPP) document released by the Indonesian JETP Secretariat on November 1, 2023.
According to the document, the IPG group could provide up to US$11.5 billion in financing to support Indonesia's energy transition.
However, approximately US$6.9 billion (60%) of this will be in the form of concessional loans, i.e., loans with lower interest rates, and more flexible repayment terms and grace periods than market standards.
In addition to these concessional loans, approximately US$2 billion (17%) of Indonesia's JETP financing is projected to be in the form of guarantees.
These guarantees will be provided by the United Kingdom and the United States to ensure the disbursement of loans from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), which will then be used for Indonesia's JETP financing.
Then, US$1.59 billion (14%) of JETP financing will be in the form of non-concessional loans, i.e., loans with market standard interest rates and longer tenors.
There is also equity investment financing worth US$384.5 million (3%), other financing of US$345.3 million (3%), and grant funding of US$292.3 million (3%).
Meanwhile, as of early November 2023, the CIPP has not yet detailed the financing scenario from the GFANZ group.
All plans outlined in this CIPP are still in draft form and are not yet legally binding.
"We are opening the draft JETP investment plan with the hope of gathering as much input as possible from all elements and levels of society," said the Head of the Indonesian JETP Secretariat, Edo Mahendra, in a press release on Wednesday (1/11/2023).
"This is in line with JETP's commitment to upholding the principles of transparency, accountability, and participation," he continued.
