Energizing a sustainable future

Inspired by ambitious national and global targets, since 2019 ICLEI Indonesia and the Government of West Nusa Tenggara (WNT) have affirmed their commitment to strengthen cooperation in achieving Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and accelerating the transition to renewable energy through the 100% Renewables Cities and Regions Roadmap (100% RE) Project. The 100%RE Project provides support to local and regional governments to promote progress towards 100% renewable energy strategies with increased awareness and stakeholder participation in Indonesia, Kenya and Argentina. 

Karang Taliwang Public Health Center is set to undergo a remarkable energy transformation since it is a pilot for the development of financeable PV projects. A thorough Feasibility Study conducted by ICENERGY found that a 41.8 kWp rooftop solar PV system, equipped with a 288-kWh storage battery, will harness solar irradiation to generate clean and sustainable electrical energy for 24 hours for the Public Health Center. This includes powering the Emergency Room at the Public Health Center. This design would reduce reliance on conventional grid power, which is predominantly generated from fossil fuel power plants. In compliance with technical, environmental, and legal regulations, the energy produced will be utilized for self-consumption of Karang Taliwang Public Health Center.

Korean Official Development Assistance (ODA) is a South Korea’s Government aid designed to promote the economic development and welfare of developing countries. In collaboration with KMAC, a consulting firm in Korea, ICENERGY supports the preparation of ODA projects to support the development of renewable energy in the Indonesian agricultural sector. This project focuses on two emerging agricultural sectors in Indonesia: 1) Shrimp aquaculture, and 2) Organic vegetable farming. This collaboration involves the Indonesian government, namely the Ministry of National Planning and Development (Bappenas) and the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR)

This building energy simulation is assigned by Matra Studio. This energy simulation is conducted to evaluate the energy consumption of the BTN Kebun Jeruk Office as part of the assessment for the Greenship  Certification – New Building 1.2. BTN Kebun Jeruk Office consists of 1 basement and 4 floors. The energy simulation for the BTN Kebun Jeruk Office uses the EnergyPlus engine within the DesignBuilder software. The use of energy modeling software for calculating energy consumption is a requirement for achieving the PLATINUM certification level in the Greenship Certification.

The program is assigned by the IFC (International Finance Corporation – World Bank Group). This program aims to raise awareness among owners and management, provide insights, and enhance the knowledge and skills of the project team/staff. It also offers an opportunity to discuss sustainability commitments for the Pakuwon Group through the use of EDGE green building certification.

Electrification of transportation systems is one of the main decarbonization strategies in Indonesia. In 2021 alone, the transportation sector contributed 25% of total energy-related carbon emissions. The Indonesian government has focused on developing the Battery-Based Electric Vehicle (KBLBB) industry since the enactment of Presidential Regulation No. 55/2019, which was then followed by the issuance of various regulations from related ministries and institutions as well as local governments. Even so, the progress of KBLBB adoption in Indonesia is still very low. For example, sales of battery-based electric cars in Indonesia were only 1.01% of all car sales in 2022.

Using the policy integration conceptual framework, this study identifies gaps and opportunities in electric vehicle policies in Indonesia, in order to develop recommendations for the 2024-2029 National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN). ICENERGY found that in general, national general planning policies and industry-specific KBLBB policies have not been fully integrated, but much progress has been observed in terms of integrating industry-specific KBLBB planning policies.
