Investasi Energi Terbarukan Demi Kedaulatan Energi MCA-Indonesia Sosialisasikan Hibah Pembiayaan Bersama Energi Terbarukan Jakarta, 23 Januari 2015 – Dengan menanamkan investasi pada energi terbarukan, Indonesia bisa meraih kedaulatan energi yang lebih besar. Artinya ketergantungan terhadap energi non terbarukan seperti minyak bumi yang kini banyak diimpor Indonesia akan berkurang. Millennium Challenge Account – Indonesia (MCA-Indonesia) selaku pengelola dana Hibah Compact dari Millennium Challenge Corporation mendukung upaya pemerintah mempercepat pembangunan fasilitas tenaga listrik melalui Proyek Kemakmuran Hijau. Salah satunya ialah melalui penyaluran Hibah Pembiayaan Bersama Energi Terbarukan, yang bertujuan menggerakkan investasi sektor swasta untuk bekerja sama dengan pemerintah membangun fasilitas energi terbarukan dan memenuhi kebutuhan listrik Indonesia. “Kebutuhan energi listrik di Indonesia sangat besar, sedangkan potensi energi terbarukan juga besar,” ujar Lukita D. Tuwo, Interim Executive Director MCA-Indonesia, dalam sosialisasi Hibah Pembiayaan Bersama Energi Terbarukan pada 3 Februari 2015. Potensi energi terbarukan Indonesia terdiri dari potensi sumber daya air 75.670 MW (termasuk potensi mini/mikro hidro sebesar 500 MW); biomassa 49.810 MW; dan tenaga surya 4,80 kWh/m2/hari. Melalui hibah tersebut, Proyek Kemakmuran Hijau berpotensi mendukung tercapainya target kelistrikan Pemerintah Indonesia sebagaimana tertuang dalam Rencana Pembangunan Menengah Nasional 2014-2019. Target-target tersebut adalah peningkatan rasio elektrifikasi masyarakat di perdesaan dari 81,5% di 2014 menjadi 96,6% pada 2019, peningkatan konsumsi masyarakat akan listrik dari 843 kWh tahun 2014 menjadi 1.200 kWh pada 2019, dan penambahan pembangunan infrastuktur di luar pulau Jawa. Hibah ini bertujuan mempercepat pengembangan fasilitas pembangkit listrik komersial bertenaga energi terbarukan yang terhubungkan dengan jaringan PLN, khususnya di perdesaan. MCA-Indonesia akan menyalurkan hibah pembiayaan bersama bagi proyek-proyek yang dikembangkan oleh sektor swasta (IPP atau independent power producer) untuk memproduksi tenaga listrik yang dijual ke jaringan PLN (on-grid). Prioritas hibah adalah proyek dengan kapasitas terpasang antara 1 dan 10 MW. Proyek dengan kapasitas di atas 10 MW akan dipertimbangkan, jika telah menegosiasikan Perjanjian Jual Beli Listrik (PJBL) dan memenuhi kriteria kelayakan MCA-Indonesia. Total dana hibah yang akan dialokasikan adalah 100 juta dolar AS untuk membiayai proyek di 13 provinsi yang menjadi lokasi Proyek Kemakmuran HIjau. Seluruh hibah sudah harus disalurkan pada 1 April 2018.

Through the Green Prosperity Project, Millennium Challenge Account – Indonesia (MCA-Indonesia) as the manager of Compact Grant from Millennium Challenge Corporation is supporting the efforts of the Government of Indonesia to accelerate the development of power generation facilities. One of the forms of support is the Renewable Energy Co-Financing Grant, which aims to encourage the private sector to cooperate with the government to develop renewable energy facilities while fulfilling the nation's need for electric power. "Indonesia's need for electrical energy is enormous, but we also high potential of renewable energy," says Lukita D. Tuwo, MCA-Indonesia Interim Executive Director, in the event to promote the Renewable Energy Co-Financing Grant on 3 February 2015. Indonesia's renewable energy potential consists of 75,670 MW from water (including 500 W of mini/micro hydro potential); 49,810 MW from biomass, and 4.8 kWh/m2/day of solar energy. Through the grant, the Green Prosperity Project has the potential to support the Government of Indonesia to achieve its targets, as mentioned in the 2014-2019 National Midterm Development Plan. These targets are the increase of village electrification rate from 81.5% in 2014 to 96.6% in 2019, the increase of domestic electric consumption from 843 kWh in 2014 to 1,200 kWh in 2019, and the addition of infrastructure development outside Java Island. The grant aims to accelerate the development of renewable energy commercial power plant facilities that are connected with PLN networks, particularly in the villages. MCA-Indonesia will distribute cofinancing grant for projects developed by the private sector (IPP or independent power producer) to produce electric power which will be sold to PLN networks (on-grid). Grants are prioritized for projects with installed capacity between 1 and 10 MW. Projects with capacity over 10 MW will be considered if they already have PPAs (Power Purchase Agreement) and meet MCA-Indonesia Project Eligibility criteria. MCA-Indonesia has allocated total Renewable Energy Co-Financing Grant funds of approximately US$ 100 Million to fund projects in 13 provinces, which are Green Prosperity Project locations. All grants must be disbursed no later than 1 April 2018.
