KEY DELIVERABLES

This technical assistance (TA) support is part of Component 1: Accelerated Retirement of Coal Plants, under the Indonesia ACT Country Investment Plan. The TA engagement will kick-start and complement Investment Component 1.1(b), which pertains to PT SMI's early retirement program for coal-fired power plants (CFPP).

The project will deliver two key outputs: (i) the development and pilot implementation of a just transition framework for PT SMI for its role as ETM Country Platform (ETMCP) manager; and (ii) capacity building for PT SMI to execute a just transition financing program.

The TA project will complement and enable the Accelerating Coal Retirement Facility (ACRF) and debt financing to support the accelerated retirement of PLN-owned CFPPs. ADB’s financial intermediary loan (FIL), a CIF-ACT loan and financing from commercial lenders will be blended with the Government Investment Fund (Operator Investasi Pemerintah, OIP) contributing to ACRF, which may be established as a trust fund within PT SMI.
