| Description | Phase 2 of the project will construct, operate and maintain a 21 MW solar power plant in Likupang (North Sulawesi) and three 7 MW solar power plants, in Pringgabaya, Selong, and Sengkol (Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Objectives and Scope | The Government of Indonesia has set ambitious targets to increase the share of energy supplied from renewable energy from 12% in 2013 to 23% in 2025. Therefore, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral plans to increase the capacity of grid power generation through new and renewable energy to 45 GW by 2025. The Project contributes to the acceleration and expansion of private sector investments in clean energy infrastructure in Indonesia. The Project supports a leading private sector player (Equis Group) in its contributions towards this goal. The concessional financing from the Canadian Climate Fund for the Private Sector in Asia II (CFPS II) was needed to assist with implementation of the first utility scale solar power projects in Indonesia and to help the project sponsors to address its first mover costs and disadvantages as well as overcome various technical and regulatory challenges. |

| Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | The project supports private sector infrastructure and environment, two of the five core pillars of the ADB strategy as reaffirmed by the Midterm Review of Strategy 2020. The project is consistent with the country partnership strategy for Indonesia, 2016-2019 by supporting the expansion of infrastructure and environment-friendly technologies for clean energy generation. The project is consistent with ADB's Energy Policy, which states that support for renewable energy projects will be prioritized and broadened. |

| Summary of Environmental and Social Aspects | |
|---|---|
| Environmental Aspects | To meet Safeguard Policy Statement environment category B project requirements, Equis Energy has prepared environmental and social impact assessments for the four solar power subprojects including power transmission lines. It also prepared an environmental management plan outlining appropriate measures to avoid, minimize, and mitigate any impacts. Most of the project components, such as the solar panels and transmission line poles, will be situated on rain-fed dry agricultural land historically planted with corn, cassava, and beans. None of the four solar subprojects or their surrounding areas are located in or near an environmentally sensitive area. |
| Involuntary Resettlement | The Project is classified as category C for involuntary resettlements. The SPVs procured project land using a willing buyer, willing seller process without availing themselves of the provisions of the National Land Agency Law No. 2/2012 on land procurement for development in the public interest. Land acquisition did not result in involuntary resettlement because of physical or economic displacement. |
| Indigenous Peoples | The Project is classified as category C for indigenous peoples. The majority of the subproject area population in North Sulawesi belong to the Sainghe Talaud ethnic group, a subgroup of the Minahasa which is the dominant ethnic group in the province. In Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, 80% of the subproject area population originated from the Sasak Tribe, the dominant ethnic group in the area. The subproject areas are not situated in or overlapping any traditionally owned land or lands with customary rights. The ethnic groups residing in the subproject area villages are not separate from mainstream North Sulawesi and West Nusa Tenggara society, and are neither distinct nor vulnerable. |
