Chapter 1
1.1
In order to respond to the rapidly growing demand for electric power that has been increasing at an
annual rate of approximately 8%, the Government of Indonesia (GOI) has been promoting a new
power development by launching the First and Second Crash Program consecutively. According to
RUPTL 2013-2022, PT PLN plans to develop an additional 59,518MW of electric power facilities by
2022. In this plan, 836 MW will be filled through the development of small hydropower generation
facilities. Specifically, GOI attaches importance to the system of utilizing small hydro IPP projects
for 10 MW or less capacity. GOI is thus politically expediting small hydropower development, which
is small in size but can be developed in a short period of time with relatively small amount of
investment.
Under these circumstances, the number of private companies related to small hydro IPPs has been
increasing significantly, although actual physical construction has not been progressing smoothly.
The reasons for this are: (a) lack of technical experience in planning, designing, and engineering of
power generation facilities especially in local private companies, and (b) absence of Indonesian
rupiah-denominated long-term loans under project-based finance scheme. However, since no bidding
process is required under Indonesian laws, and also because business profitability is somewhat secured
by the feed-in tariff (FIT) system, small hydro generation is the area of interest among Japanese
companies with high technical capacities in terms of equity investment and equipment supply. At the
same time, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) provides a comprehensive framework
to support the enhancement of renewable energy in developing countries, from grant assistance for
feasibility study conducted by a private sector through the private sector investment finance
(hereinafter referred to as PSIF).
As described above, promoting small hydropower generation conforms to GOIs challenge and its
development policy. By utilizing the Japanese companies technology as well as JICAs PSIF, it is
possible to solve technical and financial problems, which have been the bottlenecks to promote small
hydro IPPs by the private sector. Therefore, this survey is designed to collect and verify related
information, and to coordinate needs and solutions of relevant parties.
1.2
1) Objectives
In order to promote private small hydropower projects, the survey aims to:
Examine the existing situation of small hydropower sector, the features and progress of the
projects, and the intention of Japanese companies and financial institutions on the sector; and

Both crash programs are experiencing significant delays, main reasons for which are delays in land
acquisition and various licensing/permission procedures. Projects in the 1st crash program were
mainly contracted with Chinese companies. However, many problems such as lack of cash for
construction have been reported. Moreover, there were many out of orders and insufficient rated
output of the power generation equipment even it was completed.
Furthermore, the 2014 new president, Mr. Jokowi, announced his ambitious plan to develop a 35.5
GW power plant over the next five years.

Small hydro-electric power takes the major share in renewable energy and its development is
expected.
According to the PLN, a total of 318 projects with less than 10 MW capacity as well as under FIT
scheme has been proposed to PLN in the entire Indonesia. Out of 318 projects, 49 projects are
currently in operation and 49 projects are under construction. About 220 projects are at present before
financial closure status.

In Table 2.1.5, the development capacity of mini hydropower until 2022 is 834 MW. On the other hand, the total
development capacity is 1,481 MW in Table 2.1.9, thus there is a discrepancy between the tables. Taking the present
application condition of FIT projects into consideration, Table 2.1.9 is deemed to be correct.

Renewable energy:
In addition, the electrification rate is targeted at 85% by 2015 and nearly 100% by 2020. Domestic
primary energy shall be used for domestic purposes as much as possible. As a related policy, the
National Energy Management Blueprint (BP-PEN) 2006-2025 was established and national targets
related to energy were set.
Based on the policy in KEN, in the electric power sector, the MEMR established the National Electric
Power General Plan (RUKN) and developed PLN, who is the only power supply company in
Indonesia. It also prepared the Electric Power Implementation Plan (RUPTL) and implemented the
power development plan. The RUPTL is formulated for a period of ten years, however, it is revised
every year. As a relevant economic policy, national development plans such as the National Long-term
Development Plan (RPJPN) are formulated every 20 years. Governed by the RPJPN, the National
Medium-term Development Plan (RPJMN) is formulated every five years. The latest RPJMN was
prepared in 2014.
As for the laws on energy and power, these are the: 1) Energy Law (2007), 2) Electric Power Law
(2009), 3) Decree on Save Energy (2009), and 4) Geothermal Power Law (2003). The Energy Law of
2007 covers management and usage of all energy resources such as 1) management of energy
resources by the government, 2) stable energy supply, 3) resources development promotion, 4)
formulation of national energy policy and energy plan, and 5) use of renewable energy. The new
power law is a revision of the old energy law in 1985. In the power law, the government is responsible
for power supply. However, aimed at the improvement of power supply, it is now possible for
state-owned companies other than PLN, public enterprises, private enterprises, cooperatives, and civic
groups to participate in the power generation business. RUKN and the revision of power tariff require
parliament approval. The Decree on Save Energy stipulates to oblige energy saving in large consumers
of energy. The Geothermal Power Law acknowledged the participation of private investors in
integrated development of geothermal projects including steam development, supply and power
generation for geothermal development promotion. The processes of getting permits and licenses in
each phase of geothermal energy development have become clear.

The RUPTL is a ten-year plan, but due to actual delays of the plan and changes in conditions, it is
updated every year. It is a power development plan prepared based on the present situation. The power
development plan is established to satisfy the electricity demand which is forecasted to consider future
economic and population growths. Construction of the transmission and distribution networks are
planned in order to harmonize with the power development plan. Further, the required construction
costs for these electric power development and fuel costs required for operation are estimated.

2) Negative List
The latest version of the Investment Negative List, which entered into effect on April 24, 2014,
clarifies the situation regarding foreign direct investment (FDI) in the mini-hydro sector. Under the
previous version of the list, such investment was stated as being 100% open to FDI subject to a
partnership arrangement with a local firm.
However, as it was unclear what precisely was meant by a partnership arrangement, thus this tended
to discourage foreign investors. By contrast, the regulation states that the small hydro sector is now
open to up to 49% FDI.
3) Issues on Process of Appraisal and Approval
The current issues on the process of appraisal and approval for small-hydro IPPs can be identified as
follows:
When a developer has an issue on debt financing, the developer recognizes that the duration
from the agreement of PPA to the financial closure is short.
When the viability of a project has an issue on revenue and power tariff, the schedule for the
feasibility study may be delayed.
A developer identified the need for PLN and MEMR to strengthen their coordination in
providing a clear direction for the application of the regulations such as PPA.

Due to this modification and clarification of the purchase prices and procedures, many have applied
for small hydro projects under FIT. In August 2014, the Government of Indonesia through MEMR
Regulation No. 22 of 2014 (Reg. 22/2014) revised the applicability of the FIT system to also cover
mini- hydro power projects utilizing multipurpose dams and/or irrigation channel water resources.
However, a lower FIT is applied for these projects.
Table 2.3.2 below summarizes the FIT currently applicable to small hydropower projects utilizing
existing structures. According to information source, there may be an ongoing review on the FIT price
by PLN as of the study period (February 2015). The review would examine the increase of tariff as
well as the currency for payment.

average price set out in the regulation, which is adjusted based on voltage and location. The new price
is fixed and must be directly set out in a PPA. It remains valid for the duration of PPA. The price
adjustment process must be completed within 90 working days of the designation of the project
sponsor as a hydropower producer. The adjusted price must also be approved by the Minister.
4) Hydro Power Plants of more than 10 MW
The power tariff from hydropower plants of more than 10 MW is stipulated in the MEMRs
Regulation (No.03/2015). The power tariff is charged at a maximum of US9.00/kWh for 10 MW to
50 MW, US8.50/kWh for 50 MW to 100 MW, and US8.00/kWh for more than 100 MW. The
purchase price is subject to the agreement between PLN and the developer.
Take-and-pay clauseThe impact on revenue has been identified in case the plants cannot sell
the scheduled energy due to the demand situation in the power grid.
The power tariff is low, hence, the developer cannot secure a financial return. (This tariff may
be being revised according to an information source.) PLN can consider a simple increase of
power tariff as well as a two-part tariff of the fixed payment based on the output capacity and
the energy production.
The feasibility study needs to deal with additional matters due to the request from the PLN
equipment related with the receiving purchased power since there is a need to confirm the
appropriateness of the current system.
PLN may be able to take a proactive action for a project whose PPA will expire.
PLN could consider the power tariff payment in other currency other than Indonesian rupiah.

In some cases SPCs have limited access to debt financing based on the credit record of SPC
and may be requested to submit a collateral by parent companies. Since the execution of PPA
may not be fulfilled by SPC alone, having a counterpart of the PPA may also be studied.
Some developers hope that PLN can strengthen its capacity for guiding the developers and
coordinating with the government offices.
In addition to the establishment of SPC (Special Purpose Company), the permissions and licenses

Investor
To cope with the rapid growth in power demand, public funding for electric power development is not
enough. Then, the Indonesian government has issued Presidential Decree No. 37/1992 in order to
expedite participation of private companies into the power business, namely as IPPs business.
Afterwards, due to the increase of IPPs in 2013, the power supply from the IPPs has reached 24%.
According to government policy, the maximum use of renewable energy including hydropower, FIT to
purchase fixed tariff for renewable energy was introduced in 2012. Further, in May 2014, MEMR
issued Decree No.12/2014 in revising the part about small hydropower and PLN is obliged to purchase
at the fixed prices from small hydro power plants of less than 10 MW. Introducing the FIT system
means enhancing participation of private investors by buying at advantageous prices. In addition, rural
electrification and replacement of diesel power plants will be accelerated.
On the other hand, Presidential Decree No. 39/2014 (so-called Negative List) has been issued in April
2014. The decree stipulated that the maximum capital participation of foreign companies to IPP
developer (SPC: Special Purpose Company) is at 49% in order to protect Indonesian investors and
enhance incentives. As exemption, SPCs established before April 2014 can keep the original capital
ratio.
Based on these backgrounds, Indonesian private investors have high motivation to participate in IPP
business in which FIT is applicable. According to PLN information, 318 IPP projects under FIT from
the entire Indonesia have been submitted for approval, and pre-feasibility study (Pre-FS) and
feasibility study (FS) reports have been filed. Out of the 318 projects, 49 projects are now in operation,
49 projects under construction, and 220 projects are under before financial closure status.
3.2
Financial Institutions
It was found that they have some experience of funding small hydropower project with difficulties on
examination of loan application. Therefore, the corporate finance is more common than the project
finance.
3.3
Considerable numbers of Indonesian contractors are participating in capital of SPCs for hydropower
IPPs, however, it is hard to judge from the name of the SPCs only. Detailed information about SPC
will be confirmed. State-owned construction company, PT. Wijaya Karya is active in the IPP business.
There are not so much IPP applicable FIT projects under operation or under construction, as the
contractors are joining as the Contractor as their main business.
Participation of foreign contractors to IPPs is only for large-scale hydropower IPP as the contractor.
Participation of Korean companies as the contractor is remarkable. On the other hand, foreign
contractor participation to IPP project under FIT is almost nil.

Final Report
Many developers planned to employ domestic civil construction contractors for the construction work.
A few of them have plans to use the Chinese contractor by mobilizing the debt from China. Some
developers undertake the design and engineering work on their own and outsource the construction
work only, while for developers who do not have a construction team, a leasing company for
construction equipment will construct the plant on its own using their own equipment and staff. Thus,
the mode of the construction varied depending on the resources and situation of the developers.
3.4
Equipment Suppliers/Manufacturer
Equipment manufacturers/suppliers are participating as the contractors to IPP as per normal activity.
Gates and penstock can be produced by domestic companies. Both domestic and foreign companies
can design, manufacture, and install gate facilities. On the other hand, turbines, generators, and related
equipment should be relied on foreign companies and design and manufacturing shall be by a foreign
company except for some minor portions.

considered.
For the technical aspect, i) annual rainfall, ii) design discharge, iii) waterway length, iv) capacity and
power generation, v) unit cost of construction and electricity, and vi) transmission line have been
examined. In addition, detailed examination was carried out for potential projects. With regard to the
organization and financial aspect, i) organizational capacity, ii) financial capacity, iii) status of project
preparation, and iv) investment scale have been examined referring to the results of individual
interviews in addition to the general review. For the environmental aspect, all projects must have
already passed their initial environmental examination and it is assumed that there is no serious
environmental problem. Therefore, related information such as UKL/UPL and FS was reviewed and
environmental issues of the projects were examined.

on events such as force majeure. Finally, the situation where the project SPC runs into financial
difficulty should be examined, and the loan-providing banks should consider execution of collateral
for recovery of the loan. This issue is not for the developers and therefore, it is extremely important for
the banks to carefully examine their own resources.
z
According to Article 19 of the PPA template, which is under review by PLN, the termination of
the PPA occurs if the project SPC (referred to as SELLER in the PPA) runs into bankruptcy or
other similar situation. If the termination of the PPA occurs, the termination of purchasing
obligations of PLN under the FIT system occurs accordingly. It is an extremely serious situation
for the bank because the small hydropower IPP facilities become practically of zero value without
the FIT system.
ARTICLE 19 AGREEMENT TERMINATION
1. Each of the following events is the SELLERs failure which may result in this AGREEMENT
TERMINATION:
a. (omitted)
b. (omitted)
c. the occurrence of the following events: (i) the passing of judgment on bankruptcy, financial
inability, liquidation process, or liquidation or other similar events related to the SELLER; (ii)
appointment of trustee, liquidator, custodian, temporary officer to implement the process set
forth in point (i), where such appointment is not revoked or survives for more than 60 (sixty)
CALENDAR DAYS, or (iii) court order to execute liquidation process, or confirm bankruptcy
or financial inability, where such order is not revoked or survives for more than 60 (sixty)
CALENDAR DAYS.
On the other hand, special consideration, as stipulated under Article 18 of the PPA, is made for
the lender of the loan in financing the construction of small hydropower IPP facilities.
ARTICLE 18 ASSIGNMENT OF AGREEMENT
1. (omitted)
2. (omitted)
3. If in the performance hereof, the SELLER assigns and delegates part or all of its rights and
obligations to any OTHER PARTY without the BUYERs prior written approval, the BUYER
may unilaterally terminate this AGREEMENT, save such assignment and delegation are
obliged by the lender in connection with POWER PLANT construction financing.
(underlined by the JICA study team)
One of the simple interpretations of these articles in a manner, which are rather favorable for the banks
is that the project SPC under financial difficulty should sell its project assets to a third party by
following the order of the bank in accordance with Article 18 before it goes into real bankruptcy as
stipulated in Article 19. Then, it is possible that the assignment of the PPA will be made after the sales
of the project assets, and the purchasing obligation of the PLN continues under the FIT system in
accordance with the PPA. Another interpretation may be that Article 18 applies only when the project
SPC were to assign the PPA to a third party and does not apply when 100% of the shares of the project
SPC were to be sold to the third party without changing any legal status of the project SPC under the
PPA. On the contrary, such an interpretation may be opposed by PLN because the share sales of the
28
Nippon Koei
KRI International
JICA Survey for Enhancement of Private Sector Investment on Small Hydro IPP Projects in Indonesia
Final Report
project SPC may practically have the same impact of the assignment of the PPA. Obviously, these are
the issues that should be consulted with Indonesian lawyers, but what is important is that the
loan-providing banks should secure the legal status where the value of the project assets would not be
seriously deteriorated.
4) Sponsor Risks of the Developers
It should be examined if the developers have the necessary engineering capacity and operational
organization to carry out a small hydropower IPP project. It is often the case where the developer
becomes the operator of the IPP facility. The developers experience on hydropower operation should
also be examined. Furthermore, the financial capacity of the developers should be confirmed in order
to pay down the equity contribution of the project SPC, but the risk will be mitigated if the
disbursement of the loan occurs only after the equity is fully paid.
Other procedures and items to be confirmed are described below.
5)
Legal Risks for Real Estate-related Contract, Water Utilization and Other Licenses
Including Those by the Local Government
A stable business environment is indispensable for the project to generate the revenues estimated in
the cash flow projection. For this purpose, it should be confirmed during the appraisal process that the
legal status have been clarified such as land and water utilization rights and other authorization or
licenses, including those from the local government. Sometimes in developing countries, these legal
issues are not as rigid as in developed countries. In such a case, it may be realistic to accept the normal
banking practice in the local market.
5.2
In consideration of the financing structure for small hydropower projects, the transaction costs such as
for FS, due diligence, and legal fees for loan documents, including the collateral agreements are the
most important issues from a practical banking point of view. In a typical type of project financed by
investment banks in the private sector with loan amount of US$100 million, for example, it is
anticipated that the FS and other transaction costs are approximately 2%-3% of the total loan amount,
which is approximately US$2-3 million. The transaction costs should cover all the necessary credit
risk analysis as discussed in the previous section of this report.
On the other hand, it should be strongly mentioned that the issues to be covered does not change in the
credit appraisal process of the project financing. For example, a project financing of US$10 million
29
Nippon Koei
KRI International
JICA Survey for Enhancement of Private Sector Investment on Small Hydro IPP Projects in Indonesia
Final Report
requires almost the same degree of rigor in the credit appraisal process as that of US$100 million, and
therefore, the FS and other transaction costs should be almost the same amount. Approximately
US$2-3 million of the transaction costs represent 2%-3% in the project financing of US$100 million,
but they represent 20%-30% of the US$10 million, which seriously deteriorates the profitability of the
project. For small hydropower IPP projects regulated under 10 MW in Indonesia, the maximum initial
investment should be limited below Rp300 billion, which is calculated by applying the benchmark of
Rp30 billion/MW, as discussed in the previous section. Therefore, the project financing loan amount
would be approximately Rp150-210 billion, which correspond to 50%-70% of the initial investment of
Rp300 billion. In such small-scale project financing, it is important to secure the sufficient FS and
other transaction costs.
One of the solutions to the transaction cost issue is provided by JICA through the public offering
initiative in the public-private partnership (PPP) infrastructure preparatory study, which supports up to
JPY 150 million for FS to potential developers of various infrastructure projects. Some may claim that
the support of JPY 150 million does not fully cover the necessary costs, but it certainly help the
developers burden for FS and other transaction costs. Another approach may be considered by
combining a few small hydropower projects to arrange a medium-scale project financing loan. In the
next section, some financing structures will be studied for this purpose based on various efforts by the
financial institutions in the Indonesian financial market.

There are some technical issues on this scheme such as limited timing for application because
renewable energy funds are often raised in closed form, in which investors can submit application only
within an application period.
2) Financing Structure for Bank Loan
The two-step loan scheme is recommended in order to encourage these Indonesian banks to work on
project financing. As a pre-condition, it should be mentioned that the target project for lending is small

As for the credit appraisal process, all the credit issues in the project financing approach should be
covered in an appropriate manner, but adequate segregation of roles should be discussed between
JICA and intermediary banks in order to avoid overlapping roles, which may cause increasing the FS
and other transaction costs. As mentioned in Section 6.1, the main risks are as follows:
Construction risks for small hydropower IPP facilities
Drought, flood, and discharge risks
Risks related to the PPA to be signed with PLN
Sponsor risks of the developers
[Issues, which JICA takes main role]
Among other credit risks, it is recommended for JICA to be mainly responsible for (3) Risks related
to the PPA to be signed with PLN because the template form of the PPA has been already publicly
announced by PLN and it covers all the future small hydropower IPP projects in a comprehensive
manner. If there is any serious credit issue, which may be identified in this phase, there is no need to
go further in the credit appraisal process, including the engineering appraisal mostly conducted by the
intermediary banks.
In general, the credit appraisal process should not be conducted only by analyzing the contract, but it
should be based on the specific project file in order to avoid idealistic arguments. However, a small
hydropower IPP project is an exceptional case because the sales risk of the project SPC is mostly
mitigated by the FIT system as defined in the PPA, and therefore the assumptions for the cash flow
projections are foreseeable. Moreover, there are some files, which are already reviewed by the PPP
infrastructure preparatory study and it is relatively easily anticipate the specific features of the project.
In this context, it is recommended to conduct credit analysis based only on the PPA in exceptional
cases.

Final Report
The issue of (4-2) Japanese sponsor risks is also recommended for JICA to take a main role for
tackling the issue because most of such risks are often related to Japanese companies.
[Issues, which the intermediary banks take main role with JICAs support]
Among other risks, it is recommended that (1) Construction risks for small hydro IPP facilities and
(2) Drought, flood and discharge risks should be taken by the local intermediary banks because
these are mostly related to engineering issues, which are reflected by the topographical conditions of
each project site. It is practical to assume that the engineering works should be done by the consultants
who know the local conditions and the intermediary banks confirm the validity. The overall procedure
should be reconfirmed by JICA, which may also provide various advice if needed. As a conclusion, it
is expected that all the credit issues should be covered without duplication. The other issue of (4-1)
Indonesia sponsor risks is also recommended for JICA to take a main role for tackling such issue
because most of these risks are often related to Japanese companies.
With regard to the proposed credit guidelines for intermediary banks, it is recommended to include the
following items.
(1) The involvement by Japanese company to the project SPC with XX% or more equity contribution,
or other commitment to the management, which is explicitly confirmed such as secondment of
board member, who is based in Indonesia if possible.
(2) The intermediary bank receives JICAs capacity development program in the similar manner as
AFDs two-step loan.
(3) The necessary measures have been taken to mitigate the construction risks, such as completion
guarantee by a stakeholder who has strong financial bases, action plan is prepared for capital
increase in case of cost-over-run, favorable opinion from engineering review by a reputable
consulting firm and so on.
(4) Other issues raised at the appraisal process of the PPA related risks.
The proposed credit guideline is more focused on the engineering issues because it is assumed that
JICA goes through the appraisal process of the PPA related before entering into the detailed
negotiation with the intermediary bank. (1) is to confirm the Japanese involvement for PISF program
of JICA. On the other hand, the final decision should be made by its own discretion without too much
influenced by the credit guideline because the intermediary bank fully takes the credit risk under the
two-step loan scheme. But, the capacity building program should be provided if the intermediary bank
does not have sufficient experience in project financing.
5.4
A single developer that is considering to conduct several small hydropower IPP projects in the same
river basin may be referred to the same technical data for (2) Drought, flood and discharge risks,
which may contribute to the reduction of the FS cost. It may be applied for both direct loan structure
under JICA-PSIF as well as two-step loan via local intermediary banks.

However, it is advised to be identical for the developer because a holding company should be
established for bundling the SPC of each project. The holding company will be the borrower of the
JICA loan and the repayment sources will be served from the total cash flow of each project, and
therefore it may be considered as if each SPC cross guarantees the holding companys loan. If the
equity contributors are different among the projects, it will be difficult to provide the cross guarantee
among the project SPCs.

Based on the survey results, the preliminary action plan considering the permissions/approvals
procedure for small hydropower development in Indonesia, timing for project participation by
Japanese companies, and procedures for JICA-PSIF was examined. Even though the actual
development schedule seems to be different due to past revisions of regulations and individual
situations of the various projects, a typical schedule for small hydropower development is shown in
Figure 7.1.1 below. The development is divided into five stages, from project identification to project
commissioning, as illustrated in the figure.

In this stage, project identification, establishment of special purpose company (SPC), acquisition of

acquisition of necessary permissions (IMB, HO, SIPTPP, SIPPA) shall be carried out. In case that a
Japanese company prefers to participate in greenfield projects, it is expected that the Japanese
company joins to carry out the pre-FS and then continue to develop the project together. In addition, it
is realistic that the local developer takes care of land acquisition and acquisition of the
abovementioned permissions.

Final Report
Proposal stage
The SPC submits the pre-FS, UPL/UKL, and other necessary documents to EBTKE (New/Renewable
Energy Department, Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources), and HPO (Hydropower Operator
Approval) is issued to the SPC through technical verification by PLN, and then the SPC shall be
approved as the hydropower operator. For effective scheduling, depending on the reliability of the
pre-FS, the feasibility study (FS) shall be carried out in parallel with the activities in the development
stage. In case a Japanese company prefers to participate in brownfield projects, it is expected that the
Japanese company joins to carry out the FS and then continue to develop the project together.
PPA stage
After the HPO is issued, the SPC shall pay the deposit (equivalent to 5% of the total investment
amount) to EBTKE, and then the IUPTLS, which is a temporary power supply business license, is
issued to the SPC. In general, the FS is finished in this stage. In case that a Japanese company prefers
to participate in brownfield projects, the Japanese company as investor should decide up to this stage.
In the FS, the specifications and cost of equipment shall be almost fixed, therefore, project
participation as equipment supplier should also be promised up to this stage.
In the FS, the following issues should be carefully examined:
;
Financing stage
After the PPA is concluded, debt financing becomes possible. At this moment, corporate financing by
local banks seems to be common in Indonesia. In case of application of JICA-PSIF, it may take time to
examine the loan application. Therefore, earlier related actions including investment to the SPC by a
Japanese company are preferable in parallel with the activities in the PPA stage and immediately after
confirmation of almost all FS results. It is noted that the timing of acquisition of IUPLT is not critical
in the schedule.
Implementation stage
After the financing of the project is finished, the construction shall be started through bidding of
contractors. The financing may take time in general. Therefore, the detailed design and preparation of
bidding documents better to be carried out in terms of effective schedule. In case that the contractor is
a local Indonesian company, the selection of capable contractors and establishment of quality control
system is important. Moreover, it is necessary to examine schemes preventing troubles during
construction and delays such as the bidding conditions fixing the construction method and equipment.
