Background and Objectives of the Survey

Background of the Survey

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

Framework
2.1

Power Supply and Demand, Development of Power Generation Facilities


and Hydropower Potential

2.1.1 Electric Power Supply and Demand


Indonesia's recent economic growth has exceeded an annual average of 6%. Due to the high economic
growth, demand for power shows an increase of 8%. Due to land acquisition issues and other matters,
the power development plan is delayed and the power demand and supply condition has become very
tight. In North Sumatra, some rolling blackouts are carried out and will potentially hinder economic
development. Rapid realization of electric power development is therefore desirable.
The installed capacity, power generation, and power source in 2013 are presented below.
1) Installed Capacity (MW)
Overall, power generation is highly reliant on coal-fired steam power. IPP capacity is only one-fourth
against the entire Indonesia. Percentage of renewable energy sources such as small hydro, solar, and
wind is still small. As a notable point, capacity from diesel (mainly rental) covered a large portion
outside of Java-Bali; it is thus obvious that rural power is covered by diesel. Ongoing small
hydropower IPP development is expected to replace these diesel power sources. Capacity per capita
was 0.2 kW/person in year 2013. Compared with 2.2 kW/person in Japan, this capacity is still at a low
level.
2) Power Generation (GWh)
Amounts of generated power are the same as the installed capacity. Power generation is mainly
dependent on thermal coal. The high ratio of diesel outside of Java-Bali is indicated and the combined
cycle ratio is relatively high in Java-Bali.
3) Capacity Factor and Load Factor
Peak load exceeds the installed capacity outside of Java-Bali. Figures shown above do not include one
of IPP, lack of peak load covered from IPP, and rolling blackouts in the region. Throughout Indonesia,
the power supply and demand conditions are toughest, and the delay in power development will likely
cause a stumbling block for continuous economic growth.

2.1.2 Development of Power Generation Facilities


Development of electric power in Indonesia is carried out under the National Electric Power General
Plan (RUKN) and the Electric Power Implementation Plan (RUPTL) to develop power generation
facilities associated with economic development to cope with the power supply. The situation of the
development (increase of installed capacity) for the year of 2005-2013 is as follows:
Table 2.1.4 Increase in Installed Capacity (PLN only, MW)

(Source: PLN Statistics 2013)

In the nine years from 2005 to 2013, the installed capacity of 11,690 MW has increased. On the other
hand, RUPTL 2013, which involves the construction of power plants of 59,518 MW including IPP is
planned in the ten years up to 2022. It means 6,000 MW capacity power plants every year shall be
constructed. In the plan, 836 MW of small hydropower is to be developed.

The Indonesian government will supply the rapid increase in power demand and to reduce its
dependence on oil. As part of the urgent power development plan, two crash programs were
formulated and implemented. The outline of the crash programs is as follows:

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.

Overview of Policies and Institutions of the Indonesian Government

2.2.1 Policy and Institutions on Electric Power Development


Indonesia's energy policy is established by the National Energy Policy (KEN), with the National
Energy Total Plan (RUEN) as a base. Under these policies, the National Electric Power General Plan
(RUKN) and Electric Power Implementation Plan (RUPTL) are prepared as implementation plans.
The National Energy Policy (KEN) was revised in January 2014 and the target values for each electric
power energy resource are set as follows:
-

Oil:
Natural gas:
Coal:
Renewable energy:

less than 25% by 2015 and less than 20% by 2050.


more than 22% by 2025 and more than 24% by 2050.
less than 30% by 2025 and less than 25% by 2050.
more than 23% by 2025 and more than 31% by 2050.

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.

2.2.2 Electric Power Development System


As the administrative organization for the electricity sector, the formulation of the overall policy for
the development and use of energy is done by the National Energy Board (DEN). The Ministry of
National Planning and Development (BAPPENAS) manages the national project development policy
and coordination. The Department of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR) is the administrative
organization for the entire energy sector including the power sector. The PLN and state-owned
enterprises are under the control of the Ministry of State-Owned Enterprise (MSOE), while the
Ministry of Finance (MOF) manages the budget.
The MEMR is the supervisory institution for the energy sector and performing management and
regulation of state-owned energy companies in addition to policy planning. The Directorate of
Electricity in MEMR acts as the electric power administrator of the electricity sector and plays the role
of regulation and supervision, including coordination of the formulation of policy, procedures, and
standards. It is responsible for the formulation of the National Electric Power General Plan (RUKN).
In 2010, MEMR has organized the Directorate of New and Renewable Energy and Save Energy
(DGNREEC) for the development of renewable energy. The geothermal section of the Directorate of
Minerals, Coal and Geothermal, and renewable section of the Directorate of Electricity were
integrated into the DGNREEC. In the power generation business in Indonesia, PT. PLN (the national
electric power company) and its subsidiary companies and IPPs are carrying out power generation. For
transmission and distribution of electricity, PLN has monopoly.
The Java-Bali system has larger scale power generation and supply. Power generation is being
undertaken by PLN, its subsidiary companies such as Indonesia Power (IP), Pumbankit Jawa Bali
(PJB), and IPPs. Transmission and distribution of the Java-Bali system are managed by the power
transmission and distribution center (P3B Jawa Bali) and five distribution offices. In Sumatra, two
units are doing power generation. As for transmission and distribution, the Sumatra power
transmission and distribution center (P3B Sumatra) and seven regional offices are doing these tasks. In
other areas, the regional branch offices are carrying out integrated operation of power generation,
transmission, and distribution.

2.2.3 Power Development Plan


Based on the national energy policy, the MEMR established RUKN and consequently, the RUPTL is
prepared and power development is carried out by PLN.
The RUKN describes major development policies as shown below.
Power supply planning policy

Support MP3EI (2011-2025 in the Indonesian accelerated and enlarged economic


development master plan);

Avoidance of lack of power supply;

Sufficient energy reserves;

Development of peak load power plants by gas, pumped storage power plant; and

Competitive electricity tariff structure.

Diversification of power source

Enhancement in the use of new and renewable energy;

Establishment of sustainable power supply system for various energy power sources; and

Support of gas supply for gas power generation and storage of coal for coal-fired power
generation as a reduction measure for oil-dependency of fuel.

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.

2.2.4 Electricity Tariff


Indonesia's electricity tariff has been kept low by government subsidies. However, in order to mitigate
the financial burden of the government, an increase in electricity tariff and the reduction of subsidies
was approved by the Parliament in 2013. The increase in electricity tariff is done gradually. The power
cost deficit, which cannot cover PLNs income from electricity sales, is made up by government
subsidies. Government subsidies are calculated by the Ministry of Finance. By these subsidies,
electricity tariff has been kept to a low and stable level without the effect of fuel costs. Government
subsidies were Rp3-4 trillion in the early 2000s. After then, due to the rise in oil prices, the power
generation fuel price has also increased. Finally, government subsidies were increased at Rp101
trillion in 2013. In 2013, although the average generation cost was at Rp1,207/kWh, the average sold
electric price is Rp818.4/kWh.
Electrical tariff was increased by about 15% in October 2013. In addition, electricity tariffs for
industrial use (large-demand customer) were changed from May 01, 2013. Tariff for the customer in
contract capacity of more than 200 kVA is increased by 38.9% but this was implemented at 8.6%
every two months. For the size of the contract of more than 30,000 kVA, tariff increase is 64.7%, but
was implemented at 13.3% every two months. In November 2014, another price increase was
conducted.
The revised tariffs are as follows:

2.2.5 Budget and Financial Sources


Budget for electric power business basically depends on the PLN as national executing agency and
IPP as private investor. Income of PLN is composed of electricity sales and government subsidy, and
expenditure is composed of the purchase cost of electricity from IPP, fuel costs, maintenance costs,
labor costs, and depreciation cost. The selling electricity tariffs are decided by the MEMR and should
obtain the approval of the Parliament.
IPP investors invest construction and operating costs and return by selling price to PLN. To cope with
the rapid growth of electricity demand, the construction costs of the power plants, transmission lines,
and distribution grids are covered by official fund as bilateral multilateral aid funds through the
Indonesian government as official development assistance (ODA), funds of the Government of
Indonesia and PLNs own funds. However, because of lack of official funds, the use of private funds
as IPP development such as export credit prepared by the contractor/supplier and finance from banks
has increased.
Government subsidies are compensating the deficit amount not covered by the income from the selling
costs in PLN electricity fee. Subsidy amount is calculated based on a decree of the Ministry of Finance.
If the electricity sales price is lower than the generation cost in each category, PLN can receive the
difference in amount as subsidy. The stable electric tariffs are being realized by this system without
relation to the fluctuation of fuel cost. However, progressively revising the electrical tariff to mitigate
the financial burden is aimed at reducing subsidies. Subsidy amount from 2008 to 2013 is as shown
below.

2.2.6 Enhancement of Private Investment and Development


As described above, there is the limitation of official funds to cover construction of power plants in
order to cope with the rapid growth in electricity demand. Investment and development through
private funds in the power sector is being enhanced. In 2013, about 24% of electric power was
supplied from IPPs. In the 2nd crash program currently in progress, out of all 79 projects having
capacity of 17,918 MW, 59 projects with 12,169 MW are IPP projects. Also, of the 35 GW planned
construction scheduled for completion by 2019, about 25.3 GW are from IPP projects.
In order to enhance the development of small hydro power plants with less than 10 MW by private
investors, the Indonesian government provided the FIT system and set the sold electricity price
somewhat higher. Due to the requested large amount of equity and fund for small hydro power plant
IPPs, numerous private investors showed interest and submit IPP proposals to PLN. On the other hand,
for medium and large power projects more than 10 MW, MEMR indicated standard purchase prices
from IPP in the ministry decree for enhancement of private investment. In addition, due to complaints
from investors on the complicated and needed number of steps to get permits and licenses, the
Government of Indonesia opened and launched a one-window process system named as Pelayanan
Terpadu Satu Pintu (PTSP) PUSAT in the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) in January 2015.
Its purpose is to mitigate and speed up the process of investment. As shown in Figure 2.2.1,
application and acquisition of various permissions and licenses such as Izin Lokasi (permission of land
acquisition) by local government, IUPTL (electricity business license) by MEMR, PPA (power
purchace agreement) by PLN are to be done at BKPM.
The Government of Indonesia has put in place several incentive policy programs in order to promote
renewable energy development, which include the followings:

Income TaxDevelopers can obtain 5% reduction in the income tax rate of its investment each
year for a period of six years.

Current Status of Development Policy for Promotion of Private Sector


Participation on Small Hydropower Business

2.3.1 Regulation of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources


1) Procedures for Small Hydropower Development
Indonesia is currently promoting private sector investment for small hydropower development through
the FIT system. The legal basis for this policy is the Regulation of the Minister of Energy and
Mineral Resources of Indonesia Number 12 of 2014. (May 2, 2014)
Private companies that apply for generation business through the FIT system need to submit the
following documents with their application prior to the business commencement. These include:
a. Overview of the company;
b. License documents based on laws and regulations from the government and local government;
c. Result of pre-FS study confirmed by PLN;
d. Expected total investment amount;
e. Construction schedule until CoD (Commercial Operation date);
f. Documents showing that land is available for the project;
g. Confirmation letter to make a deposit of 5% of the total investment amount within 30 business
days after the decision for the business owner;
h. Document confirming the implementation of PPA issued by PLN; and
i. Confirmation letter that accepts the above conditions.
The project will follow the appraisal and approval processes based on these documents. This process
aimed to sort out the troubled projects and promote moving projects. The procedure for the
development process is presented in the following Figure 2.3.1:

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.

2.3.2 PPA and Power Tariff


In 2012, the MEMR issued Ministry Decree No.4/2012 and fixed the purchase price of renewable
energy, which is aimed to enhance the development of renewable energy. Further, in 2014, a revision
on the portions of small hydropower was made through Ministry Decree No.12/2014, and PLN has to
purchase power at a fixed price from small-scale IPP having less than 10 MW.
The fixed purchase price is Rp1,075/kWh for the first eight years and Rp750/kWh for the succeeding
period up to 20 years. These fixed prices shall be multiplied by the regional coefficient. The fixed
purchase prices are as shown as below.

Final Report

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.

The salient features of the power tariff can be described as follows:


1) No Escalation
The FIT regulation explicitly states that the prescribed FITs, as set out above, are not subject to any
escalation. The existence of this provision will prohibit parties to agree on any tariff
escalation/indexation in the PPA. Consistent with this restriction, the standard PPA as published by
PLN does not provide for any escalation mechanism.
2) Transmission Responsibility
The FIT price needs to include the costs of procuring the transmission lines connecting the plant to the
PLN grid. Accordingly, hydro plants that are located close to an adjacent grid will be at a significant
cost advantage. On the other hand, if the transmission line is long, a project has more exposure to land
acquisition risks and will be less competitive.
3) Transitional Arrangement
Prices agreed for power supplied by small hydro plants prior to the coming into effect of the regulation
will continue to be governed by MEMRs Regulation No. 04/2012. However, prices may be adjusted
upwards (except in the case of a plant that has reached the commissioning stage) provided the project
sponsor first secures a designation by the directorate as hydropower producer. Such adjustment will be
based on an agreement between PLN and the project sponsor, but may not be higher than the weighted
20

Nippon Koei
KRI International

JICA Survey for Enhancement of Private Sector Investment on Small Hydro IPP Projects in Indonesia
Final Report

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.

2.3.3 Revision of PPA


PLN is currently revising the template of the PPA. The contents appear to be slightly modified
compared with the previous version. Out of the 315 projects that submitted their application,
approximately half of them have already signed the PPA. The major points can be identified and
reviewed as follows:
1) Termination of Agreement
The clause stipulates the conditions for contract termination. It raises the event when the buyer (PLN)
fails to make payment for three months. On the other hand, the penalty payment for PPA termination
is not mentioned. The event can be covered by the Civil Law of Indonesia (Clause No.1243), which
stipulates the claim for damages due to non-fulfillment of obligation.
2) Supplemental Document
The PPA requires a certificate of cash deposit of 30% of the paid-in owned capital. This condition
would raise the hurdle for developers, and the developers may wish to discuss the condition.
3) Issues associated with PPA
The issues identified by the developers and financial institutions can be summarized as follows:

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.

The capacity of the transmission line may be insufficient to accommodate evacuation of


generated power by a small hydropower plant due to the location of the plant and sub-station.
This can be examined by PLN.

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.

Chapter 3 Parties Concerned with Small Hydro IPP Projects


3.1

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

Construction Equipment Manufacturer

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.
23

Nippon Koei
KRI International

JICA Survey for Enhancement of Private Sector Investment on Small Hydro IPP Projects in Indonesia
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.

Chapter 4 Selection and Identification of Small Hydropower


Projects to be Promoted
4.1

General

The issues for selection and identification of potential projects are: i) technical aspect, ii) organization
and financial aspect, and iii) environmental aspect. In addition, the possibility of project bundling is
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.

5.1

Financing Structure for JICA-PSIF

Credit Overview for Small Hydropower Independent Power Producers


(IPPs) in Indonesia

1) Construction Risks for Small Hydropower Facilities of IPPs


The risk, which may have the most significant impact to the profitability of project, is the initial
capital expenditure (CAPEX) for the construction of the IPP facilities because the revenue side of the
cash flow is practically assured under the FIT system. It should be confirmed during the appraisal
process that insufficient feasibility study (FS) may cause serious problems such as cost overrun of the
construction. In general, the construction consists of three parts: i) steel works such as gate and
penstock, ii) mechanical works such as turbine and generators, and iii) civil works such as
construction of waterway, etc. The cost estimation of steel works and mechanical works can be
regarded at a somehow reliable level. However, careful examination is needed for the civil works
because it changes largely by reflecting the land and other geographical conditions of each project.
There are some helpful selection criteria that were used in this report for establishing the list of
potential IPP projects. A pre-screening is conducted by using obvious and easily-obtainable data, such
as the length of waterway, penstock, and electricity transmission line to the transaction point of PLN,
in order to confirm the basic geographical conditions. After the pre-screening, it should be confirmed
that the estimated costs are below the benchmark cost of Rp30 billion from a reputable constructer.
Moreover, the construction risks will be further mitigated if a guarantee is provided for completion of
the construction, but it is subject to negotiations with the developer.
2) Drought, Flood and Discharge Risks
In order to ensure the revenue in the cash flow projection, it is important to take into account drought,
flood, and other discharge risks in small hydropower IPP projects. Sometimes, sufficient discharge
data may not be available in small rivers for small hydropower IPPs, and practical treatment should be
made on a case-by-case basis by referring to similar projects. Engineering analysis with regard to the
discharge risks is important, but it is also worth considering a financial solution such as increasing the
provision for the Debt Service Reserve Account in order to cover the drought risk for one or two
years.
3) Risks Related to PPA to be Signed with PLN
PLN is currently working on updating its template form of the PPA. The contracting conditions in the
PPA templates will apply to most of future small hydropower IPP projects, and therefore the risk
analysis for the PPA provides a global and comprehensive approach to the projects. First, before
entering into the details of the PPA, the credit risk assessment of PLN should be conducted such as
whether it has financial capacity to properly deliver the purchase obligation as stipulated in the PPA.
According to its financial statement, PLN largely depends on government subsidy and other financial
support. However, this report does not elaborate on this issue anymore because PLN maintains a credit
rating of investment grade of BBB-, which is as good as the sovereign rating of Indonesia by the
global credit agencies such as Moodys and Fitch. The next step is to examine the details of the PPAs
contracting conditions and the procedures for daily operation, which were discussed in Chapter 2 of
this report. Because there are concerns for most of the developers, it may be possible to rely on the
analysis if it is conducted by experienced developers. It also includes clauses on insurance as well as
27

Nippon Koei
KRI International

JICA Survey for Enhancement of Private Sector Investment on Small Hydro IPP Projects in Indonesia
Final Report

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.

6) Environmental and Social Risks


It should be confirmed that no serious issues exist with respect to the environmental or resettlement
action plan.
7) Ability to Properly Respond to an Accident or Natural Disaster
It should be confirmed that the action plans or manuals are/will be prepared for unexpected accidents
and natural disasters as well as the insurances. In practice, it may be reasonably assumed that the
experienced developers have sufficient capacity with regard to these issues.

5.2

Issues in the FS and the Transaction Costs for Small-scale Projects

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.

5.3

Financing Structure for Several Small Hydropower IPP Projects

1) Financing Structure for Equity Investment


Firstly, it is worth considering an investment to a fund, in which IFC and other governmental
development assistance agencies participate in the same status as private sector investors.

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.

A single developer that is considering to conduct several small hydropower IPP projects in the same

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.

Preliminary Action Plan

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
principle permission, pre-feasibility study (pre-FS), approval of UPL/UKL, land acquisition and
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.

Nippon Koei
KRI International

JICA Survey for Enhancement of Private Sector Investment on Small Hydro IPP Projects in Indonesia
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:
;

Available discharge for power generation


The estimation of available discharge for power generation is one of the most important issues in
hydropower planning. In case of overestimation, the required power generation capacity and
energy may not be available, and therefore the project would become not feasible.

Function and stability of structures


Fulfillment of the required functions of each structure should be carefully confirmed. In case of
insufficient or over design, appropriate modifications are necessary. In order to ensure long-term
safety operation, treatment of weak geology, protection of high-excavated slopes, and crossing
structures of waterways are 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.
