How diverse is Indonesia’s response to an early retirement of coal-fired power plants? How diverse is such response when its impact on vulnerable groups is considered? How may subnational governments pay for their assigned responsibilities for energy transition?

The Center for Climate and Sustainable Finance (CCSF) of the Institute for Sustainable Earth and Resources at the University of Indonesia in cooperation with The Ministry of Home Affairs’ Directorate General of Regional Development (Direktorat Jenderal Bina Pembangunan Daerah) seek to understand  “response diversity” of a just energy transition in Indonesia, that is, how diverse the response to a swift and critical policy change as shown by the case of possible early retirement of coal-fired power plant as Indonesia transitions to a low carbon economy and development. For those that depend on coal resources and coal-fired power plants in terms of employment, household income, economy, and public finance, such as for workers and sub-national jurisdictions, among others, this transformation may pose risks as well as opportunities. Funded by The Ford Foundation, this project also aims to assess responsibility assignments from the national government to sub-national governments on energy and mineral resources responsibilities, and how these assignments can be financed to support renewable energy (Presidential Decree Number 2/2023).
