January 2022
INDONESIA TO CONSIDER PPP SCHEME FOR NEW BATAM PORT
Indonesia will consider using private capital to finance a new port development on Batam island, 30km south of Singapore.
The Ministry of Transport is completing a study to determine the location of the Batam New International Port Tanjung Pinggir. It is also set to finalize a feasibility study for the project in 2022 and will subsequently decide on whether to use a public-private partnership (PPP).
A decision on the possible method to finance an upgrade of the existing Batu Ampar Port in Batam will be taken simultaneously, as both facilities will be complementary, adding that a PPP scheme will also be considered for the expansion.
The Tanjung Pinggir port is set to become an international logistics hub. Batu Ampar's annual capacity of 520,000 twenty-foot equivalent units is not sufficient to accommodate the projected increase in container traffic.
INDONESIA DEVELOPER PARTNERS SOJITZ FOR RENEWABLES IN WEST JAVA
Indonesian solar power developer SUN Energy and a unit of Japan's Sojitz Corporation have signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly develop renewable energy projects at an industrial estate in West Java.
The potential reduction in carbon emissions in the industrial area could reach 83 million tonnes. The Greenland International Industrial Center, which covers 1,500ha in the
Kota Deltamas area in Bekasi Regency, was developed by Sojitz's local arm and Indonesian property major Sinar Mas Land. It houses about 130 companies as well as data centres.
INDONESIA TO LAUNCH HOUSING PPP TENDER THIS YEAR
Indonesia plans to launch a Java island housing PPP tender before the end of 2022.
The final business case for the Bina Harapan Cisaranten social housing project is set to be completed in November 2022. Its final cost will be determined once the study is completed.
The development was valued at USD 73.5 Mn in the country’s annual list of PPP projects for 2021. The concessionaire will build eleven towers with approximately 2,700 units of affordable housing in a 5ha site in the city of Bandung.
The project will include availability payments for the investor and allow partial commercial exploitation of the site.
INDONESIA REVIEWING PPP OPTIONS FOR NORTHERN BALI AIRPORT
Indonesia’s Ministry of Transportation has not decided yet whether to use the solicited or unsolicited public-private partnership (PPP) route to develop a new airport in the northern part of Bali island.
The government has received a proposal by project company Bandara Internasional Bali Utara (BIBU) which it will review. If BIBU’s proposal is accepted, the Indonesian government will hold a Swiss Challenge to allow other investors to participate. Authorities are yet to decide on a suitable location for the proposed aerodrome.
BIBU submitted a feasibility study for the project in January 2022. The cost is estimated at IDR 50 Trn (USD 3.4 Bn).
INDONESIAN CONSORTIUM REVIEWING FINANCING OPTIONS FOR 206KM ROAD PPP
A consortium led by Indonesia state-owned Jasa Marga is considering options to finance the construction of a 206.5km toll road, including raising project debt or asking subcontractors to assume the initial expenses.
The financing will be linked to the construction of the IDR 56 Trn (USD 3.9 Trn) Gedebage-Tasikmalaya-Cilacap road.
The consortium announced last week in January 2022, had been awarded the public-private partnership (PPP) on Java island. Jasa Marga owns 32.5% of the project. Private developers Daya Mulia Turangga and Gama Group, along with government-owned Jasa Sarana cumulatively hold 27.5%. State-backed Waskita Karya has 20% interest while PT PP and Wijaya Karya hold 10% each.
The project will link the Gedebage district in the city of Bandung with the Cilacap Regency and is set to be completed in 2029.
MIDDLE EAST FIRM NEGOTIATING INDONESIA ROAD STAKE ACQUISITION
Several investors, including a Middle East firm, are currently in talks to acquire a stake in an IDR 26.6 Trn (USD 1.8 Bn) toll road PPP on Indonesia's Java island.
The concessionaire aims to finalize the deal during the first quarter of 2022, the joint venture building the 96km Solo-Yogyakarta-Yogyakarta International Airport project.
State-backed developer Adhi Karya has a 24% share in the JV, local developers Daya Mulia Turangga and the GAMA Group hold a combined 51% interest, and government-owned Jasa Marga has the remainder.
The toll road will connect the cities of Yogyakarta and Solo, passing tourist destinations such as the Prambanan Temple. The project was awarded in September 2020 and has a 40-year concession period.
The consortium is in talks with banks to raise debt financing for an IDR 10 Trn shovel-ready segment of the road, with a total length of 42.3km. It will have a 70:30 debt-to-equity ratio. Land acquisition for the two remaining stages of the project is ongoing.
JASA MARGA-LED CONSORTIUM BAGS USD 3.8 BN ROAD PPP

The first part, linking Bandung's district of Gedebage with the city of Tasikmalaya, will begin construction works in 2022 and start operations in 2024.

The provincial authorities are currently coordinating with local governments in the region, which will act as offtakers.
Private concessionaires in Indonesia are not allowed to sell water directly to end-users in the country, and projects are structured around long-term offtake agreements with regional- and local-owned utilities. State-run developer Waskita Karya is developing the feasibility study.
February 2022
JAPAN'S MARUBENI PARTNERS WITH PERTAMINA FOR INDONESIAN DECARBONIZATION PROJECTS
Japanese trading house Marubeni has reached a deal with Jakarta-based energy company Pertamina to jointly develop decarbonization projects in Indonesia.
One of these is a project on bioenergy with carbon capture and storage at Marubeni's pulp mill in Indonesia, which will produce biomass fuel and create carbon credits.
State-owned Pertamina aims to develop 10.2 GW of renewables by 2026 and help the Indonesian government reach its goal to be carbon neutral by 2060.
INDONESIAN AIRPORT CONCESSIONAIRE TALKING WITH LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL LENDERS

An initial business case for the project is set to be completed in the third quarter 2022. The World Bank is financing the study.
The facility is proposed to be built between the Pinang Baris and Amplas interprovincial bus terminals and the advisors will need to identify its exact location.

CHINESE MANUFACTURER BUYS 990 MW INDONESIA GEOTHERMAL PROJECTS
Chinese air compressor manufacturer Kaishan Group will acquire seven Indonesian geothermal projects through its Singapore subsidiary KS Orka Renewables.
The Zheijang province-headquartered company signed a USD 60 Mn purchase agreement with Turkish businessman owner Mehmet Emin Hitay. Kaishan will get full ownership of Hitay’s Inter Investment, which has exclusive development rights for the plants totaling 990 MW. It will mainly use its internal funds for the acquisition.

The Southeast Asian island country has a target to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060 and has pledged to source more than half its electricity from renewable power. It aims to add about 21 GW of renewables of which a little more than 3 GW will be from geothermal.
The Chinese private sector company, now one of Indonesia's largest geothermal developers by assets, expects to complete the acquisition by 2022 and aims to start site preparation later in 2022.

CHINESE-KOREAN ALLIANCE SHOWS INTEREST IN INDONESIA'S LONGEST BRIDGE
The China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC), owned by China Communications Construction Company, is looking to co-develop a USD 950 Mn oversea bridge in Indonesia with local and South Korean peers.
The Chinese infrastructure company signed an MoU with Indonesia’s HK Corporation and Daelim Industrial - one of the largest engineering and construction companies in South Korea - to co-invest in the Batam-Bintan Bridge PPP.
