INDONESIAN DEVELOPER TO PLAN INVESTMENTS ALONG JAKARTA SUBWAY
State-owned subway operator MRT Jakarta signed two memorandums - one with industrial estate developer Jababeka and the other with government-investment company Jasa Sarana - allowing them to explore project opportunities along the Eastern-Western Jakarta subway line.
The potential projects for Jababeka include stations and a transit-oriented development (TOD) in the west Java-Bekasi area. The memorandum of understanding with Jasa Sarana is for the construction of a waste management facility in the same region.
The Ministry of Transportation is working on the basic engineering design of the Eastern-Western Line. The company is also seeking partners to build a IDR 2.7 Trn (USD 188 Mn) TOD project near Fatmawati station on the Eastern-Western Line.
Several state-owned and private Indonesian companies are seeking investors to construct mixed-use developments. A group of Indonesian investors is looking for equity partners to build a IDR 390.5 Bn project in Central Java province.
INDONESIA WATER SUPPLY PPP SCHEDULED FOR THIRD QUARTER
Indonesian authorities are moving forward with a water supply public-private partnership (PPP) in West Java province, with the request for pre-qualification to be issued in the third quarter this year.
Tirta Gemah Ripah, a government-owned water utility that will act as the procuring agency, will launch public consultations with local offtakers next week.
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. The Jatigede water supply PPP will involve the building of a water treatment facility with a capacity of 1,500 liters per second, to serve the Majalengka, Indramayu, Sumedang and Cirebon regencies.
The project cost is yet to be finalised, but a government teaser estimates a capital expenditure of USD 141 Mn. It also specifies a concession period of 30 years. Tirta Gemah Ripah is preparing the launch of a Swiss Challenge for the IDR 828 Bn (USD 57 Mn) Sinumbra water project, which will serve the city of Bandung and adjacent regions.
QUANTUM AND IB VOGT TO BUILD 3.5GW PROJECT IN RIAU ISLANDS
Singapore-based Quantum Power Asia and German clean energy developer IB Vogt have partnered to build a USD 5 Bn solar power and storage facility in Indonesia's Riau Islands. The project, to be built through a joint venture company Anantara Energy Holdings, will generate over 3.5 GW of solar power and have an energy storage capacity of 12 GWh.
About 75% of the project cost will be financed through debt while the remaining will be equity financed by developers. The Sponsors are speaking to several banks to arrange the same.
The facility is set to export power to Singapore via an undersea cable and can provide 4 TWh of renewable energy annually when it starts full operations in 2032. It will be spread across 4,000 hectares in Riau.
The project will be developed in multiple phases and will support a proposal submitted by Quantum, IB Vogt and Union Power to the Energy Market Authority (EMA) for a 1.2 GW tender to import renewable power into the island nation.
The companies are in discussions with the EMA on the capacity and other details of the proposal. Singapore plans to import a total of 4 GW of renewable power by the year 2035.

The concession will be for 20 years, in addition to three years for construction. The government has 6.1 Ha of land available for the proposed facility.
Developers receive tipping fees to dispose of waste, paid by the local government, and calculated based on the weight of the garbage. The fees are capped at IDR 500,00 (USD 34) per tonne. They also receive a fixed feed-in tariff for energy supplied to the grid, at more attractive rates than are generally available to renewables developers.
