Implementing Indonesia’s JETP plan requires prioritisation, processes, and transparency
In November 2022, the Indonesian government and the multi-government International Partners Group (IPG) announced the US$20 billion Indonesia Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP). Unprecedented in size and scope, it seeks to mobilise public and private sector funds to retire energy assets with high carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, and accelerate the adoption of clean technology, whilst providing the country with sustainable economic development. But discussions seem to have become stuck on defining transition priorities.
