CHANGING SOCIETY
Rapidly growing urban
population and middle
class
Indonesias economic development and social changes have strongly accelerated the need for a
new paradigm in the countrys environmental, infrastructure, energy and transport dynamics.
The new Indonesian government has recognized the need for more sustainable investment and development practices,
and has been facilitating projects which respond to this demand.
Opportunities for European businesses thrive in the green sector in the form of direct investment, partnership ventures,
technology export, consultancy and training.
The highest potential is found in clean energy, green building and water and waste management, with many promising
opportunities in public projects which are part of the framework of the 2013-2024 Masterplan for Acceleration and
Expansion of Indonesia's Economic Development and other regional infrastructure development initiatives.
Indonesia has a national commitment to reduce carbon emissions by 26% in 2020.
CLEAN ENERGY
Indonesias 2014 National Energy Policy aims for a 23% share of the overall energy mix for renewable
resources by 2025. The government has been pushing for the development of the needed
infrastructure through Public Private Partnership (PPP) offers and tax relief schemes. Moreover, new
regulations established a new feed-in tariff for hydro power, geothermal, solar, bioenergy, landfill gas
and municipal waste applications using zero-waste technology. Indonesias energy market is opening
rapidly with various ongoing and future projects confirming the countrys high potential.
GREEN BUILDING
Green building has been given a central role in Indonesias much sought energy shift, as Indonesian
authorities consider that its expansion is vital to the countrys transition. Since 2013, Indonesia has in
place a national green building agency and certification policy, while mandatory sustainability and
energy efficiency standards are already fully enforced in the major cities of Jakarta and Surabaya. The
growth of this segment has been well received, visible in the ongoing rise of FDI directed at clean
energy technology in the emergence of more financing opportunities.
