I. THE PROJECT

A. Rationale

1. The project will provide a $360 million project loan(s) to the Government of Indonesia for the development of nearly 184 megawatts (MW) of hydroelectric power plants (HPP) in East Java, and West Papua.1 The two subprojects in East Java are - (i) expansion of existing Sutami HPP (Units IV and V - 2x50 MW) and (ii) Kesamben HPP (Units I and II - 2x18.5 MW).2 The subproject in West Papua is Warsamson HPP (Units I-III – 3x15.5 MW).

2. The project will provide additional clean energy and meet increased electricity demand. The project (i) is part of the state-owned power company, PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara’s (PLN), long-term power development plan; (ii) directly supports ADB’s Country Partnership Strategy (2012–2014); (iii) is included in the COBP (2013-2014); (iv) is highlighted in ADB’s Energy Policy (2009); and (v) is incorporated in the draft energy sector assessment, strategy and roadmap that is currently under revision. The project is consistent with the government’s master plan3 (MP3EI) for accelerating economic development and the National Medium-term Development Plan 2010–2014 (RPJMN). Warsamson is included in the government’s list of projects to be financed in 2014 through overseas assistance. The East Java subprojects are expected to be included in the list of projects for financing during 2015-2019.

3. To meet economic development imperatives, the country’s projected electricity generation installed capacity is expected to increase from about 35 gigawatts (GW) to nearly 85 GW. Power shortage remains a critical infrastructure constraint throughout the country. The country is endowed with a range of renewable energy resources, including hydropower, wind, solar, biomass and geothermal. In particular, geothermal and hydropower sources are well placed to address Indonesia’s near term electricity sector challenges. The government plans to increase the share of renewable energy in its power generation mix from about 11% (7% hydropower) currently to nearly 19% (11% hydropower) by 2020.

4. Indonesia’s hydropower potential is estimated at about 76,000 MW. The current installed capacity is about 5,705 MW. PLN owns and operates 96% of this capacity. PLN’s national power master plan (RUPTL, 2011–2020) envisions the development of an additional 5,722 MW. Overall, hydropower development continues to be constrained in the country. Large upfront capital costs, environmental safeguard compliance, and associated land acquisition and resettlement make investment in hydropower prohibitive for the private sector. The government remains the developer of last resort. ADB involvement in subsector has been relatively modest, mainly limited to small hydropower projects in the 1990s and more recently the just-completed Loan 1982-INO: Renewable Energy Development Sector Project. The government and PLN are seeking long-term financing from ADB to allow PLN to develop hydropower generation capacity across East Java and West Papua and associated transmission lines (TLs).

1 A project preparatory technical assistance (PPTA) grant will help the government formulate the investment in accordance with ADB requirements (see Appendix 4 for details). The TA first appeared in the business opportunities section of ADB’s website on 31 May 2013.

2 The PPTA may lead to a single loan for the three subprojects or two loans, one for the West Papua plant, and

another for the East Java plants. This is because the subprojects are in varying stages of readiness. Warsamson is most advanced and may be processed as a separate loan in 2014. PLN currently does not have the development rights for the projects in East Java. The project concept paper and the related PPTA are designed to prepare the project in all possible combinations for the eventual investment loan(s) in 2014 and or 2015.

3 The Masterplan for Acceleration and Expansion of Indonesia's Economic Development (abbreviated MP3EI) is

intended to accelerate the development of the country in an equitable manner.

B. Impact, Outcome, and Outputs

5. The impact of the project will be an increased supply of clean energy generation in Indonesia. Its outcome will be that hydropower generation capacity in East Java and West Papua is expanded. Appendix 1 provides basic project information and Appendix 2 presents the problem tree. The design and monitoring framework for the investment program is in Appendix 3. Project outputs will include: (i) a HPP with a capacity of 46.5 MW at Warsamson and related TLs commissioned; (ii) two HPPs totaling 137 MW of capacity at Sutami and Kesamben and related TLs commissioned; and (iii) project implementation capacity strengthened within PLN.

C. Investment and Financing Plans

6. The project is estimated to cost $510 million. ADB may provide $360 million from ordinary capital resources (OCR), and the government will provide the remaining $150 million as counterpart financing. The tentative financing plan is summarized in Table 1.

Asian Development Bank 360.00 71.00

Government 150.00 29.00 Total 510.00 100.00

Source: ADB staff estimates

D. Indicative Implementation Arrangements

7. PLN will be the executing agency (EA) for the investment program (and the PPTA) and will be responsible for the overall technical supervision and execution of the project. A senior PLN staff member will assume overall responsibility of the project and will establish a dedicated project management unit headed by a full-time project director with administrative support. East Java subprojects. A project steering committee will be set up in Malang to oversee PPTA and project implementation and comprise officials from PLN and PJT-I4 and representatives from the local governments of Malang and Blitar. The steering committee membership for the West Papua subproject will include the local government of Sorong.

8. The indicative procurement method for the project will be international competitive bidding, in accordance with ADB’s Procurement Guidelines (2013, as amended from time to time). A procurement plan will be prepared for the project and suitable turnkey contracts may be adopted. A supervision consulting firm will be recruited using the quality and cost-based selection method (quality: cost weighting of 90:10),5 following ADB’s Guidelines on the Use of Consultants (2013, as amended from time to time) to assist the EA in implementing the project. The project envisages the use of advance contracting and retroactive financing of up to 20% of total financing subject to ADB management’s approval, preparedness of the project, and availability of counterpart financing. The project’s implementation period is May 2015 – December 2019.

4 P.T. Jasa Tirtha I (PJT-I, a state-owned water utility) is responsible for the overall management of the Brantas River

system and also owns the Sutami Dam on which PLN proposes to add two hydropower generating units. 5 The firm will have extensive expertise in hydropower and an in-depth understanding of Indonesia’s power sector,

social and environmental regulations, and a high quality team of national consultants. Hence a higher weight for quality has been adopted.

II. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE

9. The PPTA is estimated to cost $2.0 million and will be financed from the Technical Assistance Cluster (TAC) on a grant basis by the Government of Australia and administered by ADB (footnote 1). PLN will also provide in-kind contribution in terms of access to past studies and data, counterpart staff time, administrative services, communication and field travel. The outcome of the PPTA will be to produce an agreed project design, feasibility study, implementation arrangements suitable for ADB financing, well-prepared subproject(s) completed with a financing and implementation plan, advance procurement actions, and the government’s concurrence on the subproject(s) implementation plan. Details are in Appendix 4.

III. DUE DILIGENCE REQUIRED

10. The following aspects will be covered under the due diligence:

(i) Technical. The proposed projects include an expansion of an existing project, and a run-of-river project. The proposed due diligence will ensure that technical and geological risks are minimal, and focus on optimization of the expanded electromechanical equipment taking into account existing civil works, recent hydrological trends, and sedimentation patterns.

(ii) Economic and financial. Economic and financial viability of each project will be evaluated along with the current and forecasted financial health, of the EA, PLN.

(iii) Poverty and social. The due diligence will focus on minimizing negative social impacts while documenting positive impacts on poverty reduction and vulnerable people.

(iv) Safeguards. The project is being preliminarily classified as A for environment, involuntary resettlement (IR) and indigenous peoples (IP). At the subproject level, classifications are: (1) East Java: Category B for environment; Category B for IR in Sutami and Category A for IR in Kesamben; and Category C for IP in both sites; (2) Warsamson: Category A for environment, IR and IP.

11. Major risks and mitigation measures are as follows.

(i) Technical risks: Increased sedimentation upstream of Sutami is possible. The potential impacts on the project will be fully evaluated during the PPTA.

(ii) Implementation delays: Development of Warsamson would involve the relocation of a 5 km national road, and obtaining a forestry conversion permit from the Ministry of Forestry. Both of these could be delayed. Risks will be mitigated by ensuring (i) a high degree of project readiness with technical designs and detailed cost estimates, forestry and environmental ministry approvals, consultations with related ministries and advance procurement; and (ii) adequate provision for project implementation support. PLN may be delayed in obtaining the development rights for Sutami and Kesamben. Early consultations between PLN and PJT-I and the local governments will be supported to expedite the signing of appropriate agreements.

(iii) Safeguards: Sutami will involve expansion of an existing power project. The land to be acquired is small and will therefore have minimal negative environmental and social impacts. Kesamben is a small-sized run-of-river project that will require the acquisition of about 70 hectares (with about 80 affected households, and the permanent relocation of about 15 households). This scale of impact is considered low-to-moderate for a hydropower project and can be mitigated

Page 8: Scaling up Hydropower Development Project · HPP (Units IV and V - 2x50 MW) and (ii) Kesamben HPP (Units I and II - 2x18.5 MW).2 The subproject in West Papua is Warsamson HPP (Units

through the implementation of ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (2009). The forest classification of the Warsamson area is “production forests” and the area is disturbed. Notwithstanding the impacts on biodiversity and IP will be evaluated. PLN is familiar with ADB’s SPS. Nevertheless, PPTA consultants will support the implementing agencies (IA) during due diligence to prepare SPS documents.

IV. PROCESSING PLAN

A. Risk Categorization

12. The requirements for a “low risk” project are: (i) the project loan amount does not exceed $200 million; (ii) there is a sound record of ADB's previous experience in the sector in the concerned country; (iii) the EA has prior extensive experience in the sector and with development projects; and (iv) the safeguard categorizations are B. The proposed project does not fulfill two of the four criteria, and therefore, this project is considered a complex project. B. Resource Requirements

13. Staff requirements for due diligence of the project include: mission leader (6.0 person-months [p-m]), financial specialist (2.0 p-m), economist (2.0 p-m), environmental specialist (3.0 p-m), involuntary resettlement specialist (3.0 p-m). C. Processing Schedule

PROBLEM TREE

PLN unable to recover costs and take into account grid expansion requirements. Annual budget allocation for expansion is inadequate. Dispersed population and presence of islands increases the costs of providing energy access

Institutional and technical capacity weakness leads to long implementation delays Poor interministerial coordination leads to long delays in obtaining environmental and forestry permits and land acquisition

Low tariffs and non-implementation of existing renewable energy promotion programs and targets Lack of regulatory framework and targets for energy efficiency Inadequate investment by the private sector owing to low tariffs

The energy sector fails to support economic growth aspirations adequately

and leads to a disproportionate level of negative local and global environmental impacts

Power system reliability compromised leading to brownouts and blackouts

The power sector has high carbon intensity and causes relatively high local air pollution impacts

Inefficient use of natural resources as renewable energy investments is limited

Large energy subsidy payments and reliance on imported fossil energy has negative impact on national budget

Inadequate supply of reliable power from clean energy sources including hydropower

Heavy reliance on fossil-fueled generation

Inadequate investment in generation, transmission, and distribution relative to demand

Renewable energy generation such as hydropower is not prioritized

State-owned utilities unable to realize rapid capacity expansion plans

Public service obligation and fuel cost pass through scheme for oil and coal favors use of fossil energy over other sources The 1997 economic crisis derailed plans to expand renewable energy generation

I. INTRODUCTION

1. The above subproject is part of the INO: Sustainable Infrastructure Assistance Program (SIAP) that was approved by the ADB Board of Directors on 17 June 2013. The INO: (SIAP) is a technical assistance cluster (TAC) financed by AusAID and administered by ADB. 2. Progress of SIAP. This is the third subproject under the $20 million INO: Sustainable Infrastructure Assistance Program. Approval of the subproject will make total approvals $5.215 million. Five further subprojects are expected to be considered for approval in 2013. There is no implementation performance issues to report. A. Justification

3. A project preparatory technical assistance (PPTA) is required to conduct due diligence and prepare the relevant project documents for two investment projects, namely: (i) Sutami IV and V (extensions): 2 X 50 megawatts (MW); and (ii) Kesamben 2 X 18.5 MW, and another in West Papua, Warsamson (3 X 15.5 MW). B. Major Outputs and Activities

4. Due diligence on Warsamson will be conducted first as the loan is to be prepared for 2014. Some work for the East Java projects will begin but the bulk of the work on those locations is to be conducted from late 2014 to mid-2015. The loan for the East Java project is to

7 The PPTA may lead to a single loan for the three subprojects or two loans, one for the West Papua project, and one

for the two sites in East Java. This is because the subprojects are in varying stages of readiness. Warsamson is most advanced in terms of project readiness for possible Board consideration in 2014. PLN currently does not have the development rights for the projects in East Java. It is expected that PLN negotiate these rights within the next 4 months.

INITIAL POVERTY AND SOCIAL ANALYSIS

Country: Indonesia Project Title: Scaling up Hydropower Development Project

Lending/Financing Modality:

Project Loan Department/ Division:

Southeast Asia Department / Energy Division

I. POVERTY IMPACT AND SOCIAL DIMENSIONS

A. Links to the National Poverty Reduction Strategy and Country Partnership Strategy

The National Medium–Term Development Plan (RPJMN) 2010–2014 which is part of the Long-term National Development Plan 2005–2025 aims at achieving an annual economic growth rate of at least 7% by 2014 and reducing national poverty ratio

13 from 14.15% in 2009 to 8%–10% by the end of 2014. The economic growth rate

reached 6.5% in 2011 and this resulted in about 1.5 million new jobs being created and formal employment raised by 16.0%. The new jobs were mostly created in the construction, manufacturing, and services sectors. Notwithstanding these recent improvements, as of September 2012, the number of poor people was 28.59 million (11.66% of the total population). Some parties considered this poverty line figures is too low and does not reflect the real life needs which is about $2 per day. Nearly 52% of the population (about 135 million people) is living on less than $2 a day. Accelerated economic growth that provides regions with improved economic opportunity and access to social services is required to ameliorate this persistent poverty. The government has identified lagging infrastructure, including energy generation, transmission and distribution as a key constraint for achieving the medium-term target of poverty reduction.

The country’s current per capita annual electricity consumption of 590 kWh and the national electrification rate at 66% in 2010 lags behind that of its neighbors. Indonesia’s current energy elasticity is estimated at about 2; i.e. for every 1 percent increase in GDP growth; electricity consumption would need to increase by about 2 percent. The future growth prospects of the country are thus contingent on rapidly increasing access to reliable sources of energy. PLN, the state-owned power company has embarked on an ambitious plan to add over 20,000 MW between 2006 and 2018 and related transmission and distribution infrastructure. The proposed hydropower project will augment generation capacity and improve the reliability of the power infrastructure through clean energy resource.

ADB’s Indonesia Country Partnership Strategy (CPS) 2012–2014 is closely aligned with the government’s RPJMN. Improved infrastructure (including the generation of additional electricity) and climate change mitigation (a motivation for clean energy provision) lie at the intersection of RPJMN’s priority areas and ADB’s Strategy 2020. Specifically, the CPS comprises two pillars – Pillar I: Inclusive growth, and Pillar II: Environmental Sustainability with climate change mitigation and adaptation. ADB’s proposed future financing for the development of clean hydropower directly addresses both pillars.

B. Targeting Classification

General Intervention Individual or Household (TI-H) Geographic (TI-G) Non-Income MDGs (TI-M1, M2, etc.)

The project benefits the general population of East Java and West Papua Provinces through the provision of higher quality and more stable supply electricity from renewable energy sources. In 2012, 13.08% in East Java and 27.14% in West Papua are classified as poor (National Statistics Agency, January 2013), and all those people will benefit from the project.

C. Poverty and Social Analysis

1. Key issues and potential beneficiaries.

The proposed project is an effort to improve the supply of reliable electricity from indigenous sources in the country, while the potential needs of the beneficiaries are the supply of stable and high quality electricity at an affordable price. The regional population will benefit from improved access to electricity to support their economic activities. By generating local employment and livelihood opportunities, the project will also benefit local communities in the three proposed project areas (Districts of Blitar and Malang in East Java, and District of Sorong in West Papua Province). National statistic indicates that in 2012, the poverty incidence in East Java was 13.08% and West Papua was 27.04%. This percentage is higher than the national level that was 11.66%. During due diligence, the Project

13

Poverty line is used as a threshold to determine whether a person is considered poor or not. The poor are people who have an average monthly per capita expenditure (for food and non-food) below the poverty line. In September 2012, the national poverty line in Indonesia was Rp 259,520 per capita per month (National Statistics Agency, January 2013).

Appendix 5 19

Preparatory Technical Assistance (PPTA) team will identify concerns and needs specific to various community stakeholders (including poor, customary communities, and the socially excluded) to further improve project design features.

Lack of generation capacity and lack of transmission and distribution infrastructure have been the biggest constraint to accessing the proposed benefits and services. By increasing the supply of electricity from an indigenous and renewable source, the project will provide economic opportunities for large industries, and small and medium enterprises in the region, and households and community-level facilities (e.g. clinics, schools) in the area. By lowering the demand for imported and expensive fossil fuels (e.g. coal and natural gas), the project saves foreign exchange.

2. Impact channels and expected systemic changes.

The project is to develop hydropower plants that are going to be connected to the grid. However, recruitment of unskilled labors for civil works will prioritize locally sourced labor from project communities. The PPTA team will also undertake a rapid assessment of communities’ access to energy in the project areas.

3. Focus of (and resources allocated in) the PPTA or due diligence.

A PPTA with a budget of $2.0 million is being provided for conducting due diligence and preparing the appropriate impact mitigation documents and plans. The PPTA team will comprise an energy economist (international and national consultant), a social impacts and resettlement issues specialist (international and national consultant), an indigenous people (IP) specialist (international and national consultant), and an environmental specialist (international and national consultant). These specialists will review aspects relating to poverty and employment impacts disaggregated by gender, carry out resettlement assessment and due diligence, and environmental impact assessments, and IP assessment. The team will also develop an inventory of potential losses and social economic surveys and engage in consultations with affected peoples (APs), local and national government agencies and other relevant stakeholders facilitate board community support and document the process and outcomes of consultations with IP. and assist ADB to perform the requisite public disclosure activities. Social and environmental safeguards documents will be prepared.

4. Specific analysis for policy-based lending.

Not applicable.

II. GENDER AND DEVELOPMENT

1. What are the key gender issues in the sector/subsector that are likely to be relevant to this project or program?

The social impact analysis undertaken under the PPTA will characterize poverty and access to energy disaggregated by gender to describe the status of women in the local communities. The project will provide access for women to participate and obtain benefits during the project implementation phase including participating in the consultation meetings, access to project-related jobs, and participation in livelihood improvement programs if required. The impacts mitigation/resettlement plans and indigenous people plan (IPP) will ensure that there aren’t any disproportionate negative impacts on women.

Once the project is completed, the more reliable supply of electricity is expected to have positive impacts on women both in terms of alleviating women’s burden in the domestic sector and opening up increased avenues for women to operate small businesses and rural enterprises.

2. Does the proposed project or program have the potential to make a contribution to the promotion of gender equity and/or empowerment of women by providing women’s access to and use of opportunities, services, resources, assets, and participation in decision making?

Yes No Please explain.

The project does not have direct contribution to improving access of women to electricity. It is not foreseen that a grid-connected power project will specifically widen gender equality.

3. Could the proposed project have an adverse impact on women and/or girls or widen gender inequality?

Yes No Please explain.

The project will have positive impacts on women’s burden in reducing the domestic sector, businesses, and better access to public services. There is no adverse impact to be experienced by women and/or girls.

4. Indicate the intended gender mainstreaming category:

GEN (gender equity theme) EGM (effective gender mainstreaming) SGE (some gender elements) NGE (no gender elements)

III. PARTICIPATION AND EMPOWERMENT

1. Who are the main stakeholders of the project, including beneficiaries and negatively affected people? Identify how they will participate in the project design.

Provincial and district government agencies, PJT I in East Java, forestry agencies at national and local levels, local communities, customary councils, APs/IPs will be consulted for the proposed project. They will participate in the project planning, implementation, and monitoring through various ways including i) consultations with stakeholders (government and non-government entities) to get inputs on the project design, required permits, and mitigation measures for APs/IPs; ii) public consultation meetings and focus group discussions (FGDs) with communities and APs/IPs to get their view and suggestions on the project potential impacts and mitigation measures.

2. How can the project contribute (in a systemic way) to engaging and empowering stakeholders and beneficiaries, particularly, the poor, vulnerable and excluded groups? What issues in the project design require participation of the poor and excluded?

Meaningful consultation will be carried out during the PPTA stage and it will be continued on an ongoing basis throughout the project cycle. Views and concerns of concerned parties will be elicited with regard to project potential impacts, resettlement, social risk, and mitigation measures. The methods to be used for consultations will vary that will include i) public consultation meetings and FGDs with potential APs/affected IPs; ii) limited household surveys; and iii) meetings and interviews with government officials both at national and local levels; iii) meetings with informal leaders/groups in all project areas and customary council in West Papua. The PPTA will facilitate social and environmental impacts assessment and promote participatory planning to enable local communities to voice their opinions on the project and its potential impacts, and appropriate mitigation measures.

A broad community support/consent of affected IPs communities will be sought, as the project in West Papua may affect to physically displacement of IP from traditional or customary lands. The process of consultations with the IP and IP organization, recommendations, and any formal agreement reached with them will be properly recorded. When the project (client) and the affected IPs have major disagreements relating to the project design, the IPP, or the implementation of the IPP activities, then a process of good faith negotiations for resolving such differences and disagreements will be adopted.

3. What are the key, active, and relevant civil society organizations in the project area? What is the level of civil society organization participation in the project design?

There are several active non-government organizations in the project area that have concern on environment, energy, and water. There are also several farmer organizations that have strong concerns on rights to water and indigenous councils that has concerns on the IPs rights. They will be consulted on the project design, its potential impacts, and efforts to minimize the impacts.

Information generation and sharing Consultation Collaboration Partnership

4. Are there issues during project design for which participation of the poor and excluded is important? What are they and how shall they be addressed?

Yes No

All APs/IPs and communities including the poor, IPs/customary groups, and other vulnerable groups will be intensively consulted, especially during resettlement plan preparation and implementation. No specific capacity building program will be conducted to strengthen the participation of poor and other vulnerable groups.

IV. SOCIAL SAFEGUARDS

A. Involuntary Resettlement Category A B C FI

1. Does the project have the potential to involve involuntary land acquisition resulting in physical and economic displacement?

Yes No

The proposed project (Sutami, Kesamben, and Warsamsom Hydropower Development) will require land acquisition and resettlement.

Land to be acquired for Sutami subproject is state land which comprises forestry land managed by PT Perhutani and agricultural production land used by sharecroppers and managed by PT Jasa Tirtha I (PJT-I, a state-owned water

Page 25: Scaling up Hydropower Development Project · HPP (Units IV and V - 2x50 MW) and (ii) Kesamben HPP (Units I and II - 2x18.5 MW).2 The subproject in West Papua is Warsamson HPP (Units

Appendix 5 21

shed management company). There is no residential land to be acquired; however, several structures used for small business (kiosks) will be potentially affected for the subproject construction. Less than 50 persons are expected to be severely affected (i.e. having 10% or more of their productive income generating assets lost) and no physical relocation is expected.

The Kesamben subproject will require around 70 ha land comprising residential area, mixed garden, and dry land. Lands are privately owned by households, PT Perhutani (forestry agency), and PJT I (several meters along the river). A total of approximately 80 households with around 320 members will be either economically or physically displaced. Among the 80 affected households (AHs), about 15 AHs need to be physically relocated as their houses need to be totally demolished. Some AHs will lose their income from agricultural production. None of AHs have business activities (shops or kiosks).

The Warsamson project in Sorong District, West Papua requires 3,240 ha of land. It consists of 2,440 ha of forestry land occupied by customary communities/IPs, 175 ha of cacao plantation land, 600 ha of agricultural land, and 600 ha of river basin areas. There are several costmary groups living in the project area. These groups will potentially lose their land, trees/crops, and access to the natural resources as a source of livelihood. There are 96 households (IPs) who may need to be physically relocated for inundation areas.

2. What action plan is required to address involuntary resettlement as part of the PPTA or due diligence process?

Resettlement plan Resettlement framework Social impact matrix

Environmental and social management system arrangement None

B. Indigenous Peoples Category A B C FI

1. Does the proposed project have the potential to directly or indirectly affect the dignity, human rights, livelihood systems, or culture of indigenous peoples?

Yes No

2. Does it affect the territories or natural and cultural resources indigenous peoples own, use, occupy, or claim, as their ancestral domain?

Yes No

The proposed project will affect the IP living in the project area and 96 households of IP may need to be physically relocated for the Warsamson project in West Papua. There are no IP to be affected in East Java projects. Further assessment on the project impacts to the IP and explorations on alternative project designs to avoid the physical displacement will be carried out by the PPTA team.

3. Will the project require broad community support of affected indigenous communities?

Yes No Please explain.
