Introduction:

The Global Green Growth Institute, headquartered in Seoul, Republic of Korea, with representation in a number of   partner countries, and was founded to support and promote a model of economic   growth known as “green growth”, which targets key aspects of economic performance such as poverty reduction, job creation, social inclusion and   environmental sustainability.

GGGI envisions a resilient world achieved   through strong, inclusive and sustainable green growth, and is dedicated to   supporting the transition of GGGI Member countries towards a green growth   model. In pursuit of these goals, GGGI works with developing and emerging   countries to design and deliver programs and services that demonstrate new   pathways to pro-poor economic growth.

GGGI supports stakeholders through two   complementary and integrated work streams – Green Growth Planning &   Implementation and Investment and Policy Solutions services– that deliver   comprehensive products and services designed to assist in developing,   financing and mainstreaming green growth in national economic development   plans.

GGGI’s interventions emphasize change in four   priority areas considered to be essential to transforming countries’   economies including energy, water, land-use and green cities. GGGI has   worked in Indonesia since 2013 and has recently embarked on the second phase   of its joint program with the government, which will run until 2019.

The program, known as the 'GoI-GGGI Green Growth   Program,' Phase II aims to demonstrate that green investments is possible and   can become the norm both for investors and for planners, ultimately improving   the overall quality of economic growth and development. GGGI collaborates   with the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), Ministry for   National Development (BAPPENAS), the Coordinating Ministry of Economic   Affairs, Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, the Peatland Restoration   Agency, and the Ministry of Environment and Forestry.

Objectives/Purpose of the Assignment:

Indonesia has ratified Paris Agreement by issuing Law   No.16/2016 as a follow up of the statement of Indonesian President in the 21^st   COP (Convention of Parties) UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on   Climate Change) in Paris in 2015. Indonesia has also delivered Nationally   Determined Contribution (NDC), which contains further explanation of the INDC   delivered to UNFCCC secretariat before COP-21 in Paris.

The NDC would be the guidance in implementing the climate   change mitigation commitment with the emission reduction plan of 29%, with   self-effort, and 41% with international support in 2030. In NDC, energy has   11% CO2 emission reduction target, second highest after forestry (17.2%). The   calculation of the NDC plan in energy sector was conducted by Directorate of   Energy Conservation at Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (Kementerian   Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral/ESDM); and the target was set based on the   RUEN (Rencana Umum Energy Nasional/National Energy Plan) 2014.

An assessment is required to review and verify the NDC   calculations for the energy sector and align the energy sector NDC plan with   the national energy plan (RUEN 2017). Also, recommendations on the overall implementation   strategy including financing strategy to meet the NDC targets is a key output   for this assessment.

Objective:

The   overall objectives for this engagement will be:

1)      To   verify and update (if required) the assumptions, calculations and modeling   outputs (including approach, scenario analysis, etc.) for the CO₂   emission reduction targets of the energy sector in the Indonesia NDC plan

2)      To   conduct sub sector analysis for energy sector in order to prioritize and   evaluate the interventions/activities (projects and programs) to meet NDC   target.

3)      To   complement the investment analysis work for the energy sector NDC   implementation that is carried out by separate team members.

4)      To   identify major mitigation options behind each sub sector through quantitative   assessments, and assess key barriers to implementation in   consultation with stakeholders

5)      To   provide technical recommendations on the overall NDC strategy for the energy   sector in Indonesia by covering aspects like technology feasibility, CO₂   reduction potential, state of industry in Indonesia etc.

6)      To   review/align corresponding monitoring and evaluation frameworks/methodology   to keep track of target achievement against the NDC plan for the energy   sector.

Proposed Activities for the Overall Project

The Consultant will contribute to the achievement of   GGGI’s program objectives of supporting the Government of Indonesia in   achieving its NDC targets. The following are the proposed activities in this   engagement:

-            Provide technical assistance

•   in reviewing the assumptions used in calculating the CO₂ emission reduction in energy sector
•   in verifying the modeling, calculations and modeling outputs (including modeling approach, scenario analysis, etc.)   relating to the calculation of CO2 emission reduction in energy sector
•   in reviewing (and proposing) the activity plan (comprising of projects and programs) for the sub sectors in energy sector to   meet NDC target, whether they are achievable in the timeframe of NDC target   and to allocate the priorities to these activities/interventions. This review   will be conducted by working together with the investment analysis   consultant. The basis for prioritizing will be associated costs, national   potential, market constraints etc. 

-            Provide international benchmarks (and   background technical basis) for the assumptions, calculations and modeling   used for development of energy sector NDC plan.

-            Provide insights on the methodologies used and   action plans developed by other countries to make NDC plans (and projects)   implementable. And also provide insights on sub-sectoral planning/analysis   from other countries. 

-            With other team members, organize and fully   support (as required) multi-stakeholder   meetings/workshops/trainings/stakeholder coordination meetings, etc. (with   different ministries like KLHK, BAPPENAS, etc.) to ensure inclusive NDC   review and consensus building amongst stakeholders. The meetings/workshops   will be led by the responsible party (ESDM).

-            Review existing drafts, data, and other NDC   documents in energy sector - from Ministry of ESDM/ Ministry of Finance/   Ministry of Transportation/Ministry of Public Works and Housing and other   relevant ministries, as required - to assimilate all information into the   final NDC document review. The tentative list of documents is as follows:

•   Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC)
•   Modeling assumptions and related documents
•   National Energy plan (RUEN)  
•   Electricity plan (RUPTL)
•   Medium term development plan (RPJMD)
•   Current energy sector NDC plan with assumptions   and calculations (developed by ESDM)

-            Discuss and work with the government   stakeholders to ensure the energy sector NDC plan is aligned with the RUEN   (and other national level plans like RPJMD, RUPTL etc.). If applicable,   highlight the gaps between different national level plans and NDC plan.

-            Discuss and work with the government   stakeholders to conduct a sub sector analysis to identify and prioritize the   interventions/activities (projects and programs) that would meet the NDC   targets for energy sector.

-            Research (both primary and secondary) the best   practices / lessons learned in NDC planning activities from other national /   international cases.

-            Propose and recommend overall   strategy/strategic framework for meeting with the NDC commitments in the energy   sector.

-            With other team members, intensively work   together with the relevant stakeholders on the development of Monitoring and   Evaluation plan for the energy sector NDC in the future. The developed plan   will be proposed to the relevant stakeholders with an objective to build   consensus.
