Specifics   of Recruitment

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 and calculations related to   the required investment costs associated with the interventions/activities to   achieve the NDC target in energy sector.

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 from investment cost/budget perspective.

3)      Identify   major mitigation options behind each sub sector, quantitatively, from an   investment perspective, and assess key barriers to implementation   in consultation with stakeholders

4)      Work   with the other team members, to provide recommendations on the overall NDC implementation   strategy for the energy sector in Indonesia.

5)      To   develop and propose a financial/investment strategy for achieving the energy   sector NDC of Indonesia.

Proposed activities:

 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:

-            With other team members, provide technical   assistance 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. The basis for   prioritizing will be associated costs, national potential, market   constraints, etc. 

-            Provide international benchmarks (and   background technical basis) for the assumptions and calculations for the   budget/investment cost of energy sector NDC plan.

-            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, related to   investment requirement from different financial sources, into the final NDC document   review. The tentative list of documents is as follows:

•   Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC)
•   National Energy plan (RUEN) 
•   Electricity plan (RUPTL)
•   Medium term development plan (RPJMD)
•   Current energy sector NDC plan with   assumptions and calculations (developed by ESDM)
•   APBN/State budget allocation

-            Work closely with the government team in the   related ministries to jointly review and validate the assumptions used to calculate   the investment cost to achieve NDC target in energy sector; In case of   limited data availability, the consultant may propose alternative   methodologies to achieve the end result. The consultant may also provide   improvement suggestions on data collection, data validation and data accuracy   if applicable.

-            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. Also map the financial sources with the   identified/prioritized interventions

-            With the technical experts of the team, 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 from financial/investment aspects.

-            Propose and recommend financing   strategies/mechanisms – public financing and private sector financing for   meeting the NDC commitments in the energy sector.

-            Work together with other team members to   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.
