Tetra Tech was awarded the USAID Sustainable Energy for Indonesia's Advancing Resilience (SINAR) project from January 2021 to January 2026. SINAR seeks to advance Indonesia's development goals in expanding reliable and equitable energy services necessary for sustainable development and inclusive economic growth. To achieve this goal, SINAR will focus on the following areas: 1) Accelerating deployment of advanced energy technologies, 2) Improving performance of energy utilities, 3) Applying procurement best practices, and 4) Establishing an institutional framework and capacity for energy sector transformation.
By achieving this goal, USAID will contribute to Indonesia’s Sustainable Development Goals and 2020-2024 National Medium Term Development Plan.
Task Description
To fulfill its commitment to sustainable development and green financing, the Government of Indonesia launched the Indonesia Environment Fund (IEF/BPDLH) through Minister of Finance Regulation No. 137/2019 in October 2019. BPDLH has the aim of increasing the level of green finance in Indonesia and will be the official mechanism for managing and coordinating environmental and climate funds including from international sources.
Indonesia's forests play a multifaceted role in advancing the country's renewable energy agenda, offering opportunities for sustainable energy production, carbon sequestration, and economic development. Forested areas contribute to the preservation of watersheds and rivers, which are essential for hydropower generation. Indonesia has significant hydropower potential, and maintaining forest cover helps ensure consistent water flow for hydropower plants, contributing to a more diversified renewable energy mix. The Research, Development and Innovation Agency of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry has so far built 31 micro-hydro units which have benefited 1,731 families in 28 villages around forest areas.
Geothermal energy is another renewable energy source that intersects with forest ecosystems. Indonesia has approximately 14,961 MW of geothermal potential with 12,705 MW located in conservation areas across 18 provinces. Therefore, balancing geothermal development with forest conservation is essential to achieve sustainable energy production while safeguarding biodiversity, ecosystem services, and the rights of local communities. Also, integrating environmental and social considerations into project planning and implementation is key to achieving a harmonious relationship between geothermal energy and forest ecosystems.
One of the programs owned by BPDLH is Revolving Fund Facility (Fasilitas Dana Bergulir/FDB). FDB is designed to provide access to capital for forestry business development and environmental investment in the context of forest conservation carried out by members of the Forestry Business Group who have direct access to forest management and environmental conservation activities. The Reforestation Fund (Dana Reboisasi) is one of the funds managed through the provision of FDB. This fund is intended to support forest and land restoration through rehabilitation and sustainable forest management efforts, with a focus on empowering forest-dependent communities in accordance with the mandate of Presidential Regulation 23/2021 on Forest Management Implementation.
USAID SINAR aims to support BPDLH in achieving the fund distribution target and enhance the accountability of providing FDB to the community. The Junior Credit Analyst will support USAID SINAR in delivering the technical assistance to BPDLH.
