Energy: Dialogue with ESDM Representatives on current and future programs

On 5 July 2018, the Energy Working Group held a meeting with Mr. Harris, Director of Various New and Renewable Energy, and Mr. Dian Wirengjurit, Special Staff to the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources, to share insights on the pipeline regulations and programmes by DG EBTKE.

Chaired by Mr. Thomas Wagner as the Head of the Energy Working Group, the meeting commenced with a presentation by Mr. Harris, explaining the progress of PPA to date. Following the presentation, there was a discussion session involving all meeting participants on the challenges and potential collaboration for Renewable Energy projects, such as RE financing, issues identified with the BOOT scheme, registration and direct selection by PLN, as well as incentives and regulatory simplification.

The fruitful discussion led the Working Group to clarify certain issues, and determine possible business-to-business opportunities/areas in which their participation is needed and wanted. The meeting ended with the representatives of ESDM willing to further discuss these topics in the future.
