Program Overview
WRI
Indonesia's energy program works to advance reliable, clean energy and reduce
carbon emissions, while balancing the need for economic advancement. WRI
Indonesia believe that sustainable development highlights the need for
integrated approaches to finding solutions that are aligned with the challenge
of achieving economic, social and environmental goals that are often
interlinked. Therefore, the energy program aims to work across disciplines with
the cities team, climate team and the ocean to combine low carbon technology
systems, quantitative models, and other policy-making decision tools to achieve
and support key national initiatives in Indonesia such as the acceleration of
the achievement of national renewable energy targets and net zero ambition. To achieve
the net zero vision, we believe that change need to happen not only at national
level, but also subnational level. Therefore, WRI Indonesia has been building
our presence at several key provinces, such as Bali, to champion the low-carbon
solutions and produce best practices.
The Bali
Climate and Green Development Initiative is a five-year program on
decarbonizing Bali energy through transition into renewable energy, the use of
e-mobility, and promoting climate entrepreneurship and leadership to achieve
the Bali net-zero in 2045. Through this initiative, it is hoped that there will
be synergy between stakeholders related to accelerating the clean energy
transition, implementing electric vehicle, and strengthening local communities
and communities to be more involved in the green development agenda. In the
short to medium term, WRI Indonesia will contribute to this initiative through
4 objectives: (1) Improve EV technical regulations and monitoring system to
implement EV masterplan, (2) Demonstrate business cases for EV conversion and
EV-clean energy integration, (3) Empower island community’s capacity to
increase productivity by using low-carbon technologies, (4) Integrate Bali’s
key stakeholders, including women groups and vulnerable communities in promoting
green architecture for sustainable tourism.
To achieve
the third objective “empower island’s community capacity to increase
productivity by using low-carbon technologies” we partner with HSBC Indonesia
to start 2 sub-initiatives, namely: (1) Bali Clean Energy Village, and (2) Bali
Youth for Clean Energy. In Bali Clean Energy Village, we will collaborate with
local partners to deploy low carbon technologies such as solar PV rooftop,
electric propulsion machine for boat, and fish chiller, while increasing local
community’s capacity in deploying, managing, operating, and maintaining the
technologies sustainably. By having access to renewable electricity, local
communities can conduct more economy activities, and ultimately contribute to
Bali’s net zero vision. This project focuses on targeted area in Bali that we
set out to be replicable for other similar areas in the island. Meanwhile, Bali
Youth for Clean Energy will focus on increasing local skills for solar rooftop
deployment. We will work together with local vocational high schools and
relevant government agencies to develop and conduct trainings for solar rooftop
installation and monitoring. These two sub-initiatives are designed to be
complementary to each other, and directly feed into the overarching goal of
Bali Climate and Green Development Initiative.
The fourth
objective will focus more on mainstreaming the green building principles to
local regulations and practice, particularly energy efficiency measures and the
use of renewable energy. We partner with local architects’ group, green
building council, and relevant government agencies to conduct assessment and
provide policy recommendation.
