Description (excerpt):
In 2022, in collaboration with a team of partners, RMI advised the launch of a Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP) focused on decarbonizing Indonesia’s electricity system. At $20 billion, the multilateral financial package was the largest yet assembled. The funds will help speed Indonesia’s transition to renewable sources away from coal.
To evaluate potential tradeoffs in the phaseout of coal, RMI developed a model that pairs detailed asset-level and corporate-financial analysis with a simple economic dispatch model, applying it to coal-generating units in Indonesia’s Java-Bali grid.
This insight brief includes an applied case of a plant-level analysis that holistically considers grid operations, along with the financial feasibility of transitioning away from coal, and overall climate mitigation outcomes, as proposed by RMI’s Power Sector Implementation of a Country Coal-to-Clean Transition Framework Report.
