17. Supporting the Climate Investment Fund’s Accelerating Coal Transition Investment Program and the Asian Development Bank’s Energy Transition Mechanism; and
18. Recognizing Indonesia’s commitment as the G20 Presidency in 2022 to reiterate global support for the energy transition in three priority areas namely energy access, technology, and finance, to achieve better economic growth that is inclusive, sustainable, and equitable.

Intends to:

1. Establish a JETP as a long-term partnership to help Indonesia pursue an accelerated and ambitious just energy transition that supports a trajectory that keeps a warming limit of 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels within reach, and includes an ambitious power sector emissions reduction pathway and strategy based on the expansion of renewable energies and the phase down of on and off-grid coal-fired electricity generation; and the implementation of concrete actions achieving a just energy transition for workers and communities, particularly those most affected by an energy transition away from coal.
2. Implement the JETP as a partnership between the Government of Indonesia and the IPG to enable the accelerated decarbonization of Indonesia’s power sector to achieve the most ambitious emissions cuts possible. This partnership will also include the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ) Working Group, which includes an initial set of financial institutions including Bank of America, Citi, Deutsche Bank, HSBC, Macquarie, MUFG, and Standard Chartered, and it will also leverage the expertise, resources, and operations of the multilateral development banks.
3. The partnership aims to develop a comprehensive investment plan (JETP Investment and Policy Plan) aiming at the following joint targets for the power sector, which include on-grid and off-grid power, and captive power systems for industrial uses:
   1. Peaking power sector emissions by 2030 at an absolute value of no more than 290 MT CO2 (down from a 2030 baseline value of 357 MT CO2) and immediately declining thereafter on an ambitious trajectory and achieving net zero emissions in the power sector by 2050, including with the accelerated retirement of coal plants, conditional on international support.
   2. Accelerating the deployment of renewable energy so that renewable energy comprises at least 34% of all power generation by 2030.
   3. Accelerating, with IPG support, the early retirement of coal-fired power plants as prioritized and identified by the Indonesian Government in the JETP Investment and Policy Plan as a necessary element to achieve the above targets.
   4. Accelerating the widespread deployment of energy efficiency and electrification tools, technologies, and reforms, including through standards to access the resulting energy and cost savings with support from the IPG.
   5. Accelerating the development of a vibrant and competitive local industry in renewable energy and energy efficiency, as appropriate and as feasible, by investing in local technological capacity and knowledge in collaboration with IPG.
   6. Delivering a just energy transition by developing a robust plan, in consultation with relevant stakeholders, to identify and support the segments of Indonesia’s population most vulnerable to potential negative impacts of the transition, workers and all societal groups with a special focus on women, youth, and vulnerable populations that earn a living in the coal industry or in jobs connected with the coal industry.
   7. Restricting the development of captive coal fired power plants in accordance with the Perpres 112/ 2022 and collaborating to find and implement potential zero-emission and renewable solutions for power generation facilities outside Jawa-Bali, including captive power facilities, provided that the solutions are affordable (priced similar or better than the non-renewable alternatives), reliable (can provide base load), accessible, and timely (can be deployed within similar or better timeline than the non-renewable alternatives) to balance the imperative of industrial development and economic growth of Indonesia with the commitment on net zero. 
   8. Freezing the existing pipeline of planned on-grid coal-fired power plants included in the current Rencana Usaha Penyediaan Tenaga Listrik (RUPTL) for 2021-2030, and reaffirming a full moratorium on any new on-grid coal power generation capacity in accordance with Presidential Decree on Renewable Energy (Perpres 112/ 2022).
   9. Aligning local content requirements with the roadmap for domestic renewable manufacturing capability in order to achieve the renewable goals in RUPTL and to scale renewable deployment to support robust domestic renewable energy manufacturing capability. The progression of local content requirements should take into account the size and scale of a viable domestic market.
   10. Mobilizing sufficient capital to achieve the targets through a combination of instruments that may include grants, concessional loans, market-rate loans, guarantees, and technical assistance some of which will be used to de-risk and catalyze private investments.
   11. Mobilizing $20 billion over the next three to five years through the partnership, of which $10 billion will be mobilized by the IPG members. Working closely with the Government of Indonesia and the IPG, the GFANZ Working Group members will work to mobilize and facilitate at least $10 billion in private finance in support of an ambitious transition path and investment plan. Private sector finance will be subject to catalytic public finance and with collective ambition by all parties, including enhanced engagement by the multilateral development banks, the public sector finance has the potential to generate significantly more in private finance than the amount above. These resources are subject to concurrence on the JETP Investment and Policy Plan that includes a competitively tendered pipeline of projects, including continued progress in improvements to the country’s policy and enabling environment, in line with budgetary procedures and terms, responsive to progress by the Indonesian Government and relevant actors, and transparently reported. The continuation of the partnership is expected to be contingent on no new coal power capacity for instances where timely, zero-emissions, affordable, and reliable alternatives are available, including developing a strategy to avoid new captive coal and to successfully identify investments in renewable electricity supply as alternatives for all new captive projects.
4. The Joint Statement constitutes political commitments of the Government of Indonesia and the members of the International Partners Group and is not a binding international agreement.
