Indonesia: Central Java IPP
This series showcases how the World Bank Group supports the development and implementation of public-private partnerships. This support comes in the form of public sector loans, private sector finance, sector and transaction advice, guarantees, and output-based aid.
The demand for electricity in Indonesia has grown quickly in the last decade. Facing greater consumption by industry, increasing residential demand, and a push to bring electricity to rural areas, the government aims to dramatically expand power generation and transmission capacity. In 2005, it designated a proposed new coal-fired power plant in Central Java as a top priority and moved to implement new regulations to attract private investment. IFC was transaction advisor in this project, which will use the cleanest commercial coal-fired generation technology available. The agreement was signed in October 2011.
