This document discusses Indonesia's plans to implement an emission cap and trade system in the power sector. Key points include:
- Indonesia has committed to reducing emissions by 29-41% by 2030 under the Paris Agreement and plans to use carbon pricing mechanisms like carbon taxes and trading to help meet this goal.
- The Directorate General of Electricity is conducting an emission trading system trial in 2021-2024 before implementing a mandatory program in 2025. The trial focuses on power plants and uses a cap-and-trade approach.
- Simulation results from the 2021 trial showed over 42,000 tons of CO2 transferred between power plants and 4,500 tons offset through international carbon credits.
- Indonesia also plans to

EMISSION TRADING SYSTEM (ETS) TRIAL IN POWER SECTOR
According to article 52 Government Regulation No. 46/2017
on Economic Instrument of Environment, emission trading
must be implemented maximum in Nov, 2024. For preparing
the mandatory ETS in 2024, starting this year Directorate
General of Electricity conducting ETS trial (voluntary
scheme). ETS trial will be accordance with Presidential
Regulation on Carbon Pricing implementation to achieve NDC

PSBE OFFSET
1. Offset can apply to unit of power plant with a positive initial carbon balance as well as to unit of power plant with a
negativeinitial carbon balance;
2. Offsets from renewable energy mitigation actions that have carbon credit certificates from mechanisms such as ICER,
CDM, VCS/VERRA, Plan Vivo, JCM, Gold Standard and others, with a Commercial Operation Date (COD) in 2011 or later.
3. Unit of power plant needs to submit a certificate of cancellation from the above mechanism in accordance with the
number of carboncredits (tons of CO2);
4. Mitigation actions that do not yet have a carbon credit certificate can be registered in the Emission Reduction Book (PPE)
with the following conditions:
a. units of power plant COD in 2011or later
b. mitigationactions included Wind Power Plant,Hydro power plant, Solar power plant (on-grid and off-grid)andEnergy
efficient public street lighting (PJUHE)
c. emission reduction is the result of emission reduction achievement in 2020
d. verification and validation by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR)
e. PPE will be issued by the MEMR for PSBE2021

Implementationof Carbon Tax
01 Carbon tax implementation is carried out by taking into
account the carbon tax roadmap set by the Government
and/or the carbon market roadmap.
02 The subject of the carbon tax is an individual or entity
that buys containing carbon and/or engages in activities
that produce carbon emissions.
03 Carbon tax revenues can be allocated for climate change
and regulated by or based on a Government Regulation
after being agreed by the Indonesian Parliament in the
preparation ofthe Draft State Budget.
04 The carbon tax is set at a minimum of IDR 30.00 per kg
CO2e.

IMPLEMENTATION OF CAP AND TAX MECHANISM IN CAP AND TRADE
Entities emitting emission above the cap are required to
purchase an emission permit (EP) from the entity under the cap
or purchase an emission reduction certificate (ERC/carbon
offset).
If entity cannot purchase emission permit (EP) or
emission reduction certificate (ERC/carbon offset) to
compensate entire its emission above the cap, the
remaining emissions will be chargedwith carbon tax.

SIMULATION OF CAP & TRADE and CAP & TAX
Surplus/Deficit = Emission quota allocation– CO2 Emissi
= (Cap x GEP) – CO2 Emission
= ((0.918 x 6.100.000)) – 5.800.000
= - 200.200 tCO2 (deficit)
Unit of Coal Fired PowerPlant (CFPP)
Capacity = 800 MW
EmissionCap = 0,918
Gross Electricity Production (GEP)= 6.100.000 MWh
CO2 Emission = 5.800.000 tCO2
Unit of CFPP havedeficit 200.200 tCO2
In order to meet the cap, the unit should pay approximately USD 400.400, (if unit
doing trading andcapwith the carbonprice andcarbontax for 2 USD/tonCO2
Unit of CFPP
If the unit of power plants only conducts trading & offset
activities of 100,200 tCO2, then there is still a remaining
emission deficit of 100,000 tCO2, which will be charged
with carbontax.
