Indonesia
In 2020-2021, in response to the COVID 19 pandemic, Indonesia has committed at least USD 6.78 billion to supporting different energy types through new or amended policies, according to official government sources and other publicly available information. These public money commitments include:
- At least USD 6.54 billion for unconditional fossil fuels through 5 policies (4 quantified and 1 unquantified)
- No public money commitments identified for conditional fossil fuels
- Some public money committed for unconditional clean energy (4 policies with the value of public money unquantified)
- At least USD 240.02 million for conditional clean energy through 1 policy (1 quantified)
- Some public money committed for other energy (5 policies with the value of public money unquantified)
By energy type, Indonesia committed at least USD 3.18 billion to oil and gas (at least USD 3.18 billion to unconditional oil and gas).
In addition, no public money commitments identified for coal.
Further, no public money commitments identified for hydrogen based on fossil fuels.
Finally, Indonesia committed at least USD 3.12 billion to multiple fossil fuels (at least USD 3.12 billion to unconditional multiple fossil fuels).
A considerably larger amount of public money committed to supporting the economy and people of Indonesia through monetary and fiscal policies in response to the crisis may also benefit different elements of the energy sector. However, these values are not available from official legislation and statements and therefore are not included in the database. Meanwhile, in addition to monetary and fiscal measures, the database lists other policies and regulations that can also provide benefits to producers and consumers of different energy types.
These public money commitments are additional to many other government policies that had existed to support different energy types before the COVID19 pandemic.
