SECTION A. Description of project activity


A.1. Purpose and general description of project activity
>>
The Project Lumut Balai Unit 3 4 PT. Pertamina Geothermal Energy (hereafter referred to as Lumut
Balai II1 or the Project) developed by PT. Pertamina Geothermal Energy (PGE), hereafter referred to as
the Project Developer, is a geothermal power plant in South Sumatera, Indonesia (hereafter referred to as
the Host Country). The Projects net installed capacity is 2 x 55 MW2, while its total gross power
output will be 2 x 58 MW. An estimated power generation of 867 GWh per annum (based on the
predicted load factor of 90% multiplied with the net installed capacity) will be supplied to the grid
operator. The Project is a Greenfield project because there have not been any major activity e.g. well
drilling dedicated to supply steam to Lumut Balai II.
The key purpose of the project is to utilise the geothermal resources of the mountain areas surrounding
Lumut Balai to generate electricity to be transmitted to the Sumatera Interconnected grid (hereafter
referred to as the Grid) through the Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PT. PLN (Persero)), state-owned
electricity company) interconnection point in the Lumut Balai geothermal project area. In the absence of
the proposed project activity, electricity would be supplied by the generation mix in the Sumatera
interconnected grid. The project activity will reduce total emissions in the Sumatera grid by supplying
green renewable electricity from geothermal resources in the Lumut Balai geothermal field, instead of
utilizing typical power generation with more carbon intensive technology. Total GHG emission
reductions for the first crediting period (7 years) is estimated to be 4,072,488 tCO2e, with annual average
amount of 581,784 tCO2e.
The project is contributing to sustainable development of the Host Country3. Specifically, the project:

Increasing community development and corporate social responsibility at Lumut Balai geothermal
field, as this project shows great improvement to existing geothermal field operation (social
sustainability)
Enhances the local investment environment and therefore improves the local economy, increases
employment opportunities as 30 40 persons will be permanently employed for the project activity
operation, another 40 persons will be employed for the Lumut Balai geothermal field, and the
construction of the project provides employment in the construction sector (economic sustainability)
Diversifies the sources of electricity generation, which is important for meeting growing energy
demands and facilitates the transition away from diesel and coal-supplied electricity generation
(environmental sustainability)
Makes greater use of geothermal renewable energy generation resources for sustainable energy
production with leading local contractor (technology sustainability)

Lumut Balai II is Lumut Balai Unit 3 4 geothermal power plant that is owned and operated by PT. Pertamina
Geothermal Energy. The Lumut Balai II is distinct and independent from Lumut Balai I (the power plant Lumut
Balai Unit 1 2 geothermal) that is now under request for registration process.
2
As per technical specification documentation that was sent to PLN in October 2010, 2 x 58 MW is Lumut Balai
IIs power output or total gross installed capacity as per turbines nameplate. While 2 x 55 MW is the net installed
capacity, which the project developer used in the Power Purchase Agreement with PLN dated on 11 March 2011.
The difference between power output or total installed capacity and net installed capacity, which is 2 x 3 MW, will
be covering power plant auxiliaries (referred also as the project developers internal consumption).

The Project will utilise state of the art but known technology in electricity generation and transmission.
The geothermal steam turbine generator systems and other equipments e.g. cooling system must be
imported. All supporting equipments used in the Project are produced domestically, whereby the project
developer is experienced in handling and operating equipment of this nature.
Steam collected from the Lumut Balai geothermal field is sent to the Lumut Balai II power plant, where it
is separated from condensate and fed into steam turbine generator systems (direct steam expansion).
Returning condensate from the turbine and steam separator is then collected and re-injected back into the
geothermal field area. Electricity produced is sold to PLN.

B.4. Establishment and description of baseline scenario


>>
Lumut Balai II power plant or the Project is an independent, distinct power plant from Lumut Balai I
power plant. Even though both power plants share the same Lumut Balai geothermal field, each of them
has a separate steam supply system with a separated steam header. Under the Power Purchase Agreement
(PPA) between PGE and PLN, Lumut Balai II supplies generated electricity to the Sumatera
interconnected grid. Since this project does not modify or retrofit existing electricity generation facilities
the baseline scenario is the following:
Electricity delivered to the grid by the project would have otherwise been generated by the operation of
grid-connected power plants and by the addition of new generation sources, as reflected in the latest exante combined margin (CM) value, which is available at the time of validation starts, in Table 3.

In the absence of the project electricity will continue to be generated by the existing generation mix
operating in the Sumatera grid.
Three realistic and credible alternatives to the project activity are considered to investigate the baseline:

Alternative 1:
The proposed project activity implemented without CDM financing, i.e. the construction of a new
geothermal power plant with net installed capacity of 110 MW connected to the local grid, implemented
without considering CDM revenues. This alternative is in compliance with current laws and regulations of
Indonesia. However, according to the investment analysis in section B.5, the proposed project activity
without CDM revenues is economically unattractive, and therefore is not a realistic baseline scenario. For
a full assessment, please see section B.5.
Alternative 2:
Continuation of the current situation, i.e. electricity will continue to be generated by the existing
generation mix operating in the grid, with capacity additions as planned. This alternative will be
considered as the baseline scenario.
Alternative 3:
Construction of a thermal power plant with the same installed capacity or the same annual power output.
This alternative is in compliance with the existing laws and regulations in Indonesia; there are no laws or
regulations prohibiting the construction of such a thermal power plant (gas, diesel or coal-fired power
plant). Out of these power plants, gas power plants will have technical barriers, since there is no gas
pipeline constructed in the Lumut Balai mountain area. Construction of a diesel power plant will face less
barriers to implement, however, with the increase in fuel price, it is expected that the operational cost of
such a power plant will be very high; thus the generation cost per kWh is expected to be very high. The
construction of a coal-fired power plant could also be considered as a potential baseline. Thus both the
continuation of the current situation (Alternative 2) and the construction of a coal-fired power plant
(Alternative 3) are possible baseline alternatives. In order to be conservative, the baseline scenario with
the lowest emissions is selected for comparison; therefore alternative 3 will not be considered further.
Alternative 4:
Construction of renewable power generation with the same installed capacity or the same annual power
output. This alternative is in compliance with the existing laws and regulations in Indonesia. However it
is not plausible. PGE has no competencies in construction and operation of other renewable power
generation (hydro, wind, solar etc.). Hence, this is not a plausible alternative to the project owner.
In summary, two alternatives remain from this analysis, which will be examined in more detail in section
B.5:
Alternative 1
The proposed project activity implemented without CDM financing, i.e. the construction of a new
geothermal power plant with net installed capacity of 110 MW connected to the local grid, implemented
without considering CDM revenues.

Alternative 2
Continuation of the current situation, i.e. electricity will continue to be generated by the existing
generation mix operating in the grid, with capacity additions as planned.
B.5. Demonstration of additionality
>>
The following steps are used to demonstrate the additionality of the project according to the latest version
of the Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality agreed by the Executive Board for the
assessment of alternatives please refer to B.4 :
The start of the crediting period of this project activity is not prior to the date of registration, however for
the assessment of additionality it is important to note that the CDM was taken into account when
investment decisions were considered, and in the planning stages of the project.
PT. Pertamina Geothermal Energy (PGE) is a subsidiary to PT. Pertamina (Persero), incorporated in
December 2006 as a spin-off from Pertamina Upstream Division. Its core business is geothermal steam
exploration and production (E&P), and therefore selling geothermal steam to power plant owners4
currently in 2 major areas and 1 minor area. Lumut Balai I and II, which are located on the same Lumut
Balai geothermal field are distinct and having separate steam systems coming from different identified
wells. Both Lumut Balai I and II will be operating independently as a separate power plant even though
both are located in Lumut Balai geothermal field. The project has not started any major activities e.g. well
drilling, thus considered as a Greenfield project. Based on Lumut Balai II project plan, an estimated date
to sign the contract for the 1st well drilling is in 1 October 2012, which is then applied as the start date of
the project.

Step 1. Identification of alternatives to the project activity consistent with current laws and
regulations
Sub-step 1a. Define alternatives to the project activity:
Two remaining alternatives are considered:
Alternative 1: The proposed project activity without CDM: construction of a new geothermal power plant
with net installed capacity of 110 MW connected to the Grid, implemented without considering CDM
revenues.
Alternative 2: Continuation of the current situation. Electricity will continue to be generated by the
existing generation mix operating in the Grid.
Sub-step 1b. Enforcement of applicable laws and regulations:
All alternatives are in compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements of Indonesia.
STEP 2. Investment Analysis

UNFCCC/CCNUCC

CDM Executive Board

Page 11

According to the Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality, three options can be
applied to conduct the investment analysis. These are the simple cost analysis (Option I), the investment
comparison analysis (Option II) and the benchmark analysis (Option III).
Sub-step 2a. Determine appropriate analysis method
Since this project will generate financial / economic benefits other than CDM-related income, through the
sale of generated electricity, Option I (Simple Cost Analysis) is not applicable.
According to the Additionality Tool, if the alternative to the CDM project activity does not include
investments of comparable scale to the project, then Option III must be used.
Given that the Project Developer does not have alternative and comparable investment choices, the
benchmark analysis (Option III) is more appropriate than investment comparison analysis (Option II) for
assessing the financial attractiveness of the project activity.
Sub-step 2b. Option III Application of benchmark analysis
The likelihood of the development of this project, as opposed to the continued generation of electricity by
the existing generation mix operating in the grid (i.e. Alternative 2 the baseline) will be determined by
comparing the project IRR without CDM financing (Alternative 1) with a suitable benchmark that
considers the specific context in which the proposed project activity takes place.
According to the paragraph 13 of the Guidelines on the assessment of investment analysis in the case of
projects, which could be developed by an entity other than the project participant, the benchmark should
be based on publicly available data sources. The project activity could have been developed by any other
entity, as long as this entity had the authorization to do it. This authorization can be transferred from one
company to another, as happened to the project in the past5. For this reason the benchmark has been duly
derived from publicly available data sources.
An appropriate benchmark value represents the minimum required return, which the project should earn
to justify its financial viability. It has been determined according to the Tool for demonstration and
assessment of additionality (hereinafter Tool) and the Guidance on the assessment of investment
analysis (hereinafter Investment Guidance). The benchmark has been derived from government bond
rates, increased by a suitable risk premium to reflect private investment in a particular industry; those
parameters are based on information that is publicly available and standard in the market (Tool, sub-step
2b, para.6a; Investment Guidance para.12). The risk premium applied reflects the risk of the project
activity being assessed as required by the Investment Guidance (para.15) but does not relate to an
internal benchmark that would apply an individuals perception of risk involved in the project activity or
individual profit expectations (Investment Guidance, para.13). The weighted average cost of capital
(WACC) of the project activity is used as most appropriate benchmark to compare with the projects
return (Investment Guidance, para.12 in combination with para.14 WACC is an appropriate benchmark
for a project IRR). The selected approach is widely accepted as a suitable approach among financial
managers to take investment decisions.
Financial data used in the benchmark determination is obtained from Indonesian or US long-term
government bond rates, which are increased by an appropriate risk premium that expresses the additional
(market and financing) risk of equity investments over returns on riskless assets. The Investment
Guidance requires project participant to risk-adjust the benchmark according to the specific risk profile
of the project activity, i.e. its market and financing risk (para.14). All information used in this financial

Cost of debt value refers to investment loan rate of foreign and
joint bank in December 2009.
Lowest rate between an Indonesia government bond or US long

decision and for a duration equal to the technical lifetime of the
project activity, link: http://www.treasury.gov/resourcecenter/data-chart-center/interestrates/Pages/TextView.aspx?data=yieldYear&year=2009
The total risk premium includes an Equity Risk Premium and a
Country Risk Premium: The reason behind this premium stems
from the risk-return trade-off, in which a higher rate of return is
required to entice investors to take on riskier investments. These
are risk premiums estimates for other countries outside of the U.S
based upon the country ratings assigned by Moodys, link:

The cost of equity is determined by utilizing the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). The CAPM
defines the compensation of investors for investments taken. One part of the formula is related to the time
value of money (risk free rate) compensating for investment over a time period, the other part represents
the risks for investment. This is calculated by taking a risk measure, so called beta (). The beta compares
the returns of the asset to the market over a period of time and to the market premium. The formula
correctly applied is as following:
Total Cost of Equity
Re

= Risk Free Rate + [Total Betalevered x Total Risk Premium]


= Rf + [Total lev x RP]

Total lev=Total Betaunlevered x [1 + ((1-T) x (D/E))]


Where:
Re: Cost of equity
Rf: Risk free rate
Total lev: Total Beta levered
RP: Total Risk Premium
T: Tax rate applied in the proposed project activity
D/E; Debt/Equity ratio
The applied model is internationally known7 and applied in making investment decision.
Explanation of input values to the Cost of Equity
Rf: 4.08 %
The risk free rate is determined from a 1-year average data (January to December 2009) of US
government rate (long term, 30 years corresponding to the start date and the expected lifetime of the
proposed project activity). These bond rates were available at the time of making the investment decision.
The data for the Risk free rate is sourced from US Central Bank webpage8, and the value of the Risk free
rate can be found in the Risk free rate tab in Lumut Balai II ER-IRR-WACC calculation spreadsheet.
Total unlevered: 1.95
The unlevered total beta value is calculated based on individual company information in emerging
markets for power sector information, as provided by Prof. Aswath Damodaran, a professor at Stern
University. Data used in the calculation from January to December 2009 is the latest data available at the
time of investment decision.
The unlevered total beta is calculated from beta value of each company in small Asia region (exclude
China and India), being unlevered with available company data for Tax rate and Book D/E ratio
values, and subsequently the formula for Cash-adjusted Beta is applied to the resulting unlevered beta
corrected for cash (with available company data for Cash/Firm value), according to formula below9:
Unlevered Beta = company Beta / [1 + ((1Tax rate) x (Debt/Equity))]
Unlevered Beta corrected for cash = Unlevered Beta / (1 Cash/ Firm Value)
The value for each company unlevered Beta corrected for cash is then divided by available company
data for Correlation with Market, to produce unlevered Total Beta corrected for cash.

Unlevered Total Beta = unlevered Beta corrected for cash / Correlation with Market
Finally, average value for unlevered Total Beta is calculated from all companies in the Power sector and
Small Asia region. The value of the unlevered Total Beta can be found in the Beta unlevered tab in
Lumut Balai II ER-IRR-WACC calculation spreadsheet.
RP: 9.00%
The total risk premium10 includes an Equity Risk Premium and a Country Risk Premium: The reason
behind this premium stems from the risk-return trade-off, in which a higher rate of return is required to
entice investors to take on riskier investments. These are risk premiums estimates for other countries
outside of the U.S based upon the country ratings assigned by Moodys. Risk premium value is taken from
period of January to December 2009, which can be found in the Country premiums tab in Lumut Balai
II ER-IRR-WACC calculation spreadsheet.
Cost of Equity as per CAPM approach:
Re
= Rf + [Total lev x RP]
= 4.08% + [3.24 x 9%]
= 33.24 %
Cost of Debt: 3.98 %
The interest rates / the lending rates statistics data by the Indonesian Central Bank (Bank Indonesia) are
used as the cost of debt to calculate the WACC. The cost of debt has therefore been taken from the
official data source. The Bank Indonesia11 can be considered as credible and suitable data source for the
purpose of the determination of the debt cost. The value corresponds to the lowest and most conservative
investment loan rate in 2009, which refers to investment loan rate of foreign and joint bank in December
2009 (3.98 %, foreign and joint banks investment loan, from Table I.27 Interest Rate of US Dollar Loans
by Group of Banks).
Geothermal tax rate: 34 %
The reference used for Geothermal tax rate is the Presidential Decree which is a government regulation
according to which the Geothermal projects are obliged to pay the 34% Tax, as per the Presidential
Decree no. 49 / 1991. This tax rate has to be applied for geothermal projects in Indonesia. This tax rate
was valid at the time of decision-making.
Applying the above mentioned formulas and input values; the post-tax WACC is calculated as 17.92 %.
This value is used as the project IRR benchmark.
Sub-step 2c. Calculation and comparison of financial indicators
Upon obtaining the WACC, a financial analysis with Tax calculation of the project activity was carried
out. Table 5 shows the input data as well as the key parameters used in the financial analysis. Every input
value had a reasonable and reliable source, and was backed up by third party information, showing the
reasonableness of the numbers applied, as follows:
Electricity Tariff
PGE expected to be able to sell generated electricity to PLN at the price of US$ 90 / MWh, in the
Feasibility Study for Lumut Balai II power plant development. However, in March 2011 the Power

Purchase Agreement (PPA) was finally signed with significantly lower price than expected, US$ 75.3 /
MWh. The highest price is used for PDD calculation, giving more conservative results to the IRR
calculation.
Annual operating costs
The applied value is taken from the Feasibility Study: Upstream (steam field) O&M: US$ 30,000 / MW
and Power Plant O&M: US$ 50,000 / MW, this is equivalent to US$ 8,800,000 / year or US$ 10.15 /
MWh. Specifically for Power Plant O & M costs (US$ 5,500,000 / year or US$ 6.3 / MWh) are
significantly lower than the geothermal power plant O&M costs found in the study published by PT.
Indonesia Power, an Indonesian geothermal power plant operator12, and considerably lower than in
international literature13. However, the O & M cost does not yet include make-up wells maintenance cost
in year 4, 10, 16 and 22 as per Table 6.

Sub-step 2d. Sensitivity analysis


A sensitivity analysis was undertaken using assumptions that are conservative from the point of view of
analysing additionality, i.e. the best-case conditions for the project IRR were assumed. It was supposed

that the Project experienced a) no change of original assumptions; b) increasing revenue (increase of
electricity tariff or operating hours); c) capital costs decreased; d) operation and maintenance costs
decreased. The results are shown in the table below. Deviations of 10% have been taken into account in
the above decisive assumptions. The summary table is shown below.

The variation in key parameters above were considered to be conservative because the parameters were
not expected to vary by more than this amount (and are in fact not expected to vary in favour of the
project at all) for the following reasons:
A) Project revenue is unlikely to increase that much. Instead, final signed PPA price was 16 % lower
than expected when PGE decided to develop the project. The PPA contract signed between PGE
and PLN is unlikely to be revised upward during contract period, increasing the electricity price.
It is not a common practice in the country neither in the sector. Revenues could be increased only
by increasing the hours of operation. Assuming an increase in electricity generation through an
increase of the overall load factor above, the IRR would increase but still below the benchmark.
Even this increase is difficult to accomplish given the engineering constraints of a geothermal
power plant, which requires regular and sufficient maintenance to ensure safe operation and
performance over the lifetime of the equipment. Increasing the load factor above 90 % would
jeopardise power plant maintenance. Therefore increasing revenues by 12.30 % to breach the
benchmark is not possible to happen.
B) Investment costs are unlikely to decrease the amount necessary to make the project profitable by
the time of decision-making. The short-term trend of investment costs is to continue this
escalation. In addition to that, an increase of raw material and fuel price globally results in
upward price pressure for equipment. To further justify that total investment cost will unlikely to
decrease is a higher average cost of well drillings that have been developed by PGE at Lumut
Balai geothermal field for Lumut Balai I geothermal power plant compare to PGE assumption in
the Feasibility Study of Lumut Balai II geothermal power plant. The average cost of already
drilled wells in Lumut Balai I geothermal power plant is 4.3 Mill USD per well, while cost
assumption used in the Feasibility Study of Lumut Balai II geothermal power plant is only 4 Mill
USD per well. In addition to that, as a comparison with other similar geothermal projects that also
consider upstream and downstream costs, which are now under validation such as Rantau
Dedap14 (USD 3,434/kW), Gunung Rajabasa15 (USD 2,986/kW), Liki Pinangawan Muaralaboh16
(USD 3,592/kW), Lumut Balai II (USD 2,512/kW) investment cost is much more lower. Besides
that, based on International Energy Agency study in 201017, Lumut Balai II cost per kW is lower
than their average indicative cost, which is USD 4,000/kW. Therefore decreasing investment

Page 17

costs by 12.15 % to breach the benchmark is quite unlikely to happen for Lumut Balai II as the
investment cost is already very low.
C) Operation and maintenance costs including make-up wells are also unlikely to significantly
decrease during the operation period. The costs presented on the feasibility study include only
fixed costs based on the installed capacity of the equipment. The fixed costs include the Power
Plant O&M and the upstream costs on the geothermal field (US$ 30 / kW for upstream costs and
US$ 50 / kW for power plant O&M, totalizing US$ 8,800,000 / year). Even with decreasing
operation and maintenance costs by 89.50% the project remains still unattractive.
These results show that even under very favourable, although unreasonable, circumstances the Project
IRR is still not higher than the benchmark for similar investments under similar conditions in the host
country. Therefore we can conclude that the Best Case IRR is not financially attractive, and the proposed
project without CDM (alternative 1 Baseline Scenario) overall is also not financially attractive.
STEP 3. Barrier Analysis
Barrier analysis was not performed for this project activity.
STEP 4. Common Practice Analysis
Sub-step 4a. Analyse other activities similar to the proposed project activity
Indonesia is defined as the geographical scope for the common practice analysis, and all geothermal
power plants operational at the time of decision-making are considered in the analysis. Indonesia has
significant geothermal energy potential due to the volcanic zone, which stretches along the southern coast
of Sumatera and Java. Geological Agency conducted surveys to have an insight of geothermal potential in
all location in Indonesia. Until November 2007, a total of 27,441 MW geothermal potential calculated
from 256 prospects area with 62.1% of them are still on preliminary survey stage, while 32.04% on
detailed survey stage, 3.13% are ready to be developed and only 2.73% are producing18. Total geothermal
potential until November 2007 is 27,441 MWe, of this potential, 13,273 MWe are located in Sumatera
Island, 9,556 MWe are scattered across Java Island and remaining 4,612 MWe geothermal potential are
divided between other Islands19.
Despite this potential, however, only a small proportion of the geothermal resource has been exploited.
The proportion of grid electricity coming from geothermal in Indonesia is very low, accounting for less
than 5% of electricity generation in Indonesia in 201020. The geothermal capacity addition of 1% to total
generation in the last 9 years, all were developed as CDM projects. The reasons for this are generally low
rate of return and increased risks associated with geothermal plants when compared to other technologies,
but economic uncertainties also play a role. Prior to the 1997-1998 financial crisis, the Indonesian
government awarded contracts for 11 geothermal projects that would have had a generating capacity of
3,417 MW21. Due to the tight fiscal constraints imposed by the crisis and the political change that
followed, 7 of the above projects were suspended.

All geothermal power plants operational at the time of decision-making are considered in the analysis. By
201022 , geothermal electric power generation capacity in Indonesia was 1,187.3 MWe. This figure
includes currently operating facilities at Sibayak (12 MWe) in the Sumatera grid. This also represents just
4.3 % of the estimated geothermal potential of 27,441 MW23.

Sub-step 4b. Discuss any similar options that are occurring


Based on the above step, there is no activity similar to the proposed project activity in the defined region.
It is thus concluded that the realistic baseline scenario is the continuation of the current situation, where
electricity will continue to be generated by the existing generation mix operating in the grid, with capacity
additions as planned (Alternative 2).
Based on the Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality (version 6), the applicable
geographical area covers the entire country of Indonesia. The steps outlined in the Tool is followed:

Step 1: calculate applicable output range as +/-50% of the design output or capacity of the
proposed project activity
Outcome of Step 1: The project activity has an installed capacity of 110 MW, therefore the output range
is 55 165 MW.
Step 2: In the applicable geographical area, identify all plants that deliver the same output or
capacity, within the applicable output range calculated in Step 1, as the proposed project activity
and have started commercial operation before the start date of the project. Note their number Nall.

Step 3: Within plants identified in Step 2, identify those that apply technologies different that the
technology applied in the proposed project activity. Note their number Ndiff
With reference to the definition set in the Guidelines on Common Practice, different technologies are
technologies that deliver the same output and differ by at least one of the following:
(i) Energy source/ fuel
(ii) Feed stock
(iii) Size of installation
a. Micro
b. Small
c. Large
(iv) Investment climate in the date of investment decision, inter-alia
a. Access to technology
b. Subsidies or other financial flows
c. Promotional policies
d. Legal regulations
(v) Other features, inter alia:
a. Unit cost of output
For the projects listed above, the first significance difference is energy source/fuel. Power plants that are
fuelled by gas, diesel or combined cycle gas are different with the proposed project activity that is using
geothermal energy to generate electricity.
While for the second significant difference related to geothermal power plants that have been built can be
attributed to the legal regulations changes. All of power plants listed commissioned prior to the two
important milestones took place in electricity generation and geothermal power plant development
sectors. These are the Electricity sector regulation (Electricity Law No 20/2002) and Geothermal Energy
no. 27/2003. Law on Geothermal Energy no.27/2003 allows private companies to develop geothermal
projects based on a tendering process45.

Based on Electricity Law No 20/2002, the Government of Indonesia accommodates a long-term future
trend towards an open market, based on ideal conditions for maintaining a multi buyer-multi seller
system. The electricity supply business was unbundled into subsystems such as generation, transmission,
distribution, exchange and market operation, and last mile (or retail) sales. The Government also
established in 2003 a regulator, the Electricity Market Supervisory Body, EMSB, to regulate and monitor
the electricity market to ensure fair competition and promote consumer interests. The new oil and gas law
passed in October 2001 removed geothermal energy from the umbrella of oil and gas regulation, and
precipitated the Indonesia Geothermal Law No. 27/2003. Therefore, projects developed pre-2003, which
are not considered to be developed under a similar regulatory environment or legal regulations, are not
comparable with the proposed project activity.
The difference in energy source/fuel is applicable to power plants no. 1-8 and 16-67 (listed in Table 10
above). On the other hand, those two regulations mentioned above are applicable to power plants no. 915. This results in
Ndiff = 67
Step 4: Calculate factor F=1-Ndiff/Nall representing the share of plants using technology similar to
the technology used in the proposed project activity in all plants that deliver the same output or
capacity as the proposed project activity.
F = 1 67/67 = 0 and
Nall Ndiff = 67 67 = 0
Since the factor F is less than 0.2 and Nall Ndiff is less than 3, the proposed project activity is not a
common practice.
Conclusion
All steps in the additionality assessment above conclude that the project is additional.

However, for the proposed project activity, Sumatera EF Grid is re-calculated as per Tool to calculate the
emission factor for an electricity system version 2.2.1 by using available data from the calculation
published by the Indonesian DNA. The detailed calculations are presented in the Appendix 4.
Project Emissions
Project emissions for geothermal power plants are calculated as follows:

where:
PEy
PEFF,y
PEGP,y

Project emissions in year y (tCO2e)


Project emissions from fossil fuel consumption in year y (tCO2)
Project emissions from the operation of geothermal power plants due to the release of noncondensable gases in year y (tCO2e)

a) Fossil Fuel Combustion (PEFF,y)


PEFF,y is calculated as per the latest version of the Tool to calculate project or leakage CO2 emissions
from fossil fuel combustion as follows:

where:
PEFF,y
PEFC,j,y

Project emissions from fossil fuel consumption in year y (tCO2)

(tCO2e/tCH4)
Quantity of steam produced in year y (t steam)

Lumut Balai II utilises a direct steam expansion turbine from the geothermal field steam supply. It has no
supplementary firing for additional steam supply. Estimated amount of NCG is 0.89467023 % of steam
weight for CO2 and 0.00097278 % of steam weight for CH4.
Leakage Emissions
According to ACM0002, the leakage of the proposed project is not considered. No leakage is expected.

Baseline Emissions
The baseline emissions are to be calculated as follows:

Where:
BEy
EGPJ,y
EFgrid,CM,y

Baseline emissions in year y (tCO2)


Quantity of net electricity generation that is produced and fed into the grid as a result
of the implementation of the CDM project activity in year y (MWh)
Combined margin CO2 emission factor for grid connected power generation in year y

electricity system (tCO2/MWh)

Calculation of EGPJ,y
The calculation of EGPJ,y is different for (a) greenfield plants, (b) retrofits and replacements, and (c)
capacity additions.
Lumut Balai II is a greenfield geothermal power plant, therefore option (a) is to be used here:
(a) Greenfield renewable energy power plants
If the project activity is the installation of a new grid-connected renewable power plant/unit at a site
where no renewable power plant was operated prior to the implementation of the project activity, then:

This section details the steps taken to monitor on a regular basis the GHG emissions reductions from the
Lumut Balai II Geothermal power plant in Indonesia.
The Monitoring Plan for this project has been developed to ensure that from the start, the project is well
organised in terms of the collection and archiving of complete and reliable data.
1. Monitoring organisation
Prior to the start of the crediting period, the organisation of the monitoring team will be established. Clear
roles and responsibilities will be assigned to all staff and the power plant manager involved in the CDM
project, who will have the overall responsibility for the monitoring system on this project, ensuring the
trained staff perform the monitoring duties and that where trained monitoring staff are absent, the
integrity of the monitoring system is maintained by other trained staff. Initial training will be conducted
and regular check performed to ensure adequacy of monitoring data.

responsibility regarding the CDM monitoring process. The CDM manager cooperates with on-site CDM
coordinator and collects all the monitored data required for the CDM. Monthly reports are prepared for
the power plant manager that has the overall quality control.
2. Monitoring equipment and installation
Metering of Electricity Supplied to the Grid
This electricity meter will be the revenue meter that measures the quantity of electricity that the project
will be paid for. As this meter provides the main CDM measurement, it will be the key part of the
verification process. This meter is located at the interconnection point of Lumut Balai II geothermal
power plant.
To ensure maximum availability of CDM data and to introduce quality controls of the CDM data, a crosscheck meter will be installed in addition to the revenue meter. This meter will also be located at the
interconnection point of Lumut Balai II geothermal power plant. Both revenue and cross-check meters
will be measuring the electricity exported and imported from and to the project

Electricity meters will meet the relevant local standards at the time of installation. Before the installation
of the meters, it will be factory calibrated by the manufacturer. Records of the meter (type, make, model
and calibration documentation) will be retained in the quality control system on-site.
Electricity measurements will be taken in accordance with PPA or SOP signed between PGE and PLN or
other documents, which updates and replaces this SOP. In case of meter malfunction, corrective
maintenance would be performed (verification, accuracy inspection, resetting or non-routine calibration).

the end of the crediting period or the last issuance of CERs for this project activity (whichever occurs
later). The Monitoring Plan has been developed to ensure that the project has robust data collection,
processing and archiving procedures.
Other data for CDM procedure will be managed by power plant operation assistant manager.
4. Document management
PGE will keep electricity sale and purchase invoices. All written documentation such as specifications,
maps, drawings, will be stored for the crediting period and two years afterwards, and be made available to
the verifier so that the reliability of the information may be checked.
The document management system will be developed to ensure adequate document control for CDM
purposes. Monitoring report and supporting workbook will be provided for verification.

SECTION D. Environmental impacts


D.1. Analysis of environmental impacts
>>
Based on the Environmental Ministry Decree no. 8 and 11 year 2006, an Environmental Impact
Assessment (EIA) has to be conducted for electric power development activities in the Exploitation and
Development of Geothermal power plants greater than 55 MW in capacity, in order to assess the
environmental impacts that will occur from these geothermal field activities, and to prepare mitigation
strategies to address impacts, if any. An EIA was completed in August 21, 2008 for the Lumut Balai II
geothermal power plant (developed by PGE), approved by the Head of Muara Enim Regency (Mayor
decree no. 758/KPTS/BLH-I/2008).
The proposal for development of Lumut Balai II geothermal power plant was presented to the
Environmental Agency Office of Muara Enim regency in order to obtain inputs from the EIA
commission. The project Developer, together with the Sriwijaya University conducted a study to develop
this Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and presented the results to the provincial EIA commission.
This commission invited stakeholders, among others the academics / university, related government
agencies of the Muara Enim regency, the Environmental Health Laboratory, etc, to provide comments and
input to the plan. During the consultation process, the stakeholders provided their comments to the
provincial EIA commission, as summarised in the letter no. 224.K/Bapdedalda-II/2008 from the
Environmental Agency Office (Bapedalda) of Muara Enim regency to the project developer.
The EIA report generally describes pre-construction, construction and operational stages to the project.
Several environmental impacts were assessed with regard to physical/chemical (ambient air, noise, air
quality), biological, and socio-economic aspects.
D.2. Environmental impact assessment
>>
The environmental impact assessment51 with regard to evaluation of significant impact and the objectives
of environment management and monitoring plan, Lumut Balai geothermal field and power plant is
feasible in terms of environmental aspect. There are a several activities which potentially producing
significant negative impact, and those need to be managed to minimize the effect of the negative impact.
In particular for the land clearing, air quality reduction, noise, and reduce of surface air quality. Besides,
there are positive impact resulted from those activities. Therefore these positive activities need to improve
to the optimize level for the community welfare and especially for the local people around the plant.

SECTION E. Local stakeholder consultation


E.1. Solicitation of comments from local stakeholders
>>
The forum was hosted by PT. Pertamina Geothermal Energy, at local elementary school building nearby
Lumut Balai PGE project office on 5 May 2011. 24 local stakeholders attended the meeting, from 22
invitations that were distributed to 2 village offices and Semende Darat Laut sub-district office. From
each village, invitations were received by the head of village, local academics, community representative
body (BPD) and women community.
The meeting was opened with a welcoming speech by Harjana, PGE, and then Arrie Tjahyo Setiawan
delivered his presentation on the climate change and Clean Development Mechanism. A question and
answer session follows, hosted by Harjana and other PGE staff members.
E.2. Summary of comments received
>>
In general, all participated stakeholders in the forum support the development of PGE Lumut Balai II
power plant project. However, there are still many questions raised regarding the CDM process itself. The
comments received from stakeholders could be categorized into two categories as follows: (1) inquiries
on the CDM process; and (2) inquiries on the Lumut Balai II geothermal power plant CDM project,
especially regarding community development.
Below are the comments received by stakeholders:
Comment 1 (C1):
Sahlan, secretary of Semende Darat Laut sub-district office
- This construction of the geothermal project has already started. Construction stopped for about four
months and restarted in April 2011 after an official permit on forest utilization was received. In the near
future, near the helipad area, more drilling activity for re-injection wells will take place.
Answer 1 (A1):
Harjana, PGE
- Thank you, your comments are noted. PT. PGE will move forward with the development of the
geothermal project
Suggestion 2 (S2):
Sudiono head of Penindaian village office
- PGE should send report of visitor or workers from outside this region to the Village Office to avoid
misperceptions from local villagers.
A2:
Made, PGE
- Thank you for your suggestion. We will assign officer to send to report soon. PGE is also continuously
enhancing its safety and security process to enter or exit the PGE project activity zone.
Question 3 (Q3):
Malison resident of Babatan village
- Some drilling activities caused water pollution in the nearby river. Please explain what will be done to
address this problem.
A3:
Made, PGE
- PGE has to comply with all environmental regulations, including those related to drilling. Detailed work
specifications and designs are available to the public. Wastewater from the project activities is treated in
a treatment pond that was built during the construction phase. It is, however, difficult to predict what is
happening underneath the ground during a drilling operation. In order to avoid any negative event, PGE

UNFCCC/CCNUCC

CDM Executive Board

Page 40

emphasizes environmental safety in the project activity area. Please do not hesitate to provide input to
PGE regarding any construction work issues so that we can follow-up and mitigate them.
S4:
Rasyid head of Babatan village office
- There have been several consultation events for PGE activities (e.g. EIA). It would be better if results
can be written down and signed to ensure that all inputs will be taken into account.
A4:
Made, PGE
- Thank you for your comments on past consultations and processes. Several points were pointed out
during those consultation events, such as environmental requirements for EIA document, permit, license
and CSR programs. The EIA document was approved and it includes environmental management and
monitoring plans. With this approval, PGE must perform and comply with environmental requirements
and regulations. PGE head office is coordinating with PGE field staff to work closely with local
communities related to CSR activities. For the CSR activities, PGE plans 0.5% up to 2 % of net operating
profit to be disbursed to the local stakeholders. In the past, PGE has performed local CSR activities such
as infrastructure improvements (e.g. road construction), which would not have occurred without PGEs
presence in the area. Currently, as a subsidiary company, PGE must coordinate with Pertamina Corporate
for any local CSR activities conducted in the area.
Q5:
Sumantri, Penindaian village representative
- Some earlier drilling activities resulted in the release of foamy wastewater that caused concern among
members of the local community. Will there be any improved living standard?
A5.1: Made, PGE
- Foamy wastewater from drilling is not man-made waste. It is natural soil from underground mixed with
water and steam, which typically occurs in geothermal sites. This natural substance should not be
considered as harmful. To treat the foamy wastewater, PGE has already collected the water and contained
it inside a blue plastic sheet. In addition, for added safety, an additional concrete pond was constructed to
retain such water.
A5.2: Syaiful, Muara Enim regency house of representative
- Water samples should be taken for analysis, and PGE should make the sample results available to the
local communities.
S6:
Indarwan, Penindaian village secretary
- PGE has explained the company CSR program for surrounding villages involves street lighting and
lighting for mosques. Those are good programs. Please also provide individual house lighting for people
within the PGE project site to improve the quality of life in the local community.
A6:
Harjana, PGE
- Thank you for your input. At this moment, PGE is only able to distribute a limited amount of lighting
that is already installed (e.g. in the street and mosque). Your suggestion is noted and will be brought to
the attention of management at both PGE and Pertamina, with the suggestion that it be incorporated into a
future CSR program after the power plant becomes operational.
E.3. Report on consideration of comments received
>>
The comments received were either questions concerning the project, or broad statements in support of
the activity. General concern on community development plan for local people nearby project area was
also raised. Several community development programmes have been performed by PGE (described in the
project EIA documents).

Please also refer to PDD Section B.4 and B.6
Sumatera Interconnected Grid Emission Factor
The data of emission factor of Sumatera grid is published by Indonesia DNA, which was calculated by
BPPT. The calculation of emission factor of Sumatera Grid was conducted based on Tool to calculate
the emission factor for an electricity system Version 02.2.1. The determination of the emission factor is
performed by following the steps below:
Step 1. Identify the relevant electricity systems.
According to PLNs actual grid structure, Sumatera grid covers NAD Province, North Sumatera Province,
Riau Province, Jambi Province, West Sumatera Province, South Sumatera Province and Lampung
Province. The project activity is located in South Sumatera province, which is covered by Sumatera
Power Grid. Thus, the relevant electric power system is Sumatera Power Grid.
Step 2. Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system (optional).
Option I is chosen in this calculation which is only grid power plants are included in it.
Step 3. Select a method to determine the operating margin (OM).
The Tool to calculate the emission factor for an electricity system Version 02.2.1 offers four methods to
calculate the operating margin (OM):
a.
b.
c.
d.

Simple OM; or
Simple adjusted OM; or
Dispatch data analysis OM; or
Average OM

From 2003 to 2007, the low-cost / must-run resources in Sumatera grid were 20.95%, 17.90%, 17.28%
and 21.99% respectively. All were accounted less than 50% of the total amount in the Sumatera grid.
According to the data, the simple OM method is selected for calculating the emission factor. For the
simple OM, the emission factor can be calculated using either of the two following data vintages:
1. Ex ante option: this option does not require monitoring and recalculation of the emission factor
during the crediting period because the emission factor is determined once at the validation stage.
A 3-year generation-weighted average, based on the most recent data available at the time of the
submission of the CDM-PDD to the DOE for validation.
2. Ex post option: the emission factor is determined for the year in which the project activity
displaces grid electricity, requiring the emission factor to be updated annually during monitoring.
If the data required calculating the emission factor for year y is usually only available later than
six months after the end of the year y, alternatively the emission factor of the previous year y-1
may be used. If the data is usually only available 18 months after the end of year y, the emission
factor of the year preceding the previous y-2 may be used. The same data vintage (y, y-1 or y-2)
should be used throughout all crediting periods.
Ex ante option: A 3-year generation-weighted average has been selected for the calculation of this
project activity.
Step 4. Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method.

UNFCCC/CCNUCC

CDM Executive Board

Page 46

The simple OM emission factor is calculated as the generation-weighted average CO2 emissions per unit
net electricity generation (tCO2 / MWh) of all generating power plants serving the system, not including
low-cost / must-run power plants/units. The simple OM may be calculated by choosing one of these
below two options:
Option A:
Based on the net electricity generation and a CO2 emission factor of each power unit; or
Option B:
Based on the total net electricity generation of all power plants serving the system and the
fuel types and total fuel consumption of the project electricity system.
Option B can only be used if:
(a) The necessary data for option A is not available; and
(b) Only nuclear and renewable power generation are considered as low-cost / must-run power
sources and the quantity of electricity supplied to the grid by these sources is known; and
(c) Off-grid power plants are not included in the calculation (i.e., if Option I has been chosen in Step
2).
The calculation of the simple OM emission factor uses option B, based on the total net electricity
generation of all power plants serving the system and the fuel types and total fuel consumption of the
project electricity system. The reason of choosing option B is because the necessary data needed in
Option A is not available for all power plants in the Sumatera grid. Data on fuel consumption of each
power plant owned by Independent Power Producer (IPP) is not publicly available. Thus, option B is
selected.
The simple OM emission factor is calculated based on the net electricity supplied to the grid by all power
plants serving the system, not including low-cost / must-run power plants / units, and based on the fuel
type(s) and total fuel consumption of the project electricity system, as follows :

Where :
EFgrid, OM simple,y = Simple operating margin CO2 emission factor in year y (tCO2/MWh)
FCi,y
= Amounts of fossil fuel type i consumed in the project electricity system in year y
(Mass or volume unit)
NCVi,y
= Net calorific value (energy content) of fossil fuel type i in year y (GJ / mass or
volume unit)
EFCO2,i,y
= CO2 emission factor of fossil fuel type i in year y (tCO2/GJ)
EGy
= Net electricity generated and delivered to the grid by all power sources serving the
system, not including low-cost / must-run power plants / units, in year y (MWh)
i
= All fossil fuel types combusted in power sources in the project electricity system in
year y
y
= The relevant year as per the data vintage chosen in step 3

Step 5. Calculate the build margin emission factor.


In terms of vintage of data, project participants can choose between one of the following two options:
Option 1:
For the first crediting period, calculate the build margin emission factor ex ante based on the most recent
information available on units already built for sample group m at the time of CDM-PDD submission to
the DOE for validation. For the second crediting period, the build margin emission factor should be
updated based on the most recent information available on units already built at the time of submission of
the request for renewal of the crediting period to the DOE. For the third crediting period, the build

UNFCCC/CCNUCC

CDM Executive Board

Page 48

margin emission factor calculated for the second crediting period should be used. This option does not
require monitoring the emission factor during the crediting period.
Option 2:
For the first crediting period, the build margin emission factor shall be updated annually, ex post,
including those units built up to the year of registration of the project activity or, if information up to the
year of registration is not yet available, including those units built up to the latest year for which
information is available. For the second crediting period, the build margin emissions factor shall be
calculated ex ante, as described in Option 1 above. For the third crediting period, the build margin
emission factor calculated for the second crediting period should be used.
Ex-ante calculation applying Option 1 data has been selected for the purpose of emission reductions
calculation for the proposed project activity.
The sample group of power units m used to calculate the build margin should be determined as per the
following procedure, consistent with the data vintage selected above:
(a) Identify the set of five power units, excluding power units registered as CDM project activities, that
started to supply electricity to the grid most recently (SET5-units) and determine their annual electricity
generation (AEGSET-5-units, in MWh);
(b) Determine the annual electricity generation of the project electricity system, excluding power units
registered as CDM project activities (AEGtotal, in MWh). Identify the set of power units, excluding power
units registered as CDM project activities, that started to supply electricity to the grid most recently and
that comprise 20% of AEGtotal (if 20% falls on part of the generation of a unit, the generation of that unit
is fully included in the calculation) (SET20%) and determine their annual electricity generation (AEGSET20%, in MWh);
(c) From SET5-units and SET20% select the set of power units that comprises the larger annual electricity
generation (SETsample);
Identify the date when the power units in SETsample started to supply electricity to the grid.
If none of the power units in SETsample started to supply electricity to the grid more than 10 years ago, then
use SETsample to calculate the build margin. Ignore steps (d), (e) and (f).
Otherwise:
(d) Exclude from SETsample the power units which started to supply electricity to the grid more than
10 years ago. Include in that set the power units registered as CDM project activity, starting with power
units that started to supply electricity to the grid most recently, until the electricity generation of the new
set comprises 20% of the annual electricity generation of the project electricity system (if 20% falls on
part of the generation of a unit, the generation of that unit is fully included in the calculation) to the extent
is possible. Determine for the resulting set (SETsample-CDM) the annual electricity generation (AEGSET-sampleCDM, in MWh);
If the annual electricity generation of that set is comprises at least 20% of the annual electricity generation
of the project electricity system (i.e. AEGSET-sample-CDM 0.2 AEGtotal), then use the sample group
SETsample-CDM to calculate the build margin. Ignore steps (e) and (f).
Otherwise:
(e) Include in the sample group SETsample-CDM the power units that started to supply electricity to the grid
more than 10 years ago until the electricity generation of the new set comprises 20% of the annual
electricity generation of the project electricity system (if 20% falls on part of the generation of a unit, the
generation of that unit is fully included in the calculation);
(f) The sample group of power units m used to calculate the build margin is the resulting set (SETsampleCDM->10yrs).
The Group of Power Units to be included in the Build Margin (BM)

Step 6. Calculate the combined margin (CM) emissions factor.


The calculation of the combined margin (CM) emission factor (EFgrid,CM,y) is based on one of the
following methods:
(a) Weighted average CM; or
(b) Simplified CM.
The weighted average CM method (option a) should be used as the preferred option.
The simplified CM method (option b) can only be used if:
The project activity is located in a Least Developed Country (LDC) or in a country with less than
10 registered projects at the starting date of validation; and
The data requirements for the application of step 5 above cannot be met.
a. Weighted average CM

UNFCCC/CCNUCC

CDM Executive Board

Page 51

The combined margin emissions factor is calculated as follows :

Where:
EFgrid,BM,y = Build margin CO2 emission factor in year y (tCO2/MWh)
EFgrid,OM,y = Operating margin CO2 emission factor in year y (tCO2/MWh)
wOM
= Weighting of operating margin emissions factor (%)
wBM
= Weighting of build margin emissions factor (%)
b, Simplified CM
The combined margin is calculated using equation above with the following conditions:
wBM = 0;
wOM = 1;
Under the simplified CM, the operating margin emission factor (EFgrid,OM,y) must be calculated using the
average OM (option (d) in step 3).
This Sumatera grid OM is calculated using weighted average CM.
