ADB has committed $2.6 billion to support infrastructural development in Indonesia during 2019. ADB plans to finance two major energy projects in the country. It will provide a $600 million loan for a power distribution project covering Kalimantan, Maluku and Papua. Further, it will also extend a $500 million project loan for scattered gas-fired power plants in Sulawesi, Kalimantan as well as East and West Nusa Tenggara provinces; the bank had been working on these with the state utility company, PLN.
Besides these, ADB has also committed its support to the Indonesia Infrastructure Finance Facility, which will finance various infrastructure projects in energy, water supply, sanitation and waste management, particularly at the local government level, across the country. In addition, ADB plans to provide more funding to support disaster recovery in Palu, Central Sulawesi.
