Konservasi dan Efisiensi Energi di Era Pandemi COVID-19 dan Adaptasi Kebiasaan Baru

The report finds that the COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted Indonesia's energy efficiency sector, primarily through significant drops in sales turnover for facility managers, leading to the postponement of planned efficiency projects. While energy costs decreased, other operational costs rose due to health protocols. Despite this, both facility managers and business actors remain optimistic about post-pandemic recovery, emphasizing the need for digitalization, advanced control systems, and government support. Recommended government interventions include reducing bank loan interest, providing fiscal incentives/disincentives, and implementing energy efficiency projects within state-owned buildings to stimulate demand.

• The COVID-19 pandemic had a predominantly negative impact on the energy efficiency business ecosystem, with sales turnover being the most affected business aspect, experiencing declines of more than 50% for facility managers.
• Pandemic-related financial pressures led facility managers to postpone the majority of energy efficiency projects that were still in the planning phase, although most projects already underway continued.
• Energy consumption decreased significantly across various sectors due to the pandemic; office buildings saw a 10% to 30% drop due to work-from-home practices, while hotels experienced a 20% to 50% decrease.
• Facility managers identify advanced control systems and the digitalization of production processes as the primary technologies to support future energy conservation.
• There is a strong demand for government support to drive recovery, specifically through the reduction of bank loan interest burdens and the implementation of fiscal incentives or disincentives for energy users.
• Commercial buildings and state-owned facilities are viewed as the sectors with the highest potential to drive new energy efficiency projects in the 'new normal' era, whereas retail (offline stores), transportation, tourism, hospitality, telecommunications, and textiles are seen as having lower potential.
