Buku Putih Valuasi Kerusakan Rempang Eco City

The 'Buku Putih Valuasi Kerusakan Rempang Eco City' report challenges the 'green economy' narrative of the Rempang Eco City project, a National Strategic Project (PSN) involving solar panel industry development on 8,142 hectares. The report finds that the average household income of residents (Rp32.77 million/month) is far higher than government claims (Rp3 million/month) and that potential environmental losses (Rp109 million/month per household) vastly outweigh the project's benefits. It documents forced evictions, agrarian conflict, and the criminalization of 43 residents in 2023, concluding that the project creates a 'sacrifice zone' and should be cancelled to ensure socio-ecological justice.

• The Rempang Eco City project is presented as a transition to a "green economy" involving the construction of a massive solar power plant (PLTS) and an industry to process quartz sand into glass for solar panels on 8,142 hectares of land.
• Economic valuation research indicates that the average monthly income of Rempang residents is Rp32.77 million per household, which significantly contradicts the government's claim that resident income is Rp3 million per month.
• The potential environmental loss per household is estimated at Rp109 million per month, a figure that is three times higher than the residents' average income.
• The project has led to forced land seizures, agrarian conflicts, and the criminalization of residents; in 2023, approximately 43 residents who opposed the development were named suspects.
• The report argues that the Rempang Eco City project treats the area as a "sacrifice zone" (zona pengorbanan), prioritizing modernization and industrialization over the complex socio-ecological space that includes mangroves, coastal areas, fisheries, agriculture, and cultural heritage.
• The authors recommend the complete cancellation of the Rempang Eco City project, asserting that the socio-ecological costs far outweigh the economic benefits.
