Bayang-Bayang JETP dalam Konflik Rantai Pasok Energi Hijau Pulau Rempang

The report examines the Rempang Eco City project, a National Strategic Project (PSN) in Indonesia's Riau Islands, which is promoted as a green industrial zone for solar panel glass production. It argues that the project contradicts the principles of the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP) by causing forced evictions, human rights abuses, and social conflict among indigenous Malay, Orang Laut, and Orang Darat communities. The analysis reveals that the project's primary investor, Xinyi Group, plans to use a 2 GW coal-fired power plant, undermining its 'green' label. Furthermore, the report alleges systemic corruption and a lack of transparency, identifying PT Makmur Elok Graha (PT MEG) as the concession holder and tracing its ownership through shell companies in the British Virgin Islands to hide the beneficial ownership of figures like Tomy Winata. The document concludes that the project prioritizes elite profit and foreign investment over the rights and basic needs of local residents, who continue to face electricity shortages while the region is developed for energy exports to Singapore.

• The Rempang Eco City project, designated as a National Strategic Project (PSN), is marketed as an environmentally friendly initiative but has resulted in forced evictions, agrarian conflicts, and clashes with security forces, ignoring the social and cultural impacts on indigenous peoples.
• While the project is linked to the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP) goal of strengthening renewable energy supply chains, it demonstrates social and environmental injustice by marginalizing indigenous communities.
• The project's 'green' credentials are contradicted by the plans of Xinyi Group, a Chinese investor building a solar panel glass factory, to utilize a coal-fired power plant with a capacity of 2 GW.
• The project is characterized by alleged corruption and conflicts of interest, involving local and global elites using complex corporate structures and shell companies in tax havens to secure unfair land concessions.
• The designation of Rempang Eco City as a PSN was expedited rapidly, mirroring other controversial projects like Pantai Indah Kapuk (PIK) 2 and Bumi Serpong Damai (BSD), which are viewed as political rewards for investors.
• Security forces used excessive violence, including tear gas and intimidation, against residents resisting eviction, indicating a severe lack of public consultation and participation.
• The report identifies PT Makmur Elok Graha (PT MEG) as the concession holder, with ownership traced to Grideye Resources Limited in the British Virgin Islands, a tax haven, allegedly to hide the beneficial ownership of Tomy Winata.
• There is a stark contradiction between the development of large-scale solar farms for electricity export to Singapore and the local energy crisis in Batam, where residents face severe power shortages.
