Mission Statement 

AGENCY: Department of Commerce, ITA. 

ACTION: Notice. 

Mission Statement 

Secretarial Indonesia Clean Energy 

Business Development Mission May 23– 

25, 2010. 

Mission Description 

U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gary 

Locke will lead a senior-level U.S. 

business development mission to 

Jakarta, Indonesia May 23–25, 2010 to 

discuss market development policies 

and promote U.S. exports in a broad 

range of clean energy technologies, 

including the geothermal, biomass, 

hydropower, wind, solar, and energy 

efficiency sectors. 

The mission will focus on helping 

U.S. companies already doing business 

in Indonesia to increase their current 

level of exports and business interests, 

as well as, U.S. companies that are 

experienced exporters enter Indonesia 

for the first time in support of creating 

green jobs in the United States. 

Participating firms will gain market 

information, make business and 

government contacts, solidify business 

strategies, and/or advance specific 

projects. In each of these important 

sectors, participating U.S. companies 

will meet with prescreened partners, 

agents, distributors, representatives, and 

licensees. The agenda will also include 

meetings with high-level national and 

local government officials, networking 

opportunities, country briefings, and 

seminars. 

The delegation will be comprised of 

approximately 10–15 U.S. firms 

representing a cross-section of U.S. 

clean energy industries. The mission 

will also be open to representatives of 

U.S. trade associations in the targeted 

industries with commercial interest in 

Indonesia. 

Representatives of the U.S. Trade and 

Development Agency (USTDA) and the 

Export-Import Bank of the United States 

(Ex-Im) will be invited to participate to 

provide information and counseling on 

their programs, as they relate to the 

Indonesian market. 

Commercial Setting 

Indonesia’s 47 year legacy as the 

Organization of the Petroleum Exporting 

Countries’ (OPEC) sole Asian member 

was eclipsed as the country became a 

net importer and exited OPEC. Today, 

liquid natural gas (LNG), thermal coal, 

and palm oil exports for bio fuel, 

dominate energy exports. Sound fiscal 

and monetary policies, strong domestic 

consumption, and diversified exports 

have contributed to the overall 

economic growth of Indonesia, making 

it one of the world’s fastest growing 

economies in 2009. Energy needs have 

far exceeded supply causing the country 

to embark on multiple initiatives to 

regain energy balance, including a 

mandate of 15% renewables by 2025, 

that positions this mission perfectly for 

the U.S. to emphasize the importance of 

policy and competitive trade practices 

to shape the development of this high 

potential market. 

In 2004, Indonesia’s government 

announced a ‘‘Crash Program’’ to 

produce 20,000 MW of additional 

energy to support economic growth. 

Phase I of the program was confined to 

coal-fired electricity plants primarily

1An SME is defined as a firm with 500 or fewer 

employees or that otherwise qualifies as a small 

business under SBA regulations (see http://www.

sba.gov/services/contractingopportunities/

sizestandardstopics/index.html). Parent companies, 

affiliates, and subsidiaries will be considered when 

determining business size. The dual pricing 

schedule reflects the Commercial Service’s user fee 

schedule that became effective May 1, 2008 (see

initiatives.html for additional information). 

sourced from China. Phase II of the 

program includes public sector 

guarantees for ‘‘off take’’ power purchase 

agreements by the state-owned utility 

and preferences for renewable energy 

production sources such as 

geothermal—a major opportunity for 

U.S. firms who are competitive in the 

sector. Beyond the Crash Program, the 

Indonesian government expects a 56% 

increase in overall energy investments 

by 2014. Investment estimates include 

both public and private funds, which 

will be targeted at increasing the supply 

of electricity in urban areas, while also 

meeting the country’s rural 

electrification needs. As a public service 

goal, the government of Indonesia 

intends to provide electricity to 90% of 

the country by 2010. 

Opportunities for clean energy 

exports from the United States are 

driven in large part by the Indonesian 

Government’s mandate that by 2025, 

15% of the nation’s electricity should 

come from renewable energy sources— 

5% from geothermal sources, 5% from 

biomass, and 5% from other renewables. 

To accomplish this goal, Indonesia will 

likely need to add 6.7 GW of new 

renewable energy production by 2025. 

Though Indonesia’s renewable energy 

industry offers potential growth, barriers 

still exist that prevent U.S. companies 

from accessing the market and 

competing with domestic firms. The 

pricing regime for renewable energy, the 

‘‘Negative Investment List’’ restricting 

foreign investment in small power 

production facilities that produce less 

than 10 MW, the lack of transparency in 

the tendering process, and subsidies for 

fossil fuel production all forestall the 

development of cleaner energy 

resources. 

Despite the challenges, Indonesia is 

open to partnering with U.S. clean 

energy firms and with key U.S. 

technology and services providers. 

Indonesia’s strategic setting in Asia, and 

its emerging domestic market and 

resources offer significant opportunities 

for the U.S. clean energy industry. 

Indonesia is home to 40% of the world’s 

known geothermal resources and 

provides additional opportunities in 

solar, biomass, ‘‘clean coal’’ technology 

such as gasification or wet coal 

enhancement, and energy efficiency 

technologies. 

Today, renewable energy currently 

accounts for a small, but growing 

portion of Indonesia’s electricity 

portfolio. Most renewable energy comes 

from the hydropower and geothermal 

industries, but growth in other 

renewable energy industries— 

particularly biomass—is likely given the 

country’s significant resource potential 

and its desire to invest in cutting-edge 

clean energy technologies. 

Mission Goals 

This Business Development Mission 

to Indonesia will demonstrate the 

United States commitment to a 

sustained economic partnership with 

Indonesia. It will build on recent 

commercial diplomacy and policy 

development in Indonesia focused on 

clean energy, transportation, science 

and financing. The mission will 

combine Secretarial level policy 

dialogue and relationship development 

with business development for U.S. 

firms. The mission purpose is to support 

participants as they construct a firm 

foundation for future business in 

Indonesia and specifically aims to: 

• Assist in identifying partners and 

strategies for U.S. companies to provide 

access to Indonesian markets for clean 

and efficient technologies that advance 

Indonesian goals to reduce greenhouse 

gas emissions. 

• Position participant firms as clear 

and effective voices to promote policies 

and regulatory frameworks that boost 

demand for clean energy products/ 

services and assure U.S. access and 

commercial success. 

• Confirm USG support for activities 

of U.S. business in Indonesia and to 

provide access to senior government 

decision makers in the new Indonesian 

administration. 

• Listen to the needs, suggestions and 

experience of individual participants so 

as to shape appropriate USG positions 

regarding Indonesia and U.S. business 

interests. 

• Organize private and focused events 

with local business and association 

leaders capable of becoming partners 

and clients for U.S. firms as they 

develop their business in Indonesia. 

• Assist development of competitive 

strategies and market access with high 

level information gathering from private 

and public-sector leaders. 

Mission Scenario
