Indonesia Pipeline Awaits Policy Clarity

Since launching its 2010 Master Plan, Indonesia has amassed a sizable water infrastructure pipeline of 32 public-private partnerships (PPP) requiring over US$2.5 billion of investment in a time of regulatory uncertainty. Following a 10-year hiatus, during which no PPP projects were awarded in the country, two legal decisions in 2015 have shaken the country’s receptiveness to private water investment. In February the Constitutional Court repealed the 2004 Waterworks Law, and in March, Jakarta’s court annulled two concession contracts awarded to private water players PT Air Aetra (Acuatico) and PT Palyja (Suez Environnement). A new Water Law is pending and will be critical to moving the sector forward once legislated. Bluefield Research has released a new Market Insight, Policy Bottlenecks Challenge Indonesia’s Water PPP Program, that analyzes the current state of Indonesia’s market for new water supply infrastructure investment and provides a near term outlook for development going forward.
