TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Chairperson of the National Task Force for the Acceleration of Downstreaming and National Energy Resilience, Bahlil Lahadalia, has submitted a feasibility study document for priority downstream and national energy resilience projects to the Chief Executive Officer of the National Energy Investment Management Agency Danantara (BPI Danantara), Rosan Perkasa Roeslani.
Bahlil explained that the document includes 18 downstream projects across various sectors, with Danantara expected to serve as the funding manager. These projects consist of eight in the mineral and coal sector, three in agriculture, three in marine and fisheries, two in energy transition, and two in energy resilience.
“The total value of these 18 priority projects amounts to Rp618.13 trillion, with the potential to create 276,636 jobs,” Bahlil said during a press statement at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) office in Jakarta, Tuesday, July 22, 2025.
He noted that the details of the projects and their investment values are not yet final and will be subject to further review. Danantara will re-evaluate the feasibility study document before moving forward.
Bahlil also stated that the government will form a dedicated Investment and Energy Resilience Task Force. This task force will be initiated jointly by Danantara and the National Task Force for the Acceleration of Downstreaming and National Energy Resilience.
“We will continue to work closely with Danantara, including on funding, legal processes, land acquisition, and socio-environmental impact matters,” he said.
He added that the National Task Force will support and facilitate licensing and project implementation. “It would be ideal if Danantara could fully carry out the projects. If not, partnerships with other parties remain a viable option,” he said.
