PROJECT OBJECTIVE
The proposed RBL program will enhance sustainable, equitable, and
reliable access to electricity for the population in nine provinces. It is in the ADB’s Country
Operations Business Plan 2019–2021 and aligns with the Country Partnership Strategy
2016−2019.
13 The RBL will finance a slice of the broader program in the Electric Power Supply
Business Plan (RUPTL) 2018–2027 of the State Electricity Corporation (Perusahaan Listrik
Negara or PLN). PLN has a financing gap for power delivery, including community-level
renewable energy development, for which it is seeking ADB support.
