The Indonesian Government has targeted the new and renewable energy mix to achieve a minimum 23 per cent of the total energy use by 2025. Through its State Electricity Company (PLN) a Co-firing Program has been introduced by mixing 5–15 per cent of the biomass into its coal-fired steam power plants to be implemented in 2021 and 2022. However, the program appears to be unattractive for business due to the gap between the price and the highest purchase price regulated by PLN in procuring biomass despite the provision that the arrangement of energy price should represent the principle of just and economic value. This article aims at examining the application of the principle in the biomass Co-firing Program by employing the Energy Justice Theory by Heffron, the Theory of Justice by John Rawls and the Theory of State Intervention by W. Friedmann. It contributes to the literature on energy law by taking the experience of Indonesia because energy law in the country remains underexplored in the literature. At the practical level, this article proposes the direction through which an energy law reform in Indonesia based on the principle of the just economic value could be pursued. In order to make the biomass energy affordable and accessible but still considering the business’ aspects, the government should provide incentive, both fiscal and non-fiscal, to shift the biomass price closer to its just economic value in the form of public legal instruments.

在印度尼西亚的生物质计划中设定公正的经济价值

印度尼西亚政府的目标是到 2025 年新能源和可再生能源组合至少占总能源使用量的 23%。通过其国家电力公司 (PLN) 引入了一项混燃计划，将 5-15% 的能源混合使用。生物质将在 2021 年和 2022 年实施其燃煤蒸汽发电厂。然而，尽管规定能源价格的安排应体现公平和经济价值的原则。本文旨在通过采用 Heffron 的能源正义理论、John Rawls 的正义理论和 W. Friedmann 的国家干预理论来检验该原理在生物质共燃计划中的应用。它借鉴了印度尼西亚的经验，为能源法文献做出了贡献，因为该国的能源法在文献中仍未得到充分探索。在实践层面，本文提出了印度尼西亚基于公正经济价值原则的能源法改革的方向。为了使生物质能源价格低廉且易于获取，但仍要考虑商业方面，政府应提供财政和非财政激励，以公共法律文书的形式使生物质价格更接近其公正的经济价值。本文提出了基于公正经济价值原则的印度尼西亚能源法改革的方向。为了使生物质能源价格低廉且易于获取，但仍要考虑商业方面，政府应提供财政和非财政激励，以公共法律文书的形式使生物质价格更接近其公正的经济价值。本文提出了基于公正经济价值原则的印度尼西亚能源法改革的方向。为了使生物质能源价格低廉且易于获取，但仍要考虑商业方面，政府应提供财政和非财政激励，以公共法律文书的形式使生物质价格更接近其公正的经济价值。
