About the Programme

Coal2Green (C2G) is a technical assistance programme between Indonesia and Germany, funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMUKN) through the International Climate Initiative (IKI). The program supports the repurposing of coal-fired power plants (CFPPs) in Indonesia into renewable energy platforms, working across four integrated outputs: technology and solutions, financing and investment, just transition and local stakeholder engagement, and knowledge transfer and capacity building.

C2G is implemented by Guidehouse Germany GmbH as consortium lead, with CPI Global and CPI Indonesia as consortium partners, in coordination with Indonesia's Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR), represented by the Directorate General of New, Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation (DGNREEC/DJEBTKE) as Executing Agency.

This role will mainly contribute to C2G's Output III: Just Transition & Local Stakeholder Engagement. Output III co-develops a just transition framework for CFPP repurposing through inclusive stakeholder engagement, prepared for operationalization at selected Focus Project sites. It comprises three work packages: just transition planning and indicators aligned with Indonesia's JETP framework, local stakeholder mapping and engagement, and a just transition cost allocation framework that determines how transition-related costs are fairly distributed across government, asset owners, and financiers

The Analyst will support the development of Just Transition frameworks, indicators, and site-specific plans for Focus Projects; contribute to stakeholder mapping and engagement activities; and support the design and application of the Just Transition Cost Allocation Framework.
