According to ADB website, access to reliable and cost-effective sources of modern forms of energy is a pre-requisite for growth and productivity improvement, and can help Indonesia avoid the pitfalls of the middle income trap. While this is particularly true for the country's manufacturing and commercial centers, it is also important that access to modern forms of energy be available to millions of Indonesians living in remote areas across the far-flung archipelago. Otherwise, the benefits of national growth will be limited to the country's economic centers and leave behind people living in less connected areas. Furthermore, this push for increased energy use needs to come at a minimal environmental cost if Indonesia is to preserve the quality of its local environment and honor its commitments to global environmental protection.
According to ADB document, the impact will be a more sustainable and inclusive energy sector in Indonesia. The outcome will be the preparation of a regulatory framework and policy actions for a more sustainable and inclusive energy supply. Further, safeguard categorization is not applicable.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF ADB
The Accountability Mechanism is an independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who believe they are likely to be, or have been, adversely affected by an Asian Development Bank-financed project. If you submit a complaint to the Accountability Mechanism, they may investigate to assess whether the Asian Development Bank is following its own policies and procedures for preventing harm to people or the environment. You can learn more about the Accountability Mechanism and how to file a complaint at: http://www.adb.org/site/accountability-mechanism/main
