The allocation of $500m each to the coal-dependent countries will come in the form of “concessional,” or low cost, finance, the World Bank-affiliated fund said in a statement Thursday. In Indonesia, CIF will work with state power provider Perusahaan Listrik Negara and private companies to accelerate the closure of 2,000MW of coal-fired generation by five to 10 years and explore how that capacity can be replaced.
