Pontianak, 25 November 2017 HEAD OF PPLH-UNTAN Endang Mulyani IMA 150 kV Tayan-Sanggau-Sekadau Transmission Line – Sanggau and Sekadau Substations ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A. Project Background 1) This report contains performance evaluation of PT PLN (Persero) on implementation of land and other assets acquisition process as a part of a project bulding 150 kV Tayan- Sanggau-Sekadau transmission line as well as Sanggau and Sekadau substations. The two substations will add a current one in Tayan, Kalimantan Barat. The project is a development of West Kalimantan Power Grid Strengthening Project (275 kV Jagoibabang-Bengkayang Transmission Line and 150 kV Bengkayang-Ngabang-Tayan Transmission Line) which is in line with the objective of ASEAN Power Grid (APG) Interconnection Development Project and also an important aspect for the West Kalimantan Power Strengthening Strategy, under the PLN Electricity Supply Planning Effort (Rencana Usaha Penyediaan Tenaga Listrik – RUPTL 2015-2024). The project has been recognised and planned in Regional Regulation No. 5 year 2004 West Kalimantan Rencana Tata Ruang Wilayah (RTRW or Spatial Plan). 2) Evaluation indicators and parameters were made on the basis of the plan for monitoring and evaluation implementation written in Resettlement and Customary Communities Plan (RCCP) document for the project of 150 kV Tayan-Sanggau-Sekadau transmission and Sanggau and Sekadau substations. The indicators can be used as benchmarks in handling of land and other assets acquisition process in the future. The research was conducted also in accordance with the RCCP. The objective of the evaluation and monitoring activities was to assess whether the project implementation was taken place in accordance with RCCP document; part of PT PLN (Persero) commitment to ensure the implementation process did not bring negative impacts towards affected people or society and customary community. Additionally, PT PLN (Persero) is required to facilitate the evaluation and monitoring as a part of responsibility to ADB as a fund sponsor of the project. PT PLN (Persero) guarantees that the acquition of lands and other assets will bring positive impacts towards affected people or society associated with related applied laws and regulations. B. Evaluation of Implementation Process of Land Acquisition and Compensation 3) Land acquisition process was aimed for development of 150 kV Tayan-Sanggau- Sekadau transmission lines as well as Sanggau and Sekadau substations, particularly to construct tower sites, substations and Right of Way (RoW) along the route. The required areas for the constructions are either 225 m2 or 400 m2 for the tower sites, 1.3 Ha for the substations and 2.1 Ha for the ROW. Compensation for threes with height more than 4 metres was also provided. 4) The process of land acquisition and compensation has been conducted in accordance with RCCP, in which the actions taken were strongly anticipated in order to achieve resettelement objectives although there were still unavoidable productive lands and structures included in the acquisition area. 5) The acquisition of land as well as payments have been done accordingly as set forth in RCCP, by using the price estimated and determined by an independent appraiser. Among the compensation beneficiaries, one person was not contactable thus the compensation was placed in a related court referring to Law No 2 / 2012 concerning The Land Precurement for Public Development,Chapter 42, verse (1) and (2). Some affected people were not directly involved in identification and verification of their land; most of them are farmers and could not attend the meeting and activities thus local public figure or village officials represented them on the process to make related deal and decision. Determination of the amount of compensation was done through a negotiation mechanism done by PT PLN (Persero) together with the affected people based on applicable regulations. The deal was in accordance with the price assigned by the independent appraiser, in which the amount in each village varied from Rp. 40.000,-/m2 to Rp.95.000,-/m2.

Evaluation of the Development Effects towards Socio Economic Status, Income and Livelihood of Affected People. 6) The development of 150 kV Tayan-Sanggau-Sekadau transmission line as well as Sanggau and Sekadau substations have contributed to positive changes on socio- economic situation of the affected people, although the contribution has not been experienced directly by local people in the area. The project was still in the pra- construction stage which related to assets acquisition thus at this stage, only the people who owns related land or assets were experiencing changes. 7) Monitoring results revealed that the nominal compensations received by the affected people, particularly vulnerable-affected persons, generally were spent for house refurbishing, developing a new income source such as small grocery shop (warung) or exchanging the lost assets with new ones. When the people allocated the compensation to run or develop new income, the income of family will increase. Some families spent the compensation to buy new land for palm oil plantation which obviously will improve their socio-economic situation. Development of their current business such as warung or small shop also was factor that will increase their socio-economic status. All those descriptions imply a well restoration of socio economic situation of the affected people. Few affected areas were herited lands so the compensation was distribute to all heirs. The final amount of the compensation nominal generally was quite limited to restore their socio-economic status. Evaluation on the effectivity and suistainability of the affected people rights towards their economic activities and their assets, showed a positive impact in which majority of the affected people
