ITA, ITB & ITC CHAPTER I – INTRODUCTION 1.1 Brief Project Description The Lombok 3x5 MWac Solar Farm (the Project) involves the development of solar power generation facility with the total capacity of 15 MWac in Lombok Island, Nusa Tenggara Barat (hereinafter referred as “NTB”) Province. The Project location is divided to three sites each of 7 MWp (5 MWac) connected to a 20 kV substation. The Project will be developed and will be operated by PT Infrastruktur Terbarukan Adhiguna (“ITA”), PT Infrastruktur Terbarukan Buana (“ITB”), and PT Infrastruktur Terbarukan Cemerlang (“ITC”), together referred as the “Proponents”, who are a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) established by Vena Energy. ITA, ITB, and ITC develops and operates each 5 MWac solar power project to supply power to the Lombok Timur and Lombok Tengah grid. Recent policy decisions by the Government of Indonesia (GoI) have encouraged significant power investment in Indonesia, including for renewable energy projects. As a result, this Project has in part been developed to take advantage of these opportunities, while also supplying clean renewable power to the local market. Three solar farms will be developed in different villages and regencies across Lombok Island (Figure 1). The key details for each solar farm and transmission line are described in Table 1. Total land area acquired is greater than the total project land requirement to accommodate landowner’s preference to sell slightly larger parcels of land.

All three sites have obtained an environmental permit through the Indonesian regulatory environmental approval process for each site, locally referred to as UKL-UPL (Environmental Management and Monitoring Effort (Upaya Pengelolaan Lingkungan Hidup dan Upaya Pemantauan Lingkungan Hidup). In addition to the UKL-UPL process, the Environmental, Social and Health Impact Assessment (ESHIA) has been developed by ERM Indonesia to provide an understanding of the Project’s 2020 – Annual Environmental and Social Monitoring Report – Lombok Solar Project |1
ITA, ITB & ITC alignment with applicable international standard. Alignment with these expectations is a requirement of Vena Energy to support current financing of the Project. Along with the identification and assessment of predicted environmental, social and health impacts, the ESHIA requires appropriate management and mitigation measures to manage the potential impacts to an acceptable standard in accordance with the Applicable Lender Standards (IFC and ADB). Each solar farm will require the construction and operation of the following key elements, which are depicted in Figure 2 to Figure 4: • Installation of a solar panel field; • Installation of main station; • Installation of inverter station; • Construction of drainage and water distribution system; • Construction of internal roads; and • Installation of 20 kV overhead transmission line to the nearest PLN 150/20kV substation. At the time of this report is written, all three projects have been officially entered the operation phase as per COD date agreed with the PLN. 2020 – Annual Environmental and Social Monitoring Report – Lombok Solar Project |2

ITA, ITB & ITC 1.3 PURPOSE OF THE REPORT AND COVERAGE OF REPORTING The Purpose of the Annual Environmental and Social Monitoring Report (AESMR) is to present the environmental mitigation and monitoring activities undertaken by PT ITA, ITB and ITC in 2020. This report also includes updates on project progress, the status including gaps identified (if any) in the Environmental Management and Monitoring Plan (EMMP) implementation and environmental monitoring data. The community complaints/grievance and its resolutions which implemented are also reported. 1.4 APPLICABLE REGULATORY FRAMEWORK 1.4.1 Introduction Indonesian Regulatory Framework In Indonesia, the Environmental Management and Protection Law No. 32 of 2009 is the main environmental law covering important environmental issues, including environmental standards, AMDAL or UKL-UPL, environmental permitting, and environmental audits. AMDAL itself consists of the Environmental Impact Analysis Terms of Reference (locally known as Kerangka Acuan Analisis Dampak Lingkungan or KA-ANDAL), Environmental Impact Analysis (locally known as Analisis Dampak Lingkungan or ANDAL) and Environmental Management/ Monitoring Effort (known as Rencana Pengelolaan Lingkungan/Rencana Pemantauan Lingkungan or RKL/RPL). For the project with generates insignificant impact, the project only required Environmental Management Effort and Environmental Monitoring Effort Document (Upaya Pengelolaan Lingkungan – Upaya Pemantauan Lingkungan), which is applied to this project. The Project’s UKL-UPL has been assessed through the UKL-UPL Commission of Lombok Timur and Lombok Tengah Regency and the environmental permit was issued by the Bupati (mayor) (through PTSP) in 2017. Following this approval, the Project is required to submit a report to the BLHD of Lombok Timur & Lombok Tengah Regency and BLHD of Nusa Tenggara Barat Province every six months. The report will detail the Project’s implementation of environmental and social commitments specified within the UKL-UPL. Other Relevant Regulatory Provisions In addition to the overarching requirements to manage environmental, social and health impacts through the UKL-UPL processes, other applicable regulatory provisions include: • Indonesian Laws; • Government Regulations; • Presidential Decrees; • Ministerial Regulations; • Regency Regulations (Decrees of Head of Environmental Impact Management Agency and National Land Agency); and • Local Regulations and Governor/Mayor Decrees. • The Project Feasibility Study provides a detailed overview of other permits relating to the Project, while the Project UKL-UPL details valid Indonesian Government Legislations and Regulations pertaining to the Project. 2020 – Annual Environmental and Social Monitoring Report – Lombok Solar Project |7
ITA, ITB & ITC 1.4.2 International Regulatory Framework ADB Safeguard Policy Statement The ADB released its Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS) in June 2009. The SPS applies to all ADB-financed and/or ADB-administered projects and their components, regardless of the source of financing, including investment projects funded by a loan; and/or a grant; and/or other means, such as equity and/or guarantees. ADB works with borrowers and clients to put into practice the requirements of SPS. The SPS supersedes ADB's Involuntary Resettlement Policy (1995), Policy on Indigenous Peoples (1998), and Environment Policy (2002). In accordance with the SPS, these previous policies apply to all projects and tranches of multi-tranche financing facility projects that were reviewed by ADB’s management before 20 January 2010. The objectives of ADB’s safeguards are to: • Avoid adverse impacts of projects on the environment and affected people, where possible; • Minimize, mitigate, and/or compensate for adverse project impacts on the environment and affected people when avoidance is not possible; and • Assist borrowers and clients to strengthen their safeguard systems and develop the capacity to manage environmental and social risks. The ADB SPS framework consists of three operational policies: • Environment, • Indigenous Peoples, and • Involuntary Resettlement. All three safeguard policies involve a structured process of impact assessment, planning, and mitigation to address the adverse effects of projects throughout the project cycle. It requires the project to: • Identify and assess impacts in the project cycle; • Develop and implement plans to avoid, minimize, mitigate, or compensate for the potential adverse impacts; and • Inform and consult the affected community during project preparation and implementation. To help borrowers and clients and their projects achieve the desired outcomes, ADB adopts a set of specific safeguard requirements that borrowers and clients are required to meet in addressing environmental and social impacts and risks. These safeguard requirements are as follows: • Safeguard Requirements 1: Environment (Appendix 1 of SPS); • Safeguard Requirements 2: Involuntary Resettlement (Appendix 2 of SPS); • Safeguard Requirements 3: Indigenous Peoples (Appendix 3 of SPS); and • Safeguard Requirements 4: Special Requirements for Different Finance Modalities (Appendix 4 of SPS). In addition, ADB does not finance activities on the prohibited investment activities list (Appendix 5 of SPS). Furthermore, ADB does not finance projects that do not comply with its 2020 – Annual Environmental and Social Monitoring Report – Lombok Solar Project |8
ITA, ITB & ITC safeguard policy statement, nor does it finance projects that do not comply with the host country’s social and environmental laws and regulations, including those laws implementing host country obligations under international law. Consultation and Disclosure requirements of ADB ADB’s Safeguard Policy and Access to Information Policy (2018) sets out disclosure requirements for various ADB activities, including safeguard requirement. Safeguard Requirements 2: Involuntary Resettlement (Appendix 2 of SPS); and Safeguard Requirements 3: Indigenous Peoples (Appendix 3 of SPS) sets out the need for meaningful consultation and information disclosure during project preparation and operation to the affected peoples and other stakeholders. Key requirements include: • Information Disclosure: The borrower/client will submit the following documents to ADB for disclosure on ADB’s website as per the applicability with respect to the Project: o Draft EIA including draft EMP; o Final EIA/IEE; o Updated EIA/IEE and corrective active plan; o Environmental Monitoring Reports; o Resettlement Plan (RP)/Resettlement Framework (RF); o Indigenous Peoples Plan (IPP)/Indigenous Peoples Planning Framework (IPPF); and o Monitoring reports. • Information disclosure to affected people or stakeholders: The borrower/client will provide relevant environmental information in a timely manner, in an accessible place and in a form and language(s) understandable to affected people and other stakeholders. For illiterate people, other suitable communication methods will be used. • Consultation and Participation: The borrower/client will carry out meaningful consultation with affected people and other concerned stakeholders, including civil society, and facilitate their informed participation. • Timing and Frequency for consultation and participation: Meaningful consultation begins early in the project preparation stage and is carried out on an ongoing basis throughout the project cycle. ADB Gender and Development Policy The Gender and Development Policy (GAD Policy) of ADB is aimed at integrating gender issues in the Bank’s macroeconomic sector and project work. The GAD strategy is based on consideration of social justice, gender equity and on substantial evidence that investments in women are vital to achieving economic efficiency and growth. The key elements of the GAD Policy include the following: • Gender Sensitivity: to observe how ADB operations affect women and men and to take into account women’s needs and perspective in planning its operations. • Gender Analysis: to assess systematically the impact of a project on men and women, and on the economic and social relationship between them. • Gender Planning: to formulate specific strategies that aim to bring about equal opportunities for men and women. 2020 – Annual Environmental and Social Monitoring Report – Lombok Solar Project |9
ITA, ITB & ITC • Mainstreaming: to consider gender issues in all aspects of ADB operations, accompanied by efforts to encourage women’s participation in the decision-making process in development activities. • Agenda Setting: to assist DMC governments in formulating strategies to reduce gender disparities and in developing plans and targets for women’s and girls’ education, health, legal rights, employment and income-earning opportunities. ADB Social Protection Strategy 2001 The Social Protection Strategy of 2001 is a set of policies and programs designed to reduce poverty and vulnerability by promoting efficient labour markets, diminishing people’s exposure to risks, and enhancing their capacity to protect themselves against hazards and interruption/loss of income. The five components identified for social protection include labour markets, social insurance, social assistance, micro and area-based approaches and/or child protection. As stated in the ESHIA Report, the project is deemed to be Category C environment criteria, based on information described below: • The project study area does not fall under any legally protected area or natural habitat, and hence requirements suggested in ADB SPS 2009 regarding legally protected area and the requirements therein is not triggered. • The proposed Project’s potential significant environmental impacts are concentrated during the construction phase which are mostly site-specific and limited largely to 500 m from site and approximately 100 m access road; • Impact on soil and water will be limited and largely reversible; • The proposed project does not involve any involuntary resettlement as no settlements are located on the project location; • Based on the field observation, the proposed project will not have impact on indigenous people (Suku Sasak). Regardless of the self-identification as Sasak people, the surrounding communities within the Project boundary have experienced acculturation and live within mainstream society of Indonesia. Meanwhile, Sasak people who are still practising their traditional culture live in designated villages beyond the Project boundary; • There are no species identified as vulnerable, endangered and critically endangered according to IUCN red list within the project site; • One species is identified as National protected species, namely Banded Linsang (a tree-dwelling carnivorous mammal native to the Sudanic region of Southeast Asia); • All three sites have been used for rain fed agriculture activity and therefore are not known to have diverse species of flora and fauna. 1.5 PROJECT ACTIVITIES AND PROGRESS DURING REPORTING PERIOD During preparation of this report, the Project has been in operation phase. The power generated from the solar farm has been connected to the PLN grid system and has been purchased since July 2020. The operation activities comprises of; • Daily operation of the Solar farm; • Maintenance activities involving all electrical component monitoring and maintenance; 2020 – Annual Environmental and Social Monitoring Report – Lombok Solar Project | 10

ITA, ITB & ITC 3.1.1 Environmental Management Section below describes the condition of environmental management at each project site. Pringgabaya Water Management Based on data provided by the site representative, drinking water for site personnel was supplied through bottled water. The site has one groundwater abstraction well for sanitary purposes, which was collected in two water tanks with capacity of 5,000 liter each. Daily water consumption for sanitary purpose (i.e. toiletries and ablution) was estimated to be 25 liter/person/day. This water consumption was below the maximum capacity as stated in the UKL-UPL document of 150 liter/person/day. Figure 5 – Water tank at Pringgabaya site Water from sanitary flows to the septic tank with capacity of + 12 m3, which then absorbed by soil. Considering small quantity of wastewater generated by the site during operation phase, no further treatment was performed by the site. Other water consumption during operational phase was for cleaning of solar panel modules, which is washing of the panel modules to provide optimum surface of receiving the sun irradiation. The volume of water used for cleaning the solar panel modules was recorded at 1,702 M3 during YTD 2020. Based on the record, the water consumption is far below the allowable limit i.e. 0.75 L/second or 23,517 M3/year. There was no chemical used for cleaning activities. The PV cleaning mostly conducted during the dry season and the water from the washing activities directly absorbed to surrounding soil. Based on information provided above, quantity of water consumption used by the site and wastewater generated by the site operation, it is concluded that the site is not significantly impact the environment. 2020 – Annual Environmental and Social Monitoring Report – Lombok Solar Project | 21
ITA, ITB & ITC Waste Management Solid waste gerenated by the site operation was from paper, food packaging and leaves. Based on discussion with the site personnel, the solid waste generated by the site was about 2 kg per day, which is below the maximum allowable limit of solid waste as stated in the UKL-UPL document of 20 kg per day. In a daily basis, the site personnel that stationed at the site is around 4-6 person and mostly work in day time, the site does not provide lunch, hence, most of the time the workers get lunch outside, therefore, the amount of solid waste is observed low. The site has provided the solid waste bin with capacity of 20 liter. The solid waste generated by the site was then transported by third party to the final waste disposal. Based on site observation and interview with the site personnel, the hazardous waste generated by the site was in a form of used glass, frame of the solar panel modules and used oil from maintenance activities. All hazardous waste was stored in the temporaty hazardous waste storage area with permit No. 169/LB3/DLHK/IX/2018 dated 10 September 2018. Based on the permit, the site is permitted to stored the hazardous waste for one year. The site start to generate small amount of hazardous waste comprises of used paint can, broken PV modules and contaminated rags in September 2019, the site will need to remove this waste at the latest on september 2020. However, based on the record, the site hasn’t decided to remove the waste since it is diffcult to find a certified waste transporter within the area. Therefore, the site has informed the local authority on this issue and they are understand the situation and provide an extention to store the waste until the site is able to find the certified waste transporter. Currently, the site is on a discussion with certified waste collector from Java Island and plan to execute the work on Q2 2021. Figure 6 - Hazardous Waste Temporary Storage Area at Pringgabaya Based on the observation and document review, it is understood that the arrangement of the hazardous waste at the site is mostly in compliance with the regulation and requirement stipulated in the environmental permit, except the hazardous waste that stored at the site has 2020 – Annual Environmental and Social Monitoring Report – Lombok Solar Project | 22
