The Indonesian government has announced a uniform electricity sales price of USD 0.2/kWh (approximately IDR 3,000) for waste-to-energy projects, with no negotiation allowed for investors. The policy was announced by the Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs at the Presidential Palace, aiming to accelerate waste management solutions across 33 provinces nationwide.
The project is managed by the National Investment Institution Danantara, with a target completion of 1-1.5 years. Coverage includes 33 locations such as Jakarta, Bandung, and Bali, with daily waste processing capacities of 1,000-2,500 tons. The government will conduct transparent open tenders, and technical proposals must comply with uniform standards. The CEO of Danantara emphasized that electricity prices and technical standards are fixed, and investors must participate in bidding accordingly.
The project is expected to launch by the end of 2025, with a target to largely resolve the national waste problem within two years. This initiative is a key step for Indonesia in promoting renewable energy and waste management, although the fixed pricing mechanism may affect some investors' willingness to participate. The government stated it will expedite the completion of supporting regulations to ensure project implementation.
