The National Investment Management Agency Danantara announced that the national waste-to-energy project has attracted over 100 domestic and foreign enterprises forming 70 consortia. The project has a total investment of IDR 91 trillion and is planned to be implemented in 33 cities, with the first phase covering 10 major cities including Jakarta and Bandung.
Each plant will handle 1,000 tons of waste daily, converting it into renewable energy. President Prabowo has signed Presidential Regulation No. 109 of 2025 to provide legal protection. The project aims to solve Indonesia's urban waste treatment challenges (in 2023, only 39% of waste received proper treatment nationwide).
Site selection criteria comprehensively consider waste volume, water sources, and land availability, and will adopt environmentally friendly technologies to produce electricity, bioenergy, and other derivatives. The first batch of plants is expected to begin operations by the end of 2025. This project marks an important step for Indonesia in promoting a circular economy and energy transition, and is expected to significantly improve urban environmental sanitation conditions.
