Investment management institution Danantara plans to launch an open tender for Waste-to-Energy (WtE) projects in November 2025, aiming to convert municipal waste into electricity through incineration technology. The first phase covers 10 cities, with subsequent expansion to 23 cities, and is expected to commence commercial operations in 2028.
The government plans to adopt direct incineration technology (temperature 850-1000°C), capable of processing all types of waste with a volume reduction of 90%. Future plans include phasing out the original gasification technology (gasifier), due to its high moisture requirements and low power generation efficiency of only 4%-44%, and will be equipped with tail gas treatment systems such as electrostatic precipitators and lime powder addition.
Each local government must supply 1,000-2,000 tons of waste per day. Taking Surabaya's Benowo Power Plant as an example, the new plant will have a processing capacity of 2,131 tons/day and generate 40.79 MW of electricity. This project is an important initiative for Indonesia to achieve waste reduction and renewable energy development, and will be implemented after the revision of Presidential Regulation No. 35 of 2018.
