State Electricity Company (PLN) reveals that building waste-to-energy plants (PLTSa) in seven locations requires a large supply of waste. To achieve an installed capacity of 197.4 MW, up to 12,000 tons of waste must be processed daily.
The President Director of PLN stated that, with coordination from BPI Danantara and support from relevant ministries, PLN has conducted research on these seven locations planned as pilot waste-to-energy projects and prepared a pre-feasibility study. This action follows the issuance of Presidential Decree No. 109 of 2025, which aims to process urban waste into renewable energy using environmentally friendly technology.
During a hearing with Commission VI of the House of Representatives, he introduced the first seven PLTSa locations, including Medan, Tangerang Regency, Greater Jakarta Area (Bogor), Bekasi, Semarang, Yogyakarta, and Bali.
The total installed capacity target is 197.4 MW, with a daily waste processing capacity of approximately 12,000 tons. It should be noted that PLN's subsequent role is to absorb the electricity generated by the PLTSa, purchasing electricity at a price of 20 US cents per kWh, and is not the developer or electricity producer of the PLTSa.
