PT Danatara announced that the groundbreaking ceremonies for the nationwide Waste-to-Energy (PSEL) projects are expected to start in batches from March to June 2026. The project is being carried out under Indonesia's Presidential Regulation No. 109 of 2025, a 30-year national long-term plan aimed at addressing the urban waste crisis while enhancing national energy resilience. The project implementation is divided into four main phases, with the first batch to be launched in Bandung, Bogor, Bali, and Yogyakarta, four regions with mature foundational conditions.
According to the timeline released by Danatara, from October to December 2025, the screening of qualified supplier lists and distribution of Request for Proposal (RFP) documents were completed. A total of 24 companies passed the qualification review and obtained eligibility to participate in the tenders for the aforementioned regions. The core task for January 2026 is submission of bid proposals, and in-depth evaluation will be conducted from January to February. The evaluation uses a balanced weighting formula of 50% technical and 50% financial, with the technical dimension covering technical reliability and environmental compliance, and the financial dimension focusing on financing structure. Danatara clarified that the winning bidder will not be determined by the lowest bid, but by the highest combined score for technical quality and sustainability.
After the winning bidder and partners are determined in February, the project will enter the limited negotiation and legal document finalization phase. Relevant agreements, including the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), local government cooperation agreement, Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contract, and Operation and Maintenance (O&M) contract, are planned to be signed from March to May. Construction can only commence after all legal documents come into effect. Danatara has set strict thresholds for project operation consortiums: bidding companies must have an average of IDR 2.5 trillion in assets over the past three years, net assets exceeding IDR 70 billion, and must possess operational experience with waste-to-energy facilities processing at least 1,000 tons per day to ensure technical maturity and sustainable waste management.
