The Coordinating Minister for Food Affairs recently revealed that Indonesia's waste-to-energy (PSEL/WTE) projects are progressing well, with multiple construction works entering the tender and implementation stages. Following a recent limited coordination meeting, he announced that 4 regions have completed project approval and entered the tender process for landfills (TPS), with waste-to-energy facilities set to be built soon in Denpasar, Bekasi City, Bogor, and the Special Region of Yogyakarta. Another 6 regions have passed Danantara's review and will initiate tenders shortly, including Bandar Lampung, Semarang, Surabaya, Serang, Bekasi Regency, and Medan.
Two sites in the capital Jakarta—Bandar Gebang and Tanjung Kamal Muara—have completed all administrative procedures, but land acquisition has not yet been finalized. The minister has directly called the Governor of Jakarta, who promised to submit relevant land documents within one day, and the next stage is expected to proceed soon. This coordination meeting confirmed that a total of 30 regions meet the conditions for building waste-to-energy facilities, covering 61 regencies/cities, exceeding the original target of 34 regions, mainly due to the adoption of urban cluster joint development models in many areas.
According to the construction timeline, Phase 1 includes the 4 most mature projects, targeting completion and operation by October 2027; Phase 2 covers the remaining projects, scheduled for full completion by May 2028. The government stated that waste-to-energy projects are a key initiative for Indonesia to promote clean energy and address urban waste problems. Accelerated project implementation will effectively enhance waste resource utilization rates while supplementing regional electricity supply, supporting environmental protection and energy transition goals.
