        "content": "<p>PT PLN (Persero) supports the acceleration of Waste-to-Electricity\nProcessing (PSEL) implementation through collaborations between local\ngovernments and Project Executing Business Entities in the Greater\nDenpasar, Greater Bogor, and Bekasi City areas. This step is part of\njoint efforts to address national waste management challenges while\npromoting more sustainable energy utilisation. The commitment was marked\nby the signing of cooperation agreements between the Bali and Bogor\nregional governments and PT Zhejiang Weiming, as well as the Bekasi City\nGovernment and PT Wangneng Bekasi Environmental Nusantara. The signing\nwas witnessed directly by Coordinating Minister for Food Affairs\nZulkifli Hasan; Minister of Environment Hanif Faisol Nurofiq; Deputy\nMinister of Home Affairs Bima Arya Sugiarto; CIO of Danantara Indonesia\nPandu Patria Sjahrir; West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi; Bali Governor\nWayan Koster; PLN President Director Darmawan Prasodjo; and\nrepresentatives of the project executing entities at the Coordinating\nMinistry for Food Affairs Office in Jakarta on Tuesday (21\/4\/2026). On\nthat occasion, Zulkifli Hasan emphasised the importance of accelerating\nproject preparation stages, including ensuring sufficient waste supply\nas the main raw material for PSEL. \u201cWe are already in a waste emergency\ncategory. Therefore, this project must be closely monitored to be\ncompleted on time, while ensuring the availability of its raw\nmaterials,\u201d he stated. He also encouraged cross-regional collaboration\nin agglomeration areas that have not yet met the required waste volume.\nThis step aligns with President Prabowo Subianto\u2019s directives to\naccelerate the resolution of the increasingly urgent national waste\nissue in various regions. Supporting this, PLN President Director\nDarmawan Prasodjo expressed his company\u2019s readiness to play an active\nrole in supporting the success of the PSEL project through intensive\ncoordination with the Government, Danantara Indonesia, and stakeholders\nto ensure all project stages proceed in harmony and on time. \u201cPLN has\nmapped the nearest interconnection points from the PSEL locations to be\nbuilt so that the connection process is faster and more efficient in\nline with the project development targets,\u201d he said in a statement on\nSunday (26\/4\/2026). According to him, PLN is also accelerating the\ninitial discussion of the Electricity Purchase Power Agreement (PJBL) so\nthat stages that typically take several months can be shortened. In the\nPSEL project, PLN acts as the off-taker of electricity, the party that\nabsorbs the electricity produced by the waste processing facility. This\nrole is crucial for enhancing project viability, strengthening investor\nconfidence, and opening access to financing for developers. The\ndevelopment of PSEL is expected to provide broad benefits to society,\nfrom reducing urban waste accumulation and improving environmental\nquality to adding electricity supply based on domestic energy sources.\n\u201cPLN welcomes this cooperation signing as a concrete step to accelerate\nthe PSEL project. We ensure that the generated electricity can be\nintegrated into the national electricity system and re-utilised by the\npublic,\u201d Darmawan concluded.<\/p>",
