The Waste-to-Energy Plant (PSEL) in Ciketing Udik, Bantargebang\nDistrict, Bekasi City, is targeted to begin operations by mid-2028. The\nstrategic project officially commenced its construction phase after\nbeing inaugurated by Danantara Indonesia together with Daya Energi\nBersih Nusantara on Wednesday (26\/8).<\/p>\n
Danantara Indonesia Chief Investment Officer Pandu Sjahrir stated\nthat the Bekasi City PSEL is the second project to enter the\nconstruction stage after the Denpasar Raya PSEL in July 2026. The\nfacility is designed to process up to 1,500 tonnes of waste daily into\nclean electricity that will be channelled to the PT PLN (Persero)\ngrid.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe inauguration of this PSEL construction marks the arrival of a\nreal solution to answer Indonesia\u2019s waste emergency challenge. The\nBekasi City PSEL is expected to create environmental, energy, and\neconomic value for the surrounding community,\u201d said Pandu, as quoted\nfrom Antara.<\/p>\n
Under its business scheme, the electricity generated will be\npurchased by PLN through a Power Purchase Agreement (PJBL) at a set\nprice of US$0.20 per kWh. Besides generating energy for tens of\nthousands of households, the project is projected to absorb nearly 1,000\ngreen jobs.<\/p>\n
From a technical standpoint, the Bekasi PSEL uses moving grate\nincinerator technology equipped with an Air Pollution Control System\n(APCS). This technology was chosen because it suits the characteristics\nof waste in Indonesia and has met the strict environmental standards of\nthe European Union Industrial Emissions Directive (EU IED).<\/p>\n
In addition to incineration, the area will integrate pyrolysis\ntechnology to process existing waste piles into fuel oil. Chief of Staff\nof the Indonesian Army, General TNI Maruli Simanjuntak, who was also in\nattendance, expressed hope that this integrated waste management model\ncan be developed in more locations across Indonesia.<\/p>\n
Prior to commencing construction, the project had obtained an\nEnvironmental Impact Analysis (AMDAL) document handed over by the\nMinistry of Environment to Bekasi Environment Nusantara on Monday\n(24\/8). Coordinating Minister for Food, Zulkifli Hasan, emphasised that\ncross-sector collaboration is the main key to accelerating the handling\nof the national waste problem.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/bekasi-city-waste-to-energy-plant-targeted-to-operate-by-mid-2028-1787745036", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
