Indonesia\u2019s Investment Management Agency (BPI) Danantara, through PT\nDaya Energi Bersih Nusantara (Denera), has officially announced eight\npartners that won the tender for the second phase of the Waste-to-Energy\n(WtE) power plant programme. The projects will be developed across eight\nregions covering 20 regencies and cities as part of efforts to\naccelerate the development of waste-based energy infrastructure.<\/p>\n
The winners were designated through the issuance of Conditional\nLetters of Award (CLoA) on 13 July 2026. The document represents\nconditional appointment before the partners fulfil all requirements\nneeded to proceed to the final contract stage.<\/p>\n
Denera Chief Executive Officer Fadli Rahman said this round of\nselection was stricter and more competitive than the previous phase.\nAccording to him, the high number of participants from various countries\ndemonstrates that Indonesia\u2019s WtE projects are beginning to attract the\nattention of global industry players.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe selection of partners for the second phase was more competitive.\nWe received 68 submissions for eight locations. Participants also came\nfrom various countries \u2014 not only China, but also companies from\nIndonesia, France, Japan and India,\u201d Fadli said in a written statement\nreceived by KabarBursa.com on Monday, 13 July 2026.<\/p>\n
For the Medan Raya region, the project has been awarded to the SUEZ\nInsan Asia consortium, a collaboration between Indonesian and French\ncompanies. The facility is designed to process up to 1,700 tonnes of\nwaste per day.<\/p>\n
In Bekasi Regency, the project will be carried out by the Consortium\nEverbright Cemerlang Energy, also known as Everbright Harmoni.\nMeanwhile, Lampung Raya will be developed by Bumi Biru Indonesia, or SUS\nIndoplas, an Indonesian-Chinese consortium.<\/p>\n
The WtE project in Serang Raya, with a processing capacity of 1,161\ntonnes of waste per day, will be handled by a consortium of PT Chandra\nWaste Energy, Beijing GeoEnviron Engineering and Tech Inc., and Masa\nDepan Energi Indonesia. PT Chandra Waste Energy is itself a subsidiary\nof PT Chandra Asri Pacific Tbk.<\/p>\n
For Semarang Raya, Danantara appointed Veolia Environmental Services\nAsia Pte. Ltd.\u00a0of France as the developer, with a processing capacity of\nup to 1,100 tonnes of waste per day.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Surabaya Raya project will be developed by the\nKonsorsium Mentari Citra Lestari, whose members include PT Bakrie Power,\nPT Acritas Karya Persada and SUS Indonesia Holding Limited.<\/p>\n
In Bogor Raya, the project will be carried out by the Konsorsium\nMPM-CEVIA Enviro Inc., or PT Mega Power CEVIA. The Yogyakarta Raya\nproject has been entrusted to the Konsorsium Cakra Energi Lestari,\ncomprising PT Pertamina Power Indonesia, Tianjin TEDA Environmental\nProtection Co.\u00a0Ltd.\u00a0and CITICC International Investment Limited.<\/p>\n
Fadli stressed that the entire selection process was conducted\nobjectively, upholding good governance principles and following\ninternationally accepted best practices.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo ensure the independence and quality of the process, we appointed\nindependent technical, legal and commercial advisers to accompany every\nstage of the evaluation,\u201d Fadli said.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Danantara Chief Executive Officer Pandu Sjahrir viewed the\nparticipation of world-class waste-to-energy companies in the selection\nas a signal that Indonesia is increasingly trusted as a destination for\nenvironmental sector investment.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe see this as an opportunity to accelerate technology transfer,\nbuild national capacity and strengthen the waste management industry\necosystem in Indonesia,\u201d Pandu said.<\/p>\n
How large is the WtE programme Danantara is driving?<\/p>\n
The appointment of the eight second-phase WtE partners forms part of\na much larger agenda. Danantara is targeting the construction of 33 WtE\nfacilities across 61 regencies and cities, with an investment value of\naround USD 5 billion, equivalent to approximately Rp89.5 trillion.<\/p>\n
That investment figure shows the WtE programme is not merely the\nconstruction of waste processing facilities, but one of the largest\nenvironmental infrastructure projects currently being pushed by the\ngovernment.<\/p>\n
Based on that value, the average investment requirement per project\nis estimated at around USD 151.5 million, or roughly Rp2.71 trillion,\nalthough the investment amount for each location may differ depending on\nthe capacity and complexity of the project. These figures were presented\nby Danantara Investment Management CEO Pandu Sjahrir in an earlier\nbriefing.<\/p>\n
The programme implements Presidential Regulation No.\u00a0109 of 2025,\nwhich expands WtE development nationally. The new regulation replaced\nthe previous scheme, increasing the project\u2019s coverage to 33 locations\nspread across 61 regencies and cities.<\/p>\n
Several announced projects also demonstrate the scale of the waste\nprocessing capacity being designed. The Medan Raya WtE plant, for\nexample, is targeted to process 1,700 tonnes of waste per day. The\nSerang Raya facility has a capacity of 1,161 tonnes per day, while\nSemarang Raya is projected to process 1,100 tonnes of waste daily.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Bekasi project is designed with a capacity of around\n1,000 tonnes of waste per day and electricity production of up to 18.5\nmegawatts. In Bogor Raya, processing capacity is estimated at between\n1,000 and 1,500 tonnes per day, while Yogyakarta Raya is targeted to\nprocess around 1,000 tonnes of waste daily.<\/p>\n
Nationally, the government targets 11 first-wave WtE projects to have\na combined processing capacity of 14,928 tonnes of waste per day, with\npotential electricity generation of 310.3 megawatts. This figure is one\nindicator of the WtE programme\u2019s significant contribution to reducing\nwaste accumulation while providing waste-based energy.<\/p>\n
The scale of the programme is also reflected in growing investor\ninterest. In the second-phase selection, Danantara received 68 proposals\nfrom 85 companies included on the Selected Provider List. That number is\nhigher than the first phase, which involved only 24 participants.<\/p>\n
Selection participants came from various countries, including\nIndonesia, France, China, Japan and India, indicating increased\ncompetition to develop waste management infrastructure projects in\nIndonesia.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, the investment value of each of the eight second-phase\nprojects, including the funding composition between Danantara, private\npartners and financing institutions, has not yet been published in\ndetail.<\/p>\n
The eight newly announced partners also still hold Conditional\nLetters of Award status, meaning they must fulfil all technical,\ncommercial and financing requirements before being confirmed as\ndefinitive developers.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/danantara-announces-8-winners-of-psel-tender-chandra-asri-tpia-subsidiary-included-1784008226", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
