PT Daya Energi Bersih Nusantara (Denera) has reported the latest\nprogress on three Phase I waste-to-energy (PSEL) projects, construction\nof which began several months ago.<\/p>\n
The three projects whose construction has officially begun are PSEL\nDenpasar Raya in Bali, PSEL Kota Bekasi and PSEL Bogor Raya 1. All three\nhave entered the construction phase.<\/p>\n
Construction of the waste-processing infrastructure began one year\nafter Presidential Regulation No.\u00a0109 of 2025 on PSEL was issued in\nOctober 2025.<\/p>\n
Denera Chief Operating Officer Dimas Adi Wibowo said that piling work\nat the Denpasar and Kota Bekasi facilities had reached 500 to 600 points\nout of a planned total of 1,100. At PSEL Bogor Raya, preparations for\npre-piling and the provision of a batching plant are under way.<\/p>\n
\u201cPiling, which is one of the initial stages of construction, is\nprogressing well. Of the approximately 1,100 piling points planned,\nnearly 500 to 600 have been completed. We are targeting completion\naround early to mid-November, after which other construction stages,\nsuch as foundations and steel structures, can proceed,\u201d Dimas said in\nJakarta on Monday (19 October 2026).<\/p>\n
The three Phase I PSEL facilities are expected to process more than\n1,500 tonnes of waste per day. They will generate between 31 and 36\nmegawatts of electricity, all of which will be purchased by state-owned\nelectricity company PT PLN (Persero) under a power purchase agreement\n(PPA).<\/p>\n
\u201cWaste managed from municipal and other sources will generate around\n31 to 36 megawatts of electricity, which PLN will purchase under the\nagreed PPA. Construction remains on track,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Denera Chief Executive Officer Fadli Rahman said the accelerated\nPhase I projects are targeted to begin commercial operations in the\nfirst half of 2028.<\/p>\n
He said sites that had previously comprised swamp and lake areas had\nnow been prepared as construction-ready land.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf we look back, the Presidential Regulation was only issued on 19\nOctober 2025, and today marks exactly one year. After one year,\nconstruction is under way at all three sites and piling has already\nstarted. Hopefully, by the end of next year we will have\nwaste-processing facilities in operation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Progress at the three initial PSEL sites is expected to act as a\ncatalyst for more integrated national waste management, from collection\nthrough processing. The projects are supported by a one-stop service\nscheme involving Danantara and Denera, which is intended to reduce risks\nrelated to permits, land provision and electricity purchase agreements\nfor investors.<\/p>\n
The three PSEL projects whose construction has officially begun are\nDenpasar Raya, Kota Bekasi and Bogor Raya 1. Details follow.<\/p>\n
1. PSEL Denpasar Raya<\/strong><\/p>\n Danantara Indonesia\u2019s Investment Management Agency officially began\nconstruction of the Denpasar Raya PSEL project in Bali on 8 July 2026.\nThe facility is designed to meet European environmental standards.<\/p>\n Danantara Indonesia Chief Investment Officer Pandu Sjahrir said the\nconstruction launch took place alongside the signing of a power purchase\nagreement.<\/p>\n \u201cToday, Wednesday 8 July 2026, PSEL Denpasar Raya has reached an\nimportant milestone with the signing of the Power Purchase Agreement and\nthe official launch of construction. This marks the project\u2019s readiness\nto advance an integrated waste-management solution in Indonesia,\nbeginning in Denpasar Raya,\u201d Pandu said at the launch ceremony on\nWednesday (8 July 2026).<\/p>\n He said the Bali facility was designed with reference to the European\nIndustrial Emissions Directive (EU IED), a standard intended to ensure\nthat waste processing is environmentally friendly.<\/p>\n \u201cThis Bali PSEL is designed to deliver a tangible impact on waste\nmanagement, green energy and the local economy, while advancing the\nstandards of the European Industrial Emissions Directive, or EU IED,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n Pandu said the facility is expected to process more than 500,000\ntonnes of waste a year, or over 40 per cent of Bali\u2019s waste generation.\nThe project is also forecast to cut emissions from the landfill by up to\n80 per cent and reduce carbon emissions by about 640,000 tonnes of CO2 a\nyear.<\/p>\n \u201cOn the energy side, this initiative will generate green energy to\nsupply around 100,000 homes in Bali. The project is worth Rp3 trillion,\nis expected to create 1,200 green jobs and will reduce the land required\nfor landfill by around 80 per cent,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n 2. PSEL Kota Bekasi<\/strong><\/p>\n Danantara Indonesia officially launched construction of a\nwaste-to-energy facility in Ciketing Udik, Bantar Gebang, Bekasi, West\nJava, on Wednesday 26 August 2026.<\/p>\n The facility is expected to process 500,000 tonnes of waste a year,\nor around 1,500 tonnes a day. The electricity generated is expected to\nsupply 100,000 homes, while the project is forecast to create more than\n1,000 jobs.<\/p>\n The PSEL project, with an investment value of Rp3 trillion, is\ndesigned to process 70 per cent of the area\u2019s total waste\ngeneration.<\/p>\n Danantara Chief Investment Officer Pandu Sjahrir said the facility\nwould reduce the land needed for landfill by up to 90 per cent and\ncreate 1,000 new jobs.<\/p>\n He said the project had undergone an evaluation process since January\n2026, beginning with six consortia and resulting in two selected\npartners.<\/p>\n \u201cThe project is expected to manage more than 500,000 tonnes of waste\na year, or around 70 per cent of the waste generated in Bekasi City.\nEnvironmentally, PSEL Kota Bekasi is also projected to cut\nlandfill-related waste emissions by up to 80 per cent and reduce carbon\nemissions by 640,000 tonnes of CO2 equivalent a year,\u201d he said at the\ngroundbreaking ceremony in Ciketing Udik, Bantar Gebang, Bekasi, on\nWednesday (26 August 2026).<\/p>\n The infrastructure is designed to supply electricity to 55,000\nhouseholds in Bekasi. In addition to reducing carbon emissions by\n640,000 tonnes a year, the project will adopt the European Industrial\nEmissions Directive (EU IED) environmental standards in its\noperations.<\/p>\n \u201cOn the energy side, this initiative will generate green energy to\nsupply 55,000 homes in Bekasi City. The project, valued at Rp3 trillion,\nis expected to create around 1,000 green jobs and reduce the land needed\nfor landfill by around 90 per cent,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n 3. PSEL Bogor Raya<\/strong><\/p>\n Danantara Indonesia, through PT Danantara Investment Management (DIM)\nand PT Daya Energi Bersih Nusantara (Denera), officially began\nconstruction of the PSEL Bogor Raya 1 facility in Galuga Village,\nCibungbulang district, Bogor regency, on Thursday 17 September 2026.<\/p>\n PSEL Bogor Raya 1 is the third waste-to-energy facility to enter\nconstruction, following the Denpasar Raya and Kota Bekasi projects.\nServing the Bogor regency and Bogor city agglomeration, it forms part of\nDanantara Indonesia\u2019s effort to accelerate sustainable, technology-based\nurban waste-management solutions in line with Presidential Regulation\nNo.\u00a0109 of 2025.<\/p>\n Pandu Sjahrir, Danantara Indonesia\u2019s chief investment officer, said\nPSEL Bogor Raya 1 was designed to have a tangible impact on waste\nmanagement, green energy development and local economic empowerment.<\/p>\n \u201cThe project is expected to manage more than 500,000 tonnes of waste\na year, reduce emissions from landfill by up to 80 per cent and cut\ncarbon emissions by around 640,000 tonnes of CO2 equivalent a year,\u201d\nPandu said on Thursday (17 September 2026).<\/p>\n Zulkifli Hasan, Indonesia\u2019s Coordinating Minister for Food Affairs,\nsaid the waste problem was an emergency that needed to be addressed.\n\u201cThere used to be around 160 regulations that made the process\ncomplicated; now we have cut them down to just three. This will allow\nwaste-to-energy projects to proceed more quickly and benefit the\npublic,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n PSEL Bogor Raya 1 is intended not only to provide an environmental\nsolution but also to create sustainable economic value and new\nopportunities for local communities, including around 1,200 green jobs.\nThe project is designed to catalyse a sustainable waste-management\necosystem and support the development of a circular economy.<\/p>",
