PT PLN (Persero) is supporting the acceleration of three domestic\nWaste-to-Energy (PSEL) projects. The three projects are located in\nDenpasar, Bogor, and Bekasi respectively.<\/p>\n
PLN\u2019s President Director, Darmawan Prasodjo, affirmed the company\u2019s\nreadiness to serve as the buyer or off-taker of the electricity produced\nfrom these waste processing facilities.<\/p>\n
He has also instructed the technical team to map interconnection\nroutes to ensure efficient integration into the national electricity\nsystem.<\/p>\n
\u201cPLN has mapped the nearest interconnection points from the PSEL\nlocations to be built, so that the connection process is faster and more\nefficient in line with the project development targets. PLN is also\naccelerating the initial PJBL discussions, so that stages that usually\ntake several months can be shortened,\u201d he stated in an official remark,\nquoted on Monday (27\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n
The construction of this infrastructure involves collaboration\nbetween local governments and several project implementing business\nentities.<\/p>\n
This commitment was marked by the signing of Cooperation Agreements\nbetween the Bali Provincial Government and Bogor with PT Zhejiang\nWeiming, as well as the Bekasi City Government with PT Wangneng Bekasi\nEnvironmental Nusantara.<\/p>\n
The signing was witnessed directly by the Coordinating Minister for\nFood Affairs Zulkifli Hasan, Minister of Environment Hanif Faisol\nNurofiq, Deputy Minister of Home Affairs Bima Arya Sugiarto, CIO of\nDanantara Indonesia Pandu Patria Sjahrir, West Java Governor Dedi\nMulyadi, Bali Governor I Wayan Koster, and PLN President Director\nDarmawan Prasodjo.<\/p>\n
The signing of this Cooperation Agreement took place at the Office of\nthe Coordinating Ministry for Food Affairs, Jakarta, on Tuesday\n(21\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n
PLN as the electricity buyer is considered vital to improving project\nviability and opening access to financing for green infrastructure\ndevelopers.<\/p>\n
\u201cPLN welcomes this cooperation signing as a concrete step to\naccelerate the PSEL project. We ensure that the generated electricity\ncan be integrated into the national electricity system and reused by the\ncommunity,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, Coordinating Minister for Food Affairs Zulkifli\nHasan reminded of the importance of ensuring a steady daily supply of\nwaste as the main raw material so that power plant operations are not\ndisrupted. He encouraged local governments in agglomeration areas to\ncollaborate in meeting the required waste volume quota.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are already in a waste emergency category. Therefore, this\nproject must be monitored to be completed on time, while ensuring the\navailability of raw materials,\u201d explained Zulkifli Hasan.<\/p>\n
The implementation of PSEL in these three major cities is expected to\nsignificantly reduce urban waste accumulation while improving the\nquality of living environment. In addition, this project is part of\nPresident Prabowo Subianto\u2019s directives to accelerate the resolution of\nnational waste issues through the utilisation of clean energy\ntechnology.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/three-waste-to-energy-projects-under-construction-pln-ready-to-purchase-the-electricity-1777287295", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
