Danantara Announces 85 New Partners for Waste-to-Energy Project
Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia — Danantara Investment Management (DIM) has announced the results of the Selection List of Eligible Providers (Daftar Penyedia Terseleksi, DPT) for prospective partners in the waste-to-energy facility project (PSEL) on 21 May 2026.
This selection forms part of the second wave of partner selections for the Cooperation between Development and Management Entities for Waste Processing Based on Environmentally Friendly Technology to Become Energy (BUPP PSEL).
The selection process continues the first wave, previously conducted in three regions: Bekasi City, Greater Bogor, and Greater Denpasar.
Earlier, Danantara Indonesia had opened opportunities for domestic or international business entities that have experience, capacity, and capability in developing PSEL projects to participate in forming the DPT as a pre-qualification stage.
Companies listed in the DPT will become potential partners that may be involved in developing the PSEL project in Indonesia in subsequent stages.
Overall, the second-wave DPT consists of 85 entities. The designation of the second-wave DPT includes additional companies and new consortia, and also includes participants from the first wave.
The significant increase from 24 participants in the first wave to 85 participants in the second wave reflects the high interest and confidence of business players in the PSEL programme, which will be managed by PT Daya Energi Bersih Nusantara (Denera), a subsidiary of DIM.
The DPT second wave also shows the widening of global participation, with the involvement of companies and consortia from various countries, including Indonesia, Singapore, India, South Korea, China, Japan and France. This expansion enriches the range of technology options, financing structures, and partnership models in the development of PSEL.
National company participation is also strongly visible in this second wave, with 16 local companies recorded in the DPT gelombang kedua consortium.
This reflects the domestic industry’s readiness to engage more in the development of large-scale waste processing infrastructure, in line with the mandate in Presidential Regulation No. 109 of 2025 to continue to consider the involvement of domestic industry players in big-scale waste processing infrastructure.
Fadli Rahman, CEO of Denera and Director of Investment at DIM, said that the increase in participants from domestic and international sources demonstrates that the PSEL programme has strong investment appeal and is run with credible governance.
“We remain committed to ensuring that all PSEL partner selection processes are conducted transparently and competitively, so as to produce partners capable of supporting integrated waste management and contributing to solving Indonesia’s waste emergency,” Fadli said, quoted from the official statement, Friday (22 May 2026).
As the next step, DIM will issue the Terms of Reference (ToR) to participants who passed the DPT BUPP PSEL and will provide further information on the schedule and procedures for the next stage in a separate notice.
The list of 85 entities declared to have passed the DPT BUPP PSEL second wave can be viewed on Danantara Indonesia’s official website.
