Danantara Establishes New SOE Denera, Focused on Waste-to-Energy Projects

Jakarta - Badan Pengelola Investasi Daya Anagata Nusantara (Danantara Indonesia) has established a new state-owned enterprise (SOE) named Daya Energi Bersih Nusantara, or Denera.

The company focuses on developing Waste to Energy (WtE) programmes, or Pengolahan Sampah Menjadi Energi Listrik (PSEL).

The formation of Denera took place on 1 April 2026. The company becomes a subsidiary of PT Danantara Investment Management (DIM).

Lead of Waste-to-Energy and Director of Investment at Danantara Investment Management, Fadli Rahman, stated that Denera will directly execute PSEL projects.

“Daya Energi Bersih Nusantara is a newly formed company by Danantara Investment Management on 1 April 2026, which focuses on implementing the PSEL programme,” Fadli said during the Danantara Indonesia Media Briefing at Wisma Danantara, Jakarta, on Thursday (9/4/2026).

Each PSEL unit development requires an investment of Rp 2.5 trillion to Rp 2.8 trillion. The ownership structure is set at 70 percent for the Business Entity for Development and Management (BUPP) partners, while the remainder is owned by Denera.

“Denera will also be an integrated company in waste management. So, integrated waste management is something that must be focused on, particularly PSEL,” he said.

Fadli views PSEL projects as the main driver in building an integrated waste management system. These projects not only generate electricity but also cover waste management from upstream to downstream.

“And how we will educate the public to manage waste better because culture also needs to change in waste management. We will also focus on developing waste other than household waste, such as industrial waste,” Fadli concluded.
