Danantara Invites Private Sector to Invest in Waste-to-Energy Projects
Jakarta, VIVA – The Daya Anagata Nusantara Investment Management Agency (BPI Danantara) plans to invest in waste-to-energy projects.
Danantara Chief Executive Officer Rosan Roeslani explained that his organisation is inviting private sector players to jointly develop these renewable energy projects. Rosan said Danantara has a role in accelerating waste-to-energy initiatives across various regions.
Rosan noted that Danantara would consider the returns to be gained from such investments. "Danantara's role is naturally to accelerate waste-to-energy development in collaboration with regional governments, and in our investments we also have criteria in terms of return and yield, which we continue to follow," Rosan told reporters at the Presidential Palace Complex in Jakarta on Tuesday, 10 June 2025.
Based on calculations, investment in waste-to-energy projects meets Danantara's criteria. The agency will therefore invite the private sector to co-invest in the sector.
"The discussions went very well, and as long as it meets our investment criteria, we will invest. We will not invest alone — we will also invite the private sector to invest alongside Danantara in waste-to-energy," he said.
Meanwhile, Minister of Environment Hanif Faisol revealed that President Prabowo Subianto is giving full attention to the waste problem. Prabowo has set a target in the National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) to resolve the waste issue by 2029.
"We have drawn up various strategies through several approaches — from upstream approaches, 3R waste processing facilities (reduce, reuse, recycle), integrated waste processing facilities (TPST), and downstream approaches including waste-to-energy and refuse-derived fuel (RDF)," he said.
Hanif added that President Prabowo has also instructed his officials and regional governments to accelerate efforts to resolve the waste problem. "Together with the Minister of Home Affairs, we will lead further discussions on resolution measures in accordance with the President's directives," he said.
