Danantara Opens Global Investment Doors for Waste-to-Energy Projects

JAKARTA — The government has begun accelerating efforts to address energy transition and urban waste management crises.

Through PT Danantara Investment Management (PT DIM), the state is now seeking high-capacity partners at both national and international levels to undertake the Waste Processing to Electrical Energy Facility Project (PSEL).

This concrete step began with the establishment of a Verified Participant List (DPT), which serves as a rigorous pre-qualification instrument to screen business entities with genuine track records, financial capacity, and mastery of Waste-to-Energy (WtE) technology.

The PSEL project is established under Presidential Regulation (Perpres) Number 109 of 2025. Additionally, the project will employ a Public-Private Cooperation (KPBU) scheme as regulated under Perpres Number 38 of 2015.

The use of the KPBU scheme demonstrates the government’s intention to share risks and expertise with the private sector to ensure this infrastructure project is not only constructed but also operationally sustainable.

Participation in the DPT formation process is open to both individual companies and consortiums, whether domestic or foreign, provided they maintain diplomatic relations with Indonesia. To ensure a credible process, PT DIM has appointed an independent Registration and Verification Agent (R&V Agent).

“This programme aims to ensure that the DPT formation process is carried out in a transparent, systematic manner with good governance,” stated an official statement from PT Danantara Investment Management received on Monday, 16 March 2026.

The period for submitting verification documents is scheduled from 25 March 2026 to 25 April 2026.

To align understanding regarding technical mechanisms, PT DIM will conduct technical discussions (Aanwijzing) online across two main cycles.
