Danantara Reopens Partner Selection to Accelerate Waste-to-Energy Projects

JAKARTA – PT Danantara Investment Management (DIM) has reopened registration for its Selected Providers List (DPT) to recruit partners for waste-to-energy (PSEL) projects in Indonesia. The selection is open to national and international companies and consortia with technical capability through to project financing.

The prequalification process is being carried out through DIM’s subsidiary, PT Daya Energi Bersih Nusantara (Denera). Registration was reopened after two previous prequalification rounds attracted participation from companies across seven countries.

The PSEL programme is based on Presidential Regulation No. 109 of 2025, which provides the foundation for accelerating the development of waste-to-energy facilities. The projects are aimed at tackling urban waste problems whilst generating energy from waste processing.

In this selection round, DIM and Denera are seeking companies or consortium members with a track record in PSEL project development, engineering, procurement and construction (EPC), technology provision, operations and maintenance (O&M), project financing, and related infrastructure services.

The selection will consider technical capability, funding capacity, experience, and companies’ ability to execute large-scale projects.

DIM Investment Director and Chief Executive Officer of Denera, Fadli Rahman, said the DPT expansion was undertaken to add prospective partners that could be involved in PSEL project development.

“Indonesia’s waste management challenges cannot be solved through individual projects alone. We need an ecosystem of credible partners with technology, funding capacity, operational capability, and long-term commitment to execute projects at scale,” Fadli said in a statement on Wednesday (5/8/2026).

Through the DPT registration, Fadli said, Danantara is expanding this ecosystem whilst opening opportunities for more national and international businesses to bring their best experience and capabilities into Indonesia’s PSEL programme.

“Our priorities remain the same: strong partnerships, proven capabilities, and execution that delivers real impact on the ground,” Fadli said.

PT Indonesia Infrastructure Finance (IIF) has been appointed as the Registration and Verification Agent for the DPT registration process.

Interested parties may contact IIF via the official DPT registration email address at danantara.wtepartnership@iif.co.id.

Fadli explained that IIF will handle the registration process and provide a registration package to companies interested in taking part in the prequalification. The package contains the Expression of Interest (EOI) requirements, supporting documents to be submitted, the document submission mechanism, the implementation schedule, and access to a virtual data room.
