Danantara to Announce Winners of Bali and Bekasi WTE Project Tenders

Jakarta—The Investment Management Agency Daya Anagata Nusantara (BPI Danantara) has confirmed that it will announce the winners of the tender for the first phase Waste-to-Energy (WTE) or waste-to-electricity projects for two cities: Bali (Denpasar) and Bekasi in the near future.

This announcement forms part of a broader programme covering four cities planned to host WTE projects, namely Bekasi, Denpasar, Yogyakarta, and Bogor.

Fadli Rahman, Director of Investments at Danantara Investment Management (DIM), stated that the company targets completing the announcement of selected partners for Denpasar and Bekasi by March 2026.

“So our intention is really to communicate to prospective partners that yes, you have been selected as our partner for Denpasar and Bekasi in the near future,” said Fadli at Wisma Danantara on Thursday, 26 February 2026.

He explained that the tender process for Bali, Bekasi, Bogor, and Yogyakarta is currently underway. However, the formal signing of agreements for the winners of all four tenders is planned for the second week of March by CEO of BPI Danantara Rosan Roeslani.

“This will be announced; it is planned to be signed by Mr Rosan (Danantara’s CEO) in March 2026,” he said.

Meanwhile, for the two subsequent locations—Bogor and Yogyakarta—the process of selecting partners is targeted to be completed in the second week of March, around 11–13 March.

“That will then be announced by Mr Rosan. So Mr Rosan will announce all four locations in the second week of March,” he said.

As noted, the Waste-to-Energy (WTE) programme has now entered the tender phase. A total of 24 experienced international companies are registered as participants in the process.

All participants who pass the selection are required to form consortiums as part of the tender requirements. Of the 24 total participants, 20 companies are from China, three from Japan, and one from France.

“When we opened the tender recently, we said that there is value for a local partner. So they’ve already partnered beforehand. When they submitted their proposals, they already said I’m partnering with company A. Some are private companies and some are state-owned enterprises. So it’s up to them,” said Fadli.
