Three First Wave Waste Processing Projects Officially Granted PSN Status

The government has designated three Waste-to-Energy (PSEL) facility projects as National Strategic Projects (PSN). These three projects include PSEL facilities in Bekasi, Bogor Raya, and Denlar Raya, which constitute the first wave of PSEL project implementation.

This designation refers to the Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Regulation Number 16 of 2025, which includes the Integrated Waste Management Programme in the National Strategic Project List, as well as Presidential Regulation Number 35 of 2018 and Presidential Regulation Number 109 of 2025 regarding the acceleration of the development of waste-to-energy facilities based on environmentally friendly technology.

The PSN status confirms that the construction of waste-to-energy facilities is now part of the national priority agenda. In addition to contributing to the resolution of urban waste issues, these projects are also expected to support the increase of the renewable energy mix, emission reduction, and the development of more sustainable urban infrastructure.

As a company formed to develop the national PSEL platform, PT Daya Energi Bersih Nusantara (Denera), a subsidiary of PT Danantara Investment Management (DIM), is tasked with developing waste-to-energy projects through strategic investment, technology selection, and cross-sector partnerships.

The Chief Executive Officer of PT Danantara Investment Management (DIM), Pandu Sjahrir, stated that the PSN status designation for these three projects marks an important momentum in building the foundation of the PSEL industry in Indonesia.

“The designation of PSN status for these first-wave locations demonstrates the government’s commitment to providing integrated solutions to address the waste crisis. This initiative includes improving waste management systems, reducing dependence on landfills (TPA), and optimising the utilisation of waste into energy,” Pandu said in a statement on Wednesday (10/6/2026).

The PSN status was granted through the National Strategic Project Certificate issued by the Committee for the Acceleration of Priority Infrastructure Provision (KPPIP) under the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs to each Business Entity for Development and Management (BUPP) at the three locations.

The three BUPPs that have obtained PSN status are PSEL Bekasi City (West Java Province) implemented by Bekasi Environment Nusantara, PULSE Bogor Raya (West Java Province) implemented by Nusantara Bogor New Energy, and PSEL Denpasar Raya (Bali Province) implemented by Nusantara Bali New Energy.

These three BUPPs were formed based on the results of the PSEL partner selection by DIM. The BUPPs are responsible for the development and implementation of projects in each location according to the plans and governance agreed upon with the government.

With the PSN status, these projects will receive implementation support through strengthened coordination across ministries and agencies, facilitation of project obstacle resolution, and various instruments required to ensure construction proceeds efficiently and meets targets.

“The designation of PSN status shows that waste management through PSEL is no longer merely a regional need, but part of a national strategic interest. For Denera, this status not only accelerates realisation in the three initial locations but also serves as an important stepping stone for the development of PSEL facilities in subsequent locations,” said Denera Chief Executive Officer Fadli Rahman.

Fadli stated that as part of the efforts for national waste management transformation, DIM and Denera view these three projects as the initial foundation for developing the PSEL ecosystem in Indonesia.

He added that through collaboration with the central government, local governments, technology partners, and various stakeholders, Denera strives to provide solutions that not only address urban waste challenges but also create sustainable environmental, social, and economic value for the community.
