ASIATODAY.ID, JAKARTA — Indonesia’s Danantara Investment Management Agency has officially announced 24 companies shortlisted in the first batch of the Selected Provider List (DPT) for the country’s Waste-to-Energy (WTE) or PLTSa (Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Sampah) projects.
The majority of these companies are from China, with no local Indonesian firms included in this initial round.
Danantara’s Managing Director of Investment, Stefanus Ade, explained that the absence of local companies was not due to exclusion but because no domestic firms currently possess the technical capabilities to develop and operate Waste-to-Energy facilities.
“In this first list, there are no local emitents yet because none have the technical capacity for PSEL,” Stefanus told reporters in Jakarta, Monday, November 3, 2025.
Meanwhile, Danantara’s Chief Investment Officer, Pandu Sjahrir, assured that Indonesian participation will be encouraged in future phases. He noted that around 200 companies, both domestic and international, have expressed strong interest in the project — a sign of high investor confidence in Indonesia’s renewable energy transition.
“We are optimistic that several local companies will join and partner with the shortlisted DPT participants in this initial batch,” Pandu said.

Seven Priority WTE Projects in Indonesia’s First Tender Phase
The seven regions prioritized in this tender round have been selected based on waste generation volume and infrastructure readiness:
– Denpasar

– Semarang
– Greater Bogor

Each location has a minimum of 5 hectares of available land, daily household waste exceeding 1,000 tons, and logistics capacity to accommodate up to 300 waste trucks per day.
Advancing Green Energy and the Circular Economy
The Waste-to-Energy program represents a cornerstone of Indonesia’s commitment to green energy transition and carbon emission reduction.
Through this collaboration between Danantara and international partners, the government aims to build a sustainable circular economy — transforming urban waste management into a renewable energy source while strengthening national energy security. (AT Network)
