An Indonesian renewable energy company, PT Maharaksa Biru Energi (OASA), through its subsidiary PT Indoplas Energy Hijau (IEH), has established a joint venture with Chinese waste management technology provider China Tianying Inc. (CNTY) for waste management project near the capital Jakarta. 

The new entity, PT Indoplas Tianying Energy, will serve as the implementing body for the construction of a Waste-to-Energy Plant (PSEL) at the Cipeucang landfill in South Tangerang, which borders with South Jakarta.

The IEH-CNTY consortium previously won the government tender for the strategic PSEL project. Backed by an investment of Rp2.6 trillion (US$158.6 million), the plant will be developed under a Build–Operate–Transfer (BOT) scheme with a 30-year concession period.

The facility is designed to process 1,100 tons of waste per day, consisting of 1,000 tons of new waste and 100 tons of legacy waste, using the modern and environmentally friendly Moving Grate Incinerator (MGI) technology. It is expected to generate up to 23.5 megawatts (MW) of electricity, which will be distributed to the national grid.

Bobby Gafur Umar, President Director of PT Indoplas Tianying Energy, said the joint venture marks a significant step in creating sustainable solutions for urban waste management.

“The South Tangerang Waste-to-Energy Plant will be our concrete contribution to supporting the government’s program to reduce waste volume while providing clean energy for the community,” Bobby said as quoted in a media statement on Wednesday, September 10, 2025.

Construction of the PSEL is scheduled to begin in early 2026, with completion expected within three years. Once operational, the facility is projected to become a model for technology-based waste management in Indonesia, while also advancing the country’s clean energy transition.
