Indonesia’s sovereign wealth agency, BPI Danantara, has shortlisted 24 foreign companies to participate in the tender for seven waste-to-energy (WTE) projects, scheduled to begin on Thursday, November 6, 2025.
Danantara’s Chief Investment Officer, Pandu Patria Sjahrir, said the 24 companies were selected from more than 200 global applicants based on their technological capabilities.
“From these 24 WTE technology providers, we require them to form a consortium with local companies before submitting bids for the tender,” Pandu said on Monday, November 3, 2025.
He emphasized that forming joint ventures with local firms is crucial for technology transfer. This will allow Indonesian companies to participate directly in the third wave of WTE tenders in the near future.
BPI Danantara targets all seven WTE projects − to be located in Denpasar, Yogyakarta, Semarang, Bogor Raya, Tangerang Raya, Bekasi Raya, and Medan Raya − to enter the construction phase by early next year and begin operations by April 2026.
Most of the shortlisted companies are from China, Japan, and Europe, namely:
● Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Environmental & Chemical Engineering;
● ITOCHU Corporation;
● China Everbright Environment Group Limited;
● Kanadevia Corporation;
● PT MCC Technology Indonesia (MCC);
● China National Environmental Protection Group Co., Ltd (CECEP);
● GCL Intelligent Energy (Suzhou) Co., Ltd;
● Chongqing Sanfeng Environment Group Corp., Ltd;
● Dynagreen Environmental Protection Group Co., Ltd;
● SUS Indonesia Holding Limited;
● Veolia Environmental Services Asia Pte. Ltd;
● Hunan Construction Engineering Group Co., Ltd;
● CEVIA Enviro Inc.;
● China Conch Venture Holding Limited;
● China TianYing Inc;
● PT Jinjiang Environment Indonesia;
● Wangneng Environment Co., Ltd;
● Zhejiang Weiming Environment Protection Co., Ltd;
● Beijing China Sciences Runyu Environmental Technology Co., Ltd (CSET);
● Tianjin TEDA Environmental Protection Co., Ltd;
● Grandblue Environment Co., Ltd;
● Beijing GeoEnviron Engineering & Technology, Inc;
● Wuhan Tianyuan Group Co., Ltd;
● QiaoYin City Management Co., Ltd.
Pandu explained that the upcoming WTE projects will use pure incineration technology, unlike existing PLTSa (waste-to-energy plants) in Jakarta and Surakarta, which use Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF) and methane recovery, respectively.
“This technology can process nearly all types of municipal waste and convert them into three main outputs: energy, fly ash, and bottom ash,” Pandu said, adding that the system is already used in over 75 percent of WTE facilities in Europe, China, and Singapore.
He also assured that all shortlisted companies possess European-standard emission control systems.
Meanwhile, Deputy Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Yuliot Tanjung said incinerator-based WTE technology has proven effective in countries like Singapore and is already being introduced in several Indonesian cities, including Surabaya.
“For example, if a city processes 1,500 tons of waste daily, it can generate up to 30 MW of power—depending on the technology’s scale and configuration,” Yuliot said, adding that smaller regions could combine waste supplies to meet the minimum capacity for WTE operations.
