Country Overview

With a population around 250 million, Indonesia is the fourth most populous country and is a home to the world’s 16th largest economy. The speed and scale of urban growth is astounding, 53% of population lives in cities, not only producing 74% of GDP but also at least 200.000 tonnes of waste per day. 

The management of waste is becoming a major problem in Indonesia as the cities are growing even faster than the infrastructure development.

Opportunities for waste management companies to provide waste-to-energy solutions in 7 Indonesian cities.

Management of waste is becoming a major problem in Indonesia. Early this year the Indonesian government issued Presidential Decree No. 18 of 2016 to accelerate the development of waste-to-energy in 7 cities, namely:

• Jakarta
• Tangerang
• Bandung
• Semarang
• Surakarta
• Surabaya
• Makassar

Currently Indonesia is facing difficulties in implementing PPP projects due to the complexity of tender process. However, this regulation provides a shortcut and allows the city mayors to directly appoint developers for waste-to-energy projects, creating immediate opportunities. To that end, the government seeks participation by companies providing waste-to-energy technologies besides incineration, such as gasification and pyrolysis. A minimum 1000 tonnes of waste per day will be processed, and the State Utility guarantees the purchase of electricity produced by the facility. Under the Waste Law, the government will finance waste management activities from the state/regional budget. In addition, Feed in Tariff for electricity generated from Municipal Waste is available at between US$ 18,77 to 22,43 cents per kiloWatt Hour.
