Jakarta Launches Waste-to-Energy Projects to Tackle Mounting Garbage Crisis
Jakarta. The Jakarta provincial government has signed an agreement to develop three waste-to-energy power plants in a joint effort with the central government to address the capital’s mounting waste problem, Governor Pramono Anung said on Thursday.
The projects will be located in Bantargebang, Sunter, and Tanjung, with a combined waste processing capacity of up to 4,000 tons per day.
Pramono said Jakarta currently generates around 7,000 tons of waste daily for potential processing, with volumes expected to rise to as much as 10,000 tons per day.
“If additional waste can be processed, Jakarta’s waste problem will be effectively addressed,” he told reporters.
Under a presidential regulation issued last year, electricity generated from waste-to-energy plants will be sold to state utility PLN at a tariff of $0.2 per kilowatt hour (kWh).
Pramono said the regulation is expected to boost investor interest in developing waste-to-energy projects across Indonesia, including in Jakarta.
