Danantara Launches Rp2.8tn Waste-to-Energy Project in Bogor
Danantara inaugurated the construction of the Rp2.8 trillion Bogor Raya Waste-to-Energy Power Plant (PSEL) targeted for completion by mid-2028.
Danantara, the Daya Anagata Nusantara Investment Management Agency, has commenced construction of a groundbreaking waste-to-energy power plant in Bogor. The Bogor Raya Waste-to-Energy Power Plant (PSEL) will be built in Galuga Village, Cibungbulang District, Bogor Regency. This Rp2.8 trillion project will result in the creation of 1,200 jobs and drastically reduce landfill usage by an estimated 80 percent, according to Pandu Patria Syahrir, Danantara's Chief Investment Officer.
The ceremony marking the groundbreaking took place on September 17, 2026, in Galuga Village, Bogor. The facility will process over 500,000 tons of waste annually, diverting 45 percent of the total waste generated in Bogor City and Bogor Regency. This initiative will also reduce emissions by 640,000 metric tons of carbon equivalent from landfills while shrinking waste disposal site requirements by 80 percent.
From an energy standpoint, the project is expected to supply more than 100,000 households in the Greater Bogor area with clean, green power. The international team involved in this endeavor includes experts from Malaysia, Kuwait, Thailand, Australia, Germany, Indonesia, China, and Ireland. The PSEL Bogor Raya 1 is set to commence operations by mid-2028 under the management of the Nusantara Bogor New Energy Development and Management Entity (BUPP).
Danantara is also planning to build a secondary plant, PSEL Bogor Raya 2, in the Kayumanis area of Bogor City. Earlier this year, Danantara initiated construction of waste-to-energy facilities in Denpasar and Bekasi. This project is being led by an international corporate consortium.
