Danantara Indonesia, a sovereign wealth fund, has commenced construction on a 3 trillion rupiah $166 million waste-to-energy plant in Bali. Located in Pedungan Village, Denpasar, the facility will process up to 1,500 tons of waste daily from Denpasar and Badung, aiming to handle over 40% of Bali's total waste generation. Operations are expected to begin in the first half of 2028.
