Bali newsBali6 min read
Indonesia's sovereign wealth fund, Danantara, has started building its first waste-to-energy WtE project in Bali. Ground was broken on the Denpasar Raya waste-to-energy plant on July 8. This facility is Danantara's initial investment in the WtE sector, aligning with Indonesia's energy transition and circular economy goals. The plant is designed to process over 500,000 tons of municipal solid waste annually, reducing landfill waste by up to 80% and generating electricity for the local grid. Officials at the groundbreaking ceremony stated the plant is expected to supply electricity to approximately 100,000 households and avoid about 640,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions each year. The project will also create around 1,200 green jobs during its development and operation. China’s Zhejiang Weiming Environment Protection Co. Ltd. is investing in and constructing the project, with Danantara providing strategic investment. Bali Governor Wayan Koster indicated that construction is expected to take two years before commercial operation begins. This project addresses Indonesia's increasing municipal waste, particularly in tourist areas like Bali, and aims to serve as a model for similar developments nationwide.
