PT Danantara Investment Management (DIM), a sovereign wealth fund of Indonesia, has opened registration for companies seeking to become prospective investment partners in Indonesia’s Waste-to-Energy (WtE) infrastructure program.

In a press release on Thursday, the fund said the initiative is aimed at accelerating sustainable urban waste management and addressing growing waste challenges. As part of the program, DIM is establishing a Verified Providers List, a prequalified pool of companies eligible to participate in the development of Waste-to-Energy Facility Projects (PSEL) across Indonesia.

The program is part of the government’s broader regulatory framework on the conversion of urban waste into energy using eco-friendly technologies. DIM welcomes domestic and international companies with relevant experience in WtE development.

Eligible applicants include business entities established in Indonesia or in countries with diplomatic relations with Indonesia. Companies may apply individually or as part of a consortium.

Interested companies must submit an Expression of Interest via official corporate email before proceeding to registration. The deadline for submitting Expressions of Interest is April 14, with submissions processed on a first-come, first-served basis.

The registration submission period will run from March 25 to April 25.

DIM will also hold two rounds of virtual technical discussion sessions on March 26 and April 1, each consisting of two sessions to accommodate participants from different regions.
