SHANGHAI, Aug. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Since the issuance of Presidential Regulation No. 35 of 2018 on accelerating the development of waste-to-energy power plants, Indonesia has made limited progress in this area.

In September 2024, the project company signed a Cooperation Agreement with Makassar City government and is currently in the PPA negotiation phase.
