Indonesia: Ministry to Continue Waste-fired Power Plant Programs in 7 Cities

Indonesia: Ministry to Continue Waste-fired Power Plant Programs in 7 Cities

Waste Management Director of the Environment and Forestry Ministry R.
Sudirman said the development of waste-fired power plants in even cities
would still proceed as planned.

The decision was made although the Supreme Court annulled the legal basis of
the program as it was considered not environmentally friendly.

"It will still proceed," Sudirman said.

He added that the Presidential Regulation Number 18 of 2016 on the
acceleration of waste-fired power plants in Greater Jakarta, Tangerang,
Bandung, Semarang, Surakarta, Surabaya, and Makassar annulled by the supreme
court is not the only legal basis for the program.

Sudirman added that program has been included in the National Strategic
Policies and Presidential Regulation Number 18. He also said the seven
cities appointed to develop the power plants also have problems in waste
management.
