Denpasar — Danantara officials inspected the Bali waste-to-energy project in Pedungan, South Denpasar, on Nov. 5, 2026, and said its progress could make it a national model for waste management.
The inspection was received by Denpasar Deputy Mayor I Kadek Agus Arya Wibawa and attended by representatives of the Bali Provincial Government, Denpasar City Government, Danantara, PT PLN (Persero), PT Daya Energi Bersih Nusantara (Denera) and other parties. Muliaman Darmansyah Hadad, Deputy Chairman of the Supervisory Board of BPI Danantara, praised the project’s development as showing strong and concrete progress.
The facility is designed to process 1,500 tons of waste per day and has a potential annual electricity output of 240 GWh. It is being built on six hectares, with an average energy capacity of 30 MW, and is targeted for completion within 24 months.
Why the Bali project matters to readers
For residents and visitors, the project matters because it links Bali’s waste-management pressures with electricity generation in a single public infrastructure scheme. The facility is in Pedungan, South Denpasar, within the Greater Denpasar area, rather than at a remote industrial site. Its stated purpose is to reduce the volume of waste requiring disposal while producing electricity for the grid.
PT Daya Energi Bersih Nusantara said the project’s Basic Engineering Design had been completed with 386 drawings. The main machinery and equipment were still being ordered and fabricated at the time of the inspection. The site’s planned 30 MW average capacity and 240 GWh annual electricity potential describe the project’s intended operating scale, not electricity already being supplied.
The project is part of Danantara’s broader waste-to-energy program. Danantara’s project information identifies Greater Denpasar as one of its first locations, alongside Greater Bogor and Bekasi City. A Danantara announcement said the Bali facility is intended to use moving-grate incinerator technology and has a processing capacity of 1,500 tons of waste per day.
The reports do not state a new operational date in connection with the Nov. 5 inspection. They do state that the project was targeted for completion within 24 months and that construction equipment and machinery remained in the ordering and fabrication stage.
