PSEL Bogor Raya 1 Built with an Investment of IDR 2.8 Trillion, Processes 1,500 Tons of Waste per Day

PSEL Regulations Trimmed

Coordinating Minister for Food Zulkifli Hasan assesses that the waste problem has become an emergency situation that requires immediate handling.

To speed up the construction of waste processing facilities into electrical energy, the government has cut regulations that previously consisted of around 160 rules to three rules.

It is hoped that the simplification of regulations will speed up project implementation so that the benefits can be immediately felt by the community.

PSEL Bogor Raya 1 is part of the National Strategic Project based on Presidential Regulation Number 109 of 2025.

Hundreds of Regions Still Facing Waste Problems

Jumhur said that the PSEL project currently only reaches around 60 districts and cities in Indonesia. Meanwhile, around 470 other districts and cities still require serious waste handling and management.

The government opens up opportunities to use various waste processing technologies that can be adapted to the characteristics and needs of each region.

Waste management does not always have to be directed towards generating electricity. Various other technologies can be applied, especially for facilities with capacities below 1,000 tons per day.
