Chinese firms dominate Indonesia’s second-round waste-to-energy shortlist

By Romel S. Gurky

Chinese companies and China-linked consortiums dominate the second round of Indonesia’s waste-to-energy tender process, according to a newly released shortlist of 85 prequalified participants issued by PT Danantara Investment Management.

The selection forms part of Indonesia’s plan to accelerate the development of waste-to-energy incinerators in major cities to address mounting waste-management problems while expanding renewable power generation capacity.

The projects are being coordinated by Danantara through its clean-energy platform Denera and are open to both domestic and foreign investors.

The newly announced Daftar Penyedia Terseleksi (DPT), or selected-provider list, includes major Chinese environmental and engineering companies such as China Everbright Environment Group Limited, China Conch Venture Holdings Limited, China Tianying Inc., Dynagreen Environmental Protection Group Co., Ltd., Sichuan Energy Investment Group Co., Ltd., Grandtop Yongxing Group Co., Ltd and Zhejiang Weiming Environment Protection Co., Ltd.

Several Chinese firms are also participating through consortiums with Indonesian partners.

Beijing GeoEnviron Engineering and Tech appeared repeatedly across multiple consortium structures, including partnerships with PT PLN Indonesia Power Renewables, PT Pertamina Power Indonesia and local construction company PT Bumi Karsa.

South Korea’s Samsung E&A joined the tender through consortiums involving China Tianying Inc. and Indonesian companies including PT Medco Power Indonesia.

Other foreign participants include Veolia Environment SA, SUEZ (Asia Pacific) Limited, ITOCHU Corporation, Sumitomo Corporation and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Environmental & Chemical Engineering.

First-round winners Wangneng Environment Co., Ltd. and Zhejiang Weiming Environment Protection Co., Ltd. are also participating again in the second phase.

Danantara said the second-wave shortlist included both newly added participants and companies that had already qualified during the first tender round.

Indonesia has been accelerating waste-to-energy development after awarding earlier projects in Bekasi, Bogor Raya and Denpasar Raya to Chinese-backed companies.

Chinese firms have emerged as dominant players in the sector, reflecting Beijing’s broader role as one of Indonesia’s largest foreign investors.
