Danantara’s national WtE tender process (Batch-1) targets major metropolitan centres following the issuance of Perpres No. 109/2025 (14 Oct 2025) — a necessary step to scale urban Waste-to-Energy.
Approaching 2026, market signals show large-scale plants in Batch-1 carry material capital requirements (reported Rp 2.3–3.2 trillion per facility, with typical WtE units sized for high throughput and grid injection). Liputan6+1
PagarHijau’s response is targeted and measurable. Under BILD (Business Innovation for Low Emission Development) we develop bankable regional circular projects that bridge the gap between metro anchors and the 400+ local economies that are currently underserved. We repeatedly verify metrics :
• Estimated CapEx per cluster: US$87–93 million (BILD cluster blueprint).
• Program rollout scale: a 42-cluster types (C100-Metro Clusters , C50 Medium Cities, C15 Feeder). (≈US$3.3 billion program, estimated 2448 MW, with coverage design to reach up to 416 local economies across Indonesia’s regions.
What we deliver differently:
• Right-sized infrastructure — modular RDF, biomass and recycling nodes (cluster scale) matched to regency feedstock and logistics, reducing early CapEx and delivery risk.
• Local integration — standardized JV packages for BUMD/SME participation and informal sector inclusion to protect livelihoods and secure feedstock.
• Blended finance + ESG analytics — investment stacks and digital ESG scorecards that turn impact outcomes into investable KPIs for institutional investors.
Why this matters for investors: national targets and Perpres implementation will advance faster and more equitably if metro WtE anchors are complemented by regional, investable circular systems that secure feedstock, create jobs, and deliver measured carbon reductions.
PagarHijau’s BILD platform is designed to do exactly that — turn policy into bankable regional assets so Indonesia’s low-emission transition is truly national, not just metropolitan.

Context
Global trade tensions—especially tariffs targeting China—create structural shifts in supply chains. Indonesia can seize this opportunity by positioning itself as an alternative hub for manufacturing, processing, and raw material supply.
Strategic Mechanism
1. Capitalized Feeder – PagarHijau
PagarHijau serves as an ESG-aligned capital vehicle that:
•Channels investments into critical industries displaced by China-targeted tariffs.
•Provides early-stage, de-risked funding with a green and inclusive development mandate.
•Reframes BILD projects as part of Southeast Asia’s sustainable re-industrialization.
2. Deployment – Macker SPVs
Macker executes feeder-backed capital through sectoral SPVs:
•Macker AgriProducts: Captures agro-export share (e.g., coffee, coconut, spices) shifted from China. MAP sources across 22 Indonesian single-origin coffee farms. To ensure long-term supply stability, farm resilience, and compliance with global buyer expectations, MAP will embed programmatic ESG reinvestment directly as an operating expense, rather than discretionary CSR.
This ensures:
• Sustainability by design – ESG is treated as a cost of operations, not optional philanthropy.
• Farmer security & traceability – direct reinvestment secures quality, ethical sourcing, and compliance.
• Clear governance – ESG reinvestment (MAP) is distinct from CSR (PagarHijau), avoiding duplication.
•Macker Energy Resources - Industries: Scales 42 WISE Clusters in material recovery and circular waste-to-energy systems. MER power essentialy downstream micro industries at local level; regencies.
•Macker Artisan Network: Absorbs labor-intensive exports (e.g., furniture, textiles) diverted from China. Strategic Financial Upside;
Import substitution: Indonesia imports ~USD 6–7B in apparel yearly. Capturing 2% = USD 120–140M in sales. Export leverage: MAN premium lines could target ASEAN & EU markets at 2–3× price per garment, lifting margins from 6% → 10–12%.
Asset-light expansion option: MAN-branded artisan finishing hubs require only ~USD 500K per node (vs. USD 6M factory).

Kalimantan is home to Indonesia’s richest biodiversity, carbon sink, vital river systems, and the new capital city, Nusantara. Yet, its landscapes face mounting pressure from deforestation, illegal mining, and unsustainable agriculture.
Through our BILD strategy, focussing on critical areas: Business, Infrastructure, Logistics, and Development, we’re asking our portfolio partners to building resilient forest ecosystem services with clean-techs, reducing material footprint, empower communities, and unlock sustainable investment.
Our Strategy : BILD Pillars in Action
1. Business: Empowering Circular Growth
We incubate nature-positive enterprises and enable carbon market access. From community-owned cooperatives producing forest goods to carbon offset partnerships, we make sustainability investable.
Circular Capital Investment Zones for recycling industries.
Forest-based MSMEs led by first nations-communities
Verified carbon credits from restoration projects
2. Infrastructure: Building Forest Cities
With Nusantara as a model, we prioritize infrastructure that integrates with nature, not replaces it. The 97km of toll road network makes up about 3% of projected 2600km linking 56 cities and regencies through ringroads, junctions, and shortcuts. What people overlooked is the vast mass of peatland and carbon storage, while in fact, Kalimantan is blessed with enormous water bodies supporting first nation Dayak communities on its major riverbanks. At the same time, upstream hinterland water serves as main modes of transporting people, goods and trades.
East Kalimantan is a region that is growing rapidly, second to Jakarta's $20,000 GDP, with communities at different economic levels pulling the industry in multiple directions whereas trends shifting from East to West.
Integrated Material Recovery Facility; biomass, waste-to-energy, waste-to-fuel.
Nature-friendly transit systems (TOD) empowered by Solar PV

Powering Circular Development in Lesser Sunda Islands—spanning West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) and East Nusa Tenggara (NTT)
Pagar Hijau’s BILD program in Nusa Tenggara weaves together WISE clusters of local renewables, climate-smart agriculture, eco-tourism, to create regenerative, circular economies across the islands of Lombok, Sumbawa, Flores, and beyond.
In partnership with Macker Indonesia Group, we initiated preliminary studies integrating local systems that process urban waste, produce renewable energy, recycle materials, and channel value back to rural producers and green tourism ventures—ensuring nothing is wasted, and everything is reinvested locally.
The WISE (Waste Infrastructure for Sustainable Energy) Clusters act as anchor systems that supply energy, compost, and recovered materials for BILD initiatives.
Total Clusters: 10
Combined TPD (2050): 10,600
RDF Output: 6,360 tons/day
Total Power Potential: 340 MW
Population (2024 est): 5.32 million.
🟨 Insight: Even at C25 scale, each NTT cluster supports 20–42 MW capacity, suitable for modular RDF-to-energy installations and circular agro-input loops. Sumbawa and Lombok-based clusters collectively exceed 170 MW potential—forming a strong backbone for clean power supply to agriculture, logistics, and industry zones under BILD.
All clusters directly support:
Circular agriculture (via RDF-derived compost, biochar)
Clean power for tourism, agro-processing, and desalination
Feedstock for carbon credit generation and local green industry

A New Chapter in Indonesia’s Energy Transition
Indonesia is at a turning point. Urbanization, population growth, and industrialization have created unprecedented pressure on waste management and energy supply. At the same time, the world demands a faster transition toward renewable energy and circular economies. The WISE Cluster answers this challenge by transforming what was once a liability—urban waste—into a long-term source of clean energy, materials, and opportunity.
The Heart of the Cluster – Turning Waste into Power
At the core of each cluster stands Plant 2, a modular sets of 50 MW Waste-to-Energy powerhouse built on engineering precision and reliability, supported by Indonesian construction and MER operations. Every day, urban-mining refuse is transformed into electricity, steam, and heat—feeding both the national grid and ’s digital core.
But the system does not stop there. Waste is given a second and third life:
Plant 1 & 3 Macker Industries sort, shred, and pack recyclables into valuable energy feedstock for power and synthetic fuel.
Plant 4 extracts and converts metals into tradeable commodities.
Plant 5 neutralizes hazardous residues, transforming ash into construction materials.
Plant 6 converts organics into compost, enriching agricultural cycles through Macker AgriProducts.
The result: a closed-loop ecosystem where virtually nothing goes to waste.
Beyond Energy – Building an Integrated Circular Economy
The cluster is more than an energy project. It is a platform for economic ecosystems:
MAN (Artisan Network) empowers SMEs to upcycle plastics and metals into consumer goods.
MCM (Construction) transforms by-products into housing and infrastructure materials.
MAP (AgriProducts) distributes organic fertilizers to strengthen regional food security .
ML (Logistics) ensures efficient material collection and distribution of products across regions.
This Green Zone of low-risk SPVs becomes the living proof of PagarHijau’s commitment: energy transition that is inclusive, ESG-positive, and economically self-sustaining.
Financial Blueprint – Scalable, Bankable, Sustainable
Estimated CapEx per cluster: US $87-$93 million.
National Rollout: 42 clusters = US 3.3 billion program (excluding land/buildings).
Coverage: up to 416 local economies, distributed across Indonesia’s time zones (WITA, WIT, WIB).
Main Revenue Drivers:
PPA On-Grid Utility Company and energy sales
Diversified income from metals, compost, construction materials, and artisanal products, SRF, energy briquettes, AGNi, carbon credits.
This blended model ensures not only stable cash flows from power sales, but also high-margin upside from digital and circular economy markets.
ESG Advantage – From Liability to Legacy
The C50 WISE Cluster is designed for the long term:
Environmental – reducing landfill reliance, mitigating emissions with CEMS technology, and maximizing reuse. Estimating 540,000 tons CO₂e avoided.
Social – creating 18,000 localized jobs, housing, SME opportunities, and co-op agro linkages.
Governance – overseen by MCO (Macker Corporate Holdings) with PagarHijau and strategic partners ensuring compliance with international ESG frameworks.
It is not just a power plant. It is a community anchor, a sustainability model, and a pathway for Indonesia to leapfrog into the green economy.
Conclusion – Why This Matters Now
The C50 WISE Cluster is a bankable, scalable, and future-proof investment. It blends world-class engineering, Indonesian participation, and ESG into one integrated solution. With a proven economic model, diversified revenue streams, and strong governance, it represents a transformative opportunity for PagarHijau and its partners to lead Indonesia’s waste-to-energy revolution—turning waste into wealth, power, and sustainable growth for the next 25 years and beyond.
