The Government of Japan has announced plans to enhance waste management in West Java in Indonesia through a technical cooperation project with the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). The agreement aims to develop the TPPAS Regional Legok Nangka project.
PT JES, a consortium of Sumitomo Corporation, Hitachi Zosen, and Energia Prima Nusantara, will construct and manage the waste processing site, adhering to the specified standards. The project, expected to start operations in February 2029, involves a 20-year concession period with provisions for tipping fees and the sale of electricity generated by the facility. The investment for the project is approximately IDR4 trillion, with the central government contributing IDR1.3 trillion through a Viability Gap Fund from the Ministry of Finance.
This project, part of the Asia Zero Emission Community (AZEC) initiative, is one of three key projects supported by Japan, which also includes the Bekapur waste management project covering Bekasi, Karawang, and Purwakarta.
