According to Pandu, the PSEL project development is not entirely funded by Danantara, but through a Government-Private Partnership (KPBU) scheme from the winning bidder.
“Not (all funded by Danantara), there are partners as well, there are other investors involved,” he said.
Pandu said the partners involved will be selected based on the best technology for waste processing. He explained that the total value of the PSEL project development being prepared by the government is around US$5 billion, or around Rp87 trillion.
According to Pandu, the amount covers a total of around 33 PSEL projects in various regions. “The total project value is US$5 billion,” said Pandu.
