The Government of Indonesia has officially enacted a new regulation on waste-to-energy earlier this month. This regulation establishes a new legal framework for urban waste management through waste-to-renewable energy processing and introduces several structural changes to the national approach. It aims to address Indonesia’s waste management issues, promote waste processing using machines and/or equipment capable of converting waste into energy, and reduce waste volume.

The Government of Indonesia has enacted Government Regulation No. 28 of 2025, which revokes Government Regulation No. 5 of 2021. This regulation aims to simplify business licensing processes and requirements while providing clarity and certainty in procedures and timelines.

Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Regulation No. 5 of 2025 updated guidelines for renewable energy Power Purchase Agreements in Indonesia, aiming to enhance investor clarity and expand coverage to a broader range of energy sources.
