Abstract
In recent years, the management of waste treatment in Indonesia has become a critical issue among the stakeholders both in the government and the private sector. One way to significantly reduce waste in each region is to use incinerator technology. This technology has developed in Japan, South Korea and Europe. The burning of waste can produce electricity or the so-called waste to energy. However, to build a power plantthat utilizes waste requires policy support from the Central and Regional Governments. This study seeks to identify the types of support that Central and Regional Governments can provide to develop waste to energy.
Highlights
To realize the national energy policy target until 2025, the Government has set a target of achieving an electrification ratio of close to 100 percent by 2020 and achieving an optimal energy mix through the use of new energy and renewable energy (EBT)
Based on the explanation above, the objectives of this study are : (i) to explore the potential of waste to energy (WtE) to be able to contribute as a new renewable energy source in the cities of Surabaya, West Java Province and Surakarta, (ii) to analyze the amount of tipping fees and electricity prices produced by the generator, as well as the parties involved in its determination, and (iii) to analyze the form of possible support by the Central Government to the regions that have the mandate to build a waste-based power plant
According to Law No 32 of 2014 concerning Regional Government, waste management is a regional affair so that the provision of tipping fees becomes an obligation of the region
Summary
To realize the national energy policy target until 2025, the Government has set a target of achieving an electrification ratio of close to 100 percent by 2020 and achieving an optimal energy mix through the use of new energy and renewable energy (EBT). The use of EBT is targeted at least 23 percent in 2025 and 31 percent in 2050. In December 2015 at COP 21 Paris, President Joko Widodo has made a commitment that Indonesia will reduce emissions by 29 percent without international support and by 41 percent with international support. The realized renewable energy use in 2015 is still far from the commitments. The highest installed capacity of a power plant is a hydro-sourced generator (10.1 percent of its potential), while geothermal and biomass around 5 percent of their potentials.
