The Bogor Regency and Bogor City governments are accelerating preparations for the Bogor Raya Waste-to-Energy (WtE) Project, a National Strategic Project aimed at converting municipal waste into electricity.

 

Located in Galuga Village, Cibungbulang District, Bogor Regency, the project is scheduled to begin construction with a groundbreaking ceremony in early August 2026.

 

Bogor Deputy Regent Ade Ruhandi, popularly known as Jaro Ade, inspected the project site on Monday (July 13, 2026), accompanied by Bogor Mayor Dedie A. Rachim and Deputy for Food Affordability and Food Security Coordination at the Coordinating Ministry for Food Affairs, Dr. Ir. Nani Hendiarti.

 

During the visit, Jaro Ade emphasized the importance of administrative accountability and instructed relevant officials to ensure that all required documentation is completed and verified from the outset.

 

"As advised by the Deputy Minister, we must maintain proper administrative procedures. Therefore, I ask all relevant officials to closely oversee every administrative requirement needed for this project," Jaro Ade said before representatives of the Bogor Regency Government and local sub-district leadership.

 

He explained that strict administrative compliance is essential to provide legal certainty for investors committing substantial capital to the project. Given the scale of the investment, every administrative requirement must be fulfilled to safeguard the project's implementation.

 

"It is not only because we have support from the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI), but also because the investors are bringing a significant amount of capital. This investment must be fully secured through proper administrative procedures. Since the project is located in Bogor Regency, not a single administrative requirement should be left unmet," he stressed.

 

According to Jaro Ade, the swift and coordinated approach reflects the regional government's commitment to aligning with the central government's accelerated implementation agenda. The Waste-to-Energy Project is one of the priority programs initiated under the direction of President Prabowo Subianto.

 

He stated that both the Bogor Regency and Bogor City governments fully support the central government's intervention. The adoption of Waste-to-Energy technology is considered one of the most effective long-term solutions to address the longstanding waste management challenges affecting both jurisdictions.

 

"The waste issue has persisted for many years and has repeatedly triggered social concerns. This remarkable initiative introduced by the President offers a highly appropriate solution. The government is providing a clear way forward, and both the city and the regency warmly welcome it," he said.

 

Jaro Ade added that cooperation in improving waste management represents a long-term commitment that will continue across successive administrations, including under the leadership of Bogor Regent Rudy Susmanto.

 

In closing, he called on all stakeholders and regional authorities to maintain a safe and conducive environment to support the successful implementation of the project.

 

"This investment is worth trillions of rupiah—it is not a small investment. I invite everyone, including the Sub-district Head, the Police Chief, and the Military Commander, to support this project together. We must ensure that our region remains stable and conducive to uphold Bogor's reputation, particularly in the western part of the regency," he concluded.
