West Java Supports Rp1.44 Trillion Investment in the Saguling Floating Solar Power Plant

Jun, 17 2026

The West Java Provincial Government is accelerating its efforts to establish the province as Indonesia’s national hub for green energy investment by facilitating the realization of the Saguling Floating Solar Power Plant (PLTS) project, valued at approximately US$80 million (around IDR 1.44 trillion).

The strategic project is one of West Java’s flagship initiatives for attracting investment in the renewable energy sector while reinforcing the province’s commitment to a clean energy transition.

This commitment was demonstrated through the active participation of the West Java Provincial Government in the open debottlenecking session of the Project Problem-Solving Acceleration Service for Strategic Projects (P2SP), held at the Ministry of Finance Building in Jakarta in early May 2026.

The forum served as a platform for coordination among ministries, government agencies, local governments, and investors to address issues that could potentially delay investment realization, including administrative, technical, and licensing challenges.

Dedi Taufik, Head of the West Java Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Agency (DPMPTSP), emphasized that accelerating the resolution of investment-related obstacles is crucial for maintaining investor confidence and ensuring that strategic projects are implemented according to schedule.

According to Dedi, the Saguling Floating Solar Power Plant holds a significant position in West Java’s renewable energy development roadmap, which continues to be promoted as one of the province’s leading investment sectors.

“This project not only supports the development of environmentally friendly energy but also strengthens West Java’s competitiveness and attractiveness as a destination for renewable energy investment,” Dedi Taufik stated in a press release quoted on Tuesday (June 16, 2026).

The West Java Provincial Government believes that the project’s success should not be measured solely by its investment value, which amounts to trillions of rupiah, but also by the economic impact it generates.

The Saguling Floating Solar Power Plant is expected to create new employment opportunities, stimulate economic activity in surrounding areas, and deliver long-term benefits to local communities.

For this reason, the provincial government continues to strengthen its role as an investment facilitator by ensuring that all processes are carried out more effectively, systematically, and with greater certainty for businesses.

Dedi further emphasized that every investment project entering West Java should generate added value for regional development rather than merely bringing in capital.

Through this approach, West Java seeks to maintain a balance between economic growth, job creation, and environmentally sustainable development.

Moving forward, DPMPTSP West Java will continue to strengthen cross-sector coordination, accelerate licensing services, and foster closer collaboration with various stakeholders to ensure that the investment climate remains competitive and conducive.

“West Java is committed to being an investment-friendly region while simultaneously supporting sustainable development. The Saguling Floating Solar Power Plant project is a tangible manifestation of that commitment,” he concluded.

West Java targets investment of IDR 593 trillion in 2029

BANDUNG, KOMPAS.com - Investment in West Java in 2029 is targeted to reach IDR 593 trillion. This target is considered to be able to boost economic growth in West Java by up to 8 percent. "It must be able to reach IDR 593 trillion in 2029," said the Head of the West Java Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Service (DPMPTSP), Nining Yulistiani, in a release received by Kompas.com, Friday (13/12/2024). Nining explained that the investment pocketed by West Java in 2023 is IDR 210.6 trillion. To meet the national target of 8 percent economic growth, it is necessary to increase investment gradually. In the 2025 Economic Outlook, Nining revealed, to achieve the national investment target of IDR 3,500 trillion in 2029, West Java is required to contribute 16 percent of total national investment. With strategic efforts and increasing investment attractiveness, it is hoped that West Java can answer this challenge and become a driving force for the national economy. Investment Challenges "Even though West Java is known as the largest investment destination in Indonesia, many challenges arise, especially in ensuring that investment has a positive impact on reducing unemployment and poverty levels," he said. Data shows that districts/cities with many industries actually have high unemployment rates. Meanwhile, areas with minimal investment, such as the eastern and southern parts of West Java, have low unemployment rates but high poverty rates. "West Java's position compared to other provinces is in 25th position out of 38 provinces with low middle income. "Well, that's the position that we then see that West Java still has many challenges and then they must be answered with incoming investment," he explained. Apart from that, global challenges also influence it. According to Nining, global investment trends such as greenfield projects show a decline in developing countries. However, opportunities remain, especially in the renewable energy sector, global value chains-based manufacturing, and the agri-food system. “Opportunities in the renewable energy and intensive industrial sectors are still wide open. "We are optimistic that West Java can maintain its position as the main investment destination in Indonesia," he stressed. (SOURCE)

Bappeda selects potential investors for the second phase of TPPAS Lulut Nambo construction

Bandung (ANTARA) - The West Java Regional Development Planning Agency (Bappeda) is still selecting potential investors to start construction of phase two of the Lulut Nambo Regional Waste Disposal and Final Processing Site (TPPAS), Bogor Regency, while waiting for phase one to operate. "In this second phase, West Java Clean Lestari (JBL) is currently selecting investment partners, so that if we get an investment partner, we will then enter (start construction) in phase two," said Head of West Java Bappeda Iendra Sofyan at Gedung Sate Bandung, Tuesday. Regarding the funds needed for the construction of the second phase of the Lulut Nambo Regional TPPAS, Iendra admitted that he could not provide information even though an assessment had been carried out that the funds needed were around IDR 400 billion. "Previously, it might have been that (the value), only now with inflation figures everything has started to change," he said. For phase one itself, Iendra said that currently the equipment has been installed and trials are being carried out with a capacity of 50 tons per day. The experiment is carried out two days a week and each week will increase to three days, five days, until one full week to be fully operational. "If he can carry out the process for one week, it will be declared that the tool will work well. The target is that in the next three weeks the trial will be completed, after that it will operate according to management targets," he said. For phase one, Iendra said the target is to be able to manage waste with a capacity of 100 tons per day, while if all these facilities are completed, it is projected to be able to manage as much as 2,300 tons of waste per day from Bogor City, Bogor Regency, Depok City and South Tangerang City. "For the time being (phase one) we are prioritizing Depok, where the TPA is starting to run out," he said. The Lulut Nambo Regional TPPAS, added Iendra, will use advanced technology which will divide and sort waste into three parts, namely compost, biomass and material waste in the form of RDF (refuse derifed fuel). This RDF waste will be taken by PT Indocement as the offtaker. "So the system is different from Sarimukti, for example, which is landfilled. But it is separated into several parts, some for making fertilizer, up to those that will be purchased by Indocement," he said. The West Java Provincial Government is targeting phase one of the Lulut Nambo Regional Waste Disposal and Final Processing Site (TPPAS) in Klapanunggal District, Bogor Regency, to be operational in March 2024. When completely completed, this TPPAS will have an area of 55 hectares and will be able to accommodate 1,800-2,300 tons of waste per day. (SOURCE)
