Pramono explained that this plan had been intensively discussed with the Danantara Investment Management Agency. Two waste-to-energy (PLTSa) units are planned to be built, simultaneously accelerating the waste reduction process.

In addition to processing new waste that comes in every day, the construction of this PLTSa is also to handle the piles of old waste that have grown large.
