JAKARTA, Indonesia, Aug. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Indonesia's waste-to-energy ("WtE") development enters its next phase as PT Danantara Investment Management ("DIM"), through its subsidiary PT Daya Energi Bersih Nusantara ("Denera"), announces the re-opening of registration for Daftar Penyedia Terseleksi (“DPT”) as a pre-qualification under the Danantara WtE or Pengelolaan Sampah Menjadi Energi Listrik (PSEL) Program.

As Indonesia accelerates efforts to address growing urban waste challenges while building a cleaner energy base, Denera serves as the integrated waste management company established by DIM to lead the development and implementation of PSEL projects across Indonesia. The initiative is supported by Presidential Regulation No. 109 of 2025, which provides the regulatory framework for accelerating the development of PSEL projects through environmentally responsible technologies.

DPT registration builds on the strong momentum generated by the previous pre-qualification rounds which attracted participants from seven countries and demonstrated significant international interest in Indonesia's WtE sector. DIM and Denera invite qualified companies and consortium members with proven capabilities in PSEL project development, engineering, procurement and construction (EPC), technology provision, operations and maintenance (O&M), project financing, and other related infrastructure services to participate in the selection process. The program seeks partners with the technical expertise, financial capability, and long-term commitment required to deliver PSEL projects at scale in support of Indonesia's sustainable waste management and clean energy transition.

Fadli Rahman, Investment Director of Danantara Investment Management (DIM) and Chief Executive Officer of Denera, stated that the expansion of DPT reflects Danantara's commitment to building a strong and competitive partner ecosystem to support Indonesia's long-term waste management transformation.

"Indonesia's waste management challenges cannot be addressed through individual projects alone. They require a credible ecosystem of partners with proven technology, financing capacity, operational capabilities, and a long-term commitment to delivering large-scale infrastructure projects. Through DPT registration, we are expanding that ecosystem while creating opportunities for more domestic and international companies to contribute their expertise and capabilities to Indonesia's PSEL Program. Our priorities remain unchanged: strong partnerships, demonstrated capabilities, and effective execution that delivers measurable impact on the ground," said Fadli.

PT Indonesia Infrastructure Finance ("IIF") has been appointed as the Registration and Verification Agent for DPT registration. Interested parties are encouraged to contact IIF through the official DPT registration email at danantara.wtepartnership@iif.co.id. IIF will provide prospective participants with the Registration Pack and guidance on the DPT registration process, including the Expression of Interest (EOI) requirements, required supporting documentation, submission procedures, and applicable timelines, as well as access to the virtual data room.

Pemerintah Provinsi Jawa Tengah menjadikan gelaran lari lintas alam sebagai salah satu ujung tombak pengembangan sport tourism. Muria Trail Run 2026 di Desa Rahtawu, Kabupaten Kudus, menjadi etalase utama strategi tersebut, dengan menggabungkan konsep Eco Green Sport Tourism dan penguatan ekonomi lokal. Ajang yang memasuki tahun kedua ini dijadwalkan berlangsung pada 1-2 Agustus 2026 di lereng Gunung Muria.

Untuk membangun eksposur dan basis peserta, panitia bersama Pemprov menggelar "Road to Muria Trail Run" di Stadion Jatidiri, Semarang, pada Sabtu, 4 Juli 2026. Sekretaris Daerah Jawa Tengah, Sumarno, membuka dan ikut ambil bagian dalam fun run sejauh lima kilometer yang diikuti 100 pelari dari 13 komunitas lari dan trail run. Sumarno menegaskan, maraknya penyelenggaraan trail run di berbagai kabupaten/kota merupakan bagian dari agenda besar menjadikan event serupa tersebar di seluruh Jawa Tengah guna mengerek pariwisata olahraga.

Di Rahtawu sendiri, Muria Trail Run 2026 dihadirkan bukan sekadar sebagai lomba lari. Tahun ini panitia mengusung tema "Hajatan Rahtawu" yang memadukan tantangan menaklukkan jalur lereng Muria dengan nuansa pesta kampung khas desa setempat. Nuansa hajatan itu diwujudkan melalui sajian kuliner tradisional, dekorasi bernuansa lokal, serta keterlibatan warga dalam berbagai aspek penyelenggaraan, mulai dari homestay, transportasi, konsumsi hingga kebutuhan operasional lainnya.

Event Director Muria Trail Run 2026, Yuda Kristiawan, menyebut pelibatan warga menjadi fokus utama agar manfaat ekonomi tidak berhenti di level panitia dan peserta. Dengan desain tersebut, arus belanja peserta diharapkan langsung mengalir ke masyarakat desa melalui layanan akomodasi, logistik, dan produk lokal yang mereka sediakan. Yuda menambahkan, Muria Trail Run juga membawa semangat "Stride for Sustainability" dengan menonjolkan kepedulian terhadap kelestarian lereng Gunung Muria, sehingga peserta tidak hanya menikmati lintasan alam, tetapi juga diajak berkontribusi pada konservasi kawasan.

Memasuki tahun kedua penyelenggaraan, panitia menargetkan lebih dari 500 peserta, atau dua kali lipat dari tahun sebelumnya. Hingga awal Juli, sekitar 80 persen kuota telah terisi sementara pendaftaran masih dibuka hingga 18 Juli 2026. Melalui kombinasi promosi lewat roadshow komunitas lari, pengemasan budaya desa, dan penekanan pada aspek lingkungan, Muria Trail Run 2026 diposisikan sebagai model bagaimana sport tourism dapat menjadi instrumen untuk menggerakkan ekonomi lokal sekaligus memperkuat citra destinasi wisata alam Jawa Tengah.
