“From 55,000 TPD today to 78,000 TPD in 2050, WISE transforms waste into power, jobs, and growth.”

Summary 

Lead Sector: Macker Industries,  22 WISE Clusters (2448 MW, 45-Year Horizon)

A New Chapter in Indonesia’s Energy Transition

Indonesia is at a turning point. Urbanization, population growth, and industrialization have created unprecedented pressure on waste management and energy supply. At the same time, the world demands a faster transition toward renewable energy and circular economies. The WISE Cluster answers this challenge by transforming what was once a liability—urban waste—into a long-term source of clean energy, materials, and opportunity.

The Heart of the Cluster – Turning Waste into Power

At the core of each cluster stands Plant 2, a modular sets of 50 MW Waste-to-Energy powerhouse built on engineering precision and reliability, supported by Indonesian construction and MER operations. Every day, urban-mining refuse is transformed into electricity, steam, and heat—feeding both the national grid and ’s digital core.

But the system does not stop there. Waste is given a second and third life:

Plant 1 & 3 Macker Industries sort, shred, and pack recyclables into valuable energy feedstock for power and synthetic fuel.

Plant 4 extracts and converts metals into tradeable commodities.

Plant 5 neutralizes hazardous residues, transforming ash into construction materials.

Plant 6 converts organics into compost, enriching agricultural cycles through Macker AgriProducts.

The result: a closed-loop ecosystem where virtually nothing goes to waste.

Beyond Energy – Building an Integrated Circular Economy

The cluster is more than an energy project. It is a platform for economic ecosystems:

• MDC (Macker Digital Core) turns cleaner, renewable electricity into compute and storage power, serving IT and hyperscale demand at premium rates.

• MAN (Artisan Network) empowers SMEs to upcycle plastics and metals into consumer goods.

• MCM (Construction) transforms by-products into housing and infrastructure materials.

• MAP (AgriProducts) distributes organic fertilizers to strengthen regional food security .

• ML (Logistics) ensures efficient material collection and distribution of products across regions.

This Green Zone of low-risk SPVs becomes the living proof of PagarHijau’s commitment: energy transition that is inclusive, ESG-positive, and economically self-sustaining.

Financial Blueprint – Scalable, Bankable, Sustainable

Estimated CapEx per cluster: US $87-$93 million.

National Rollout: 42 clusters = US 3.3 billion program (excluding land/buildings).

Coverage: up to 416 local economies, distributed across Indonesia’s time zones (WITA, WIT, WIB).

Main Revenue Drivers:

• PPA On-Grid Utility Company and energy sales 

• PPA Computing AI/Edge Data Center 

• Diversified income from metals, compost, construction materials, and artisanal products, SRF, energy briquettes, AGNi, carbon credits. 

This blended model ensures not only stable cash flows from power sales, but also high-margin upside from digital and circular economy markets.

ESG Advantage – From Liability to Legacy

The C50 WISE Cluster is designed for the long term:

Environmental – reducing landfill reliance, mitigating emissions with CEMS technology, and maximizing reuse. Estimating 540,000 tons CO₂e avoided.

Social – creating 18,000 localized jobs, housing, SME opportunities, and co-op agro linkages.

Governance – overseen by MCO (Macker Corporate Holdings) with PagarHijau and strategic partners ensuring compliance with international ESG frameworks.

It is not just a power plant. It is a community anchor, a sustainability model, and a pathway for Indonesia to leapfrog into the green economy.

Conclusion – Why This Matters Now

The C50 WISE Cluster is a bankable, scalable, and future-proof investment. It blends world-class engineering, Indonesian participation, and ESG into one integrated solution. With a proven economic model, diversified revenue streams, and strong governance, it represents a transformative opportunity for PagarHijau and its partners to lead Indonesia’s waste-to-energy revolution—turning waste into wealth, power, and sustainable growth for the next 25 years and beyond.
