Powering Circular Development in Lesser Sunda Islands—spanning West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) and East Nusa Tenggara (NTT)
Pagar Hijau’s BILD program in Nusa Tenggara weaves together WISE clusters of local renewables, climate-smart agriculture, eco-tourism, to create regenerative, circular economies across the islands of Lombok, Sumbawa, Flores, and beyond.
In partnership with Macker Indonesia Group, we initiated preliminary studies integrating local systems that process urban waste, produce renewable energy, recycle materials, and channel value back to rural producers and green tourism ventures—ensuring nothing is wasted, and everything is reinvested locally.
The WISE (Waste Infrastructure for Sustainable Energy) Clusters act as anchor systems that supply energy, compost, and recovered materials for BILD initiatives.
Total Clusters: 10
Combined TPD (2050): 10,600
RDF Output: 6,360 tons/day
Total Power Potential: 340 MW
Population (2024 est): 5.32 million.
🟨 Insight: Even at C25 scale, each NTT cluster supports 20–42 MW capacity, suitable for modular RDF-to-energy installations and circular agro-input loops. Sumbawa and Lombok-based clusters collectively exceed 170 MW potential—forming a strong backbone for clean power supply to agriculture, logistics, and industry zones under BILD.
All clusters directly support:
Circular agriculture (via RDF-derived compost, biochar)
Clean power for tourism, agro-processing, and desalination
Feedstock for carbon credit generation and local green industry
Employment via 1,200+ estimated clean jobs per province
