The consortium comprising Sumitomo Corporation (SC), PT Energia Prima Nusantara (Astra group company) and Hitachi Zosen achieved significant milestone by winning the waste-to-energy project in West Java, Indonesia.

SC, as the Leader of the Consortium, has dedicated its best effort from the beginning of the project up till receiving the Letter of Awards granted by West Java Government on 31 July 2023. Some may say that this is a historical moment for Indonesia, as this Project will be the first large-scale modern waste-to-energy project.

This achievement would not have been possible without the solid teamwork and support from Management, especially in allowing other experienced divisions to assist us in preparing the tender documents.
