Minister Arifin mentioned that in the future, the government will mandate PT PLN (Pesero) to purchase electricity generated from waste power plants. The mechanism for this will be regulated by the government, and the formula for electricity tariffs from waste power plants will be determined later by the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources.
