Abstract

Indonesias attention to waste problem and global warming has not yet into level of real and significant solutions to anticipate ecological disasters. To be able to eliminate or at least reduce waste efficiently without worsening the situation, it is necessary to have an integrated waste management effort in accordance with problem solving of other sectors. The concept of Circular Economy needs to be a guide for Indonesia, an effort to redesign economic activities starting from the principles and regulations of product design, usage patterns, and the process of utilizing the byproducts of an consumption cycle so that it can be used for other activities. Energy is a sector that can be a mutual solution in mitigating waste problems. Appropriate processing technology could act as an alternative energy source that reduces carbon emissions into the atmosphere while disposing untreatable waste. Thermal process technology and mechanical-biological processes are one of the waste treatment solutions that have valuable gaseous as byproduct and the waste material that can be utilized based on the calorific value of waste classes under certain chemical processes to drive turbines and produce electricity, known as waste-to-energy (WtE). In an effort to support the Paris Agreement, Indonesia stated a Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), Indonesias strategy and commitment to meet its carbon emissions reduction target of 26% with its own efforts and 41% with foreign support. Municipal Solid Waste Power Plant (PLTSa) is one of the strategic and solutive steps mentioned in Presidentrial Decree (Perpres) no. 35/2018 while PLTSa Rawa Kucing is one of 12 pilot projects throughout Indonesia. This PLTSa project will be developed from the existing Rawa Kucing Integrated Waste Disposal (TPST) located in Tangerang City.
The execution of this project is inseparable from various risks, both internal and external risk to the organization. In this study, Authors pick a case study of PLTSa Rawa Kucing and assess basic information of its project management within the framework of the project risk management perspective, from an activity point of view and the factor that not directly related (general) to activities such as political, economic, security, social, financial, project, contract, and construction risks. Author retrieved 75 unit of potential risk which is then processed onto 2 stages of risk analysis namely general qualitative analysis and weighted qualitative analysis. After carrying out a weighted qualitative analysis, Author then formulates the risk response and analyzes the impact on project success from the perspective of the project risk analysis. As the results, Authors conclude 6 type of risk categories that have a significant potential impact on project success; corruption and criminalization on project procurement, interventions and disturbances from Civil Society Organizations (ormas), technical obstacles such as building height limits, and financing and monetization-related of project investment & loans, and lastly agreement and payment related matters. Authors also links the success of the PLTSa project from risk management point of view as an enabler of achieving the NDC and implementating the concept of circular economy in municipal solid waste management.
