SOLO - Solo City Government, Central Java, will receive garbage from outside the region for the operation of the Putri Cempo Waste Power Plant (PLTSa). "We are ready to accept it from outside, but we are waiting for this (PLTSa) to be done first," said Mayor Gibran Rakabuming Raka in Solo, Central Java, as reported by Antara, Wednesday, July 26. Currently, the operation of PLTSa Putri Cempo has obtained a permit, just waiting for the Operational Laik Certificate (SLO). "Yes, it takes anticipation of overload, this PLTSa already has a green light, just waiting for SLO, yesterday Mrs. DLH (Head of the Environment Agency) went to the center," he said. If it is operational, the PLTSa will need a large enough volume of waste so that later it will not only rely on garbage from the city of Solo but also from outside Solo. "This was prepared not only for Solo, but for Solo and its surroundings," he said. Previously, the Director of PT Solo Citra Metro Plasma Power (SCMPP) Elan Syuherlan said that the total installation of power plants at PLTSa Putri Cempo Surakarta had been completed 100 percent. However, his party continues to carry out the SLO process in order to obtain the recognition of the ten machines that have been tested from the existing 20 machines.

Related to this, his party hopes that the PLTSa Putri Cempo can start operating in October 2023. Later this PLTSa will need as much as 550 tons of waste/day.
