In contrast to TPA Benowo in Surabaya, East Java. Since managed by PT Sumber Organic in 2012, TPA Benowo has an area of about 37,4 hectares can generate 2 Mega Watt electricity and in 2019 it is targeted to develop "gasification plant" that is able to produce 8 to 9 Mega Watt electricity capacity per day.
