Referring to the Government Regulation of the Republic of Number 79 of 2014 on National Energy Policy, the Indonesian government is committed to developing a renewable energy mix by 23% in 2025. However, the realization is still below 5%. This prompts the Garut Regency government to jointly commit to developing renewable energy by utilizing domestic waste for electricity generation. The purpose of this study is to design a strategic partnership in the development of a waste-to-renewable energy in Garut and analyze its social impacts. Data were obtained from Garut Environmental Office and Garut Bureau of Statistics and through interviews with related stakeholders. The results showed that the governments limitation in technology can be overcome by the involvement of the private sectors (investors from South Korea and Japan). Strategic partnership can help the Garut government realize their waste-to-renewable project.
