The development of PLTSa has become a government priority program to overcome electricity needs and reduce the amount of waste in Indonesia. However, the program also harms informal groups who earn a living and survive through collecting plastic waste. The objective of this paper is to design a PLTSa business process that not only aims to generate electrical energy and overcome the problem of landfills but also accommodate the needs of informal groups. The situational analysis is conducted using PESTLE and SWOT to enhance a business process canvas that is beneficial to all stakeholders by recommending business innovation for PLTSa. Society as a source of waste is entitled to sort out the waste according to the specified category. The Semi-formal group of workers assist the government in the process of collecting, recycling the waste, and finally selling it to third parties. In addition to building PLTSa, government should provide waste management facilities and infrastructure and simultaneously developing an application for elaborating B2B and B2C business processes including collecting waste and selling recycled products. PLN is appointed to be in charge of buying electricity generated by PLTSa and selling it to the community at a reasonable price. The semi-formal groups of workers are expected can improve their business performance and willing to realize environment waste free. The community will be supported with the cheaper electricity bill, while the government will not be burdened with the operational costs of PLTSa.
