The site is operated by Chevron’s subsidiary Chevron Geothermal Indonesia Ltd. The third unit will bring the total capacity of the site to 259 MW. Chevron’s Darajat and Salak facilities in Indonesia will provide power to a combined 3.9 million households. Chevron claims to be a leader in geothermal power worldwide and has a total installed capacity of 1,273 MW, which is half of the world’s total non governmental capacity.
John Watson, president of Chevron International Exploration and Production said; "Chevron is proud to be involved in the development of this significant renewable energy project, which builds on our position as the largest geothermal energy producer in the world," "Over the past 30 years, Chevron has been working with countries such as Indonesia to harness their geothermal resources to meet growing energy demand and sustainable development objectives."
Chris Prattini, managing director of Chevron’s IndoAsia Business Unit said, "We extend our gratitude to the government and community for their ongoing support of our geothermal operations. Chevron has had a presence in Indonesia for more than 80 years, and we are pleased to be able to bring our leading-edge
technology, reservoir management skill and drilling capabilities to help develop the country’s geothermal resources for the people of Indonesia."For additional information:
