Sarulla geothermal project

From WikiCover

The Sarulla geothermal project, located in Tapanuli Utara, North Sumatra, represents the largest single-contract geothermal project to date in the geothermal industry, and is a reflection of the large scale, high productivity and potential of Indonesian geothermal resources.

The Sarulla geothermal project is to be constructed over the next five years. It will consist of three phases of 110 to 120 MW each, with the first power generating unit scheduled to commence operation within 30 months of the financial closing, and the remainder scheduled to commence operation over a period of 18 months following the first unit. Power delivered by the project will serve the base load of PLN's North Sumatra - Aceh grid system.

The project will be owned and operated by the Consortium members under the framework of a JOC with the concession holder, PT Pertamina (Persero) (the state-owned oil and gas company) through its subsidiary PT Pertamina Geothermal Energy.

The Medco-Ormat-Itochu Consortium consists of Medco Energi Internasional; Ormat International (a subsidiary of Ormat Technologies); and the Itochu Corporation.
