Currently located and operated in North Sumatra, Indonesia, the Sarulla Project is one of the largest geothermal projects in the world. Kyushu Electric participated in this project alongside the Itochu Corporation, Medco Power Indonesia, INPEX Corporation, and Ormat Technologies.
As the electricity demand within Indonesia is expected to increase in the future, this approximately 330MW-capacity geothermal power plant was constructed and the electricity generated by the plant is to be sold to Indonesia's state-owned power company (PLN) over a 30-year period.
Kyushu Electric aims to use its experience with Japanese geothermal development in order to address global warming and also contribute to a stable energy supply in Indonesia and Sumatra by taking advantage of geothermal power technology.
