Projects Geothermal

Gunung Salak Geothermal Energy

Objective: This power plant uses the natural resources of Indonesia's underground geothermal activity to reduce demand for fossil fuels. In addition, it makes a positive change on people's lives in the surrounding local communities. Because of the remoteness of the region and resulting unemployment, new jobs in the clean energy sector uplift the local economic situation. In addition, vocational training is offered to qualify community members for the local garment industry. The local kindergarden received donations in the form of learning material.
