• Supreme Energy begins commercial activities at its geothermal plant
• The energy generated will improve the electricity condition in the Sumatra region of the country.
Indonesia’s energy company, Supreme Energy Rantau Dedap (SERD), has announced that the initial phase of the Rantau Dedap geothermal power plant in Indonesia has begun commercial operations.
The project’s initial phase has 91.2MW capacity and has been developed with an investment of over $700m. The geothermal facility is located in Muara Enim Regency, Lahat Regency and Pagar Alam City, South Sumatra Province.
Energy generated by the plant will be delivered to Perusahaan Listrik Negara (Persero) Sumatra’s grid transmission to ensure a reliable electricity supply in the Sumatra region.
Supreme Energy founder and chairman Supramu Santosa said, “…The Rantau Dedap facility is the most challenging geothermal project due to its remoteness with steep terrain, high elevation and being constructed amid the Covid-19 pandemic. However, it again shows a very strong commitment of PT Supreme Energy and its partners towards developing Geothermal Energy in Indonesia to support the Government of Indonesia achieving its energy transition objective.”
SERD is a joint venture between PT Supreme Energy, ENGIE, Marubeni Corporation and Tohoku Electric Power.
