Fact File
🥇 Darajat Unit III is one of the most efficient geothermal plants in the world.
🌋 Geothermal energy is most easily accessed where the earth’s tectonic plates meet and shift, often indicated by the presence of volcanos, geysers and regular earthquakes.
💨 In some places, when the water becomes hot enough, it can break through the earth’s surface as steam or hot water.

About this Project
The Problem
Indonesia faces increasing national and regional demand for electricity, which has traditionally been met by fossil fuel-based power generation. Luckily, the country is geographically well placed to take advantage of the natural resource of geothermal energy to generate clean, renewable energy.
The Solution
The project supports one of the most efficient geothermal plants in the world - Darajat Unit III. The power generated by the plant avoids greenhouse gas emissions usually associated with electricity generation by utilising geothermal resources. The electricity generated feeds into Indonesia’s largest electricity system that spans across three islands; Java, Madura and Bali (named the JAMALI system).
