Exergy’s delegation including Luca Pozzoni, Paolo Danesi, and Chee Aun Kok were welcomed by PGE’s top management. The agreement was signed by Exergy’s general manager Luca Pozzoni and Mr. Ahmad Yuniarto, President of Pertamina Geothermal Energy.
Under this agreement Exergy and Pertamina will join their efforts for the development and optimization of geothermal energy utilization targeting as final result the pre-feasibility study review, including but not limiting to technical, financial, risk, and cooperation schemes which could be implemented. The areas of interest will be PGE “working areas” located in multiple geothermal sites in Indonesia.
