The electricity generated by Patuha 2 will be sold to PT PLN (Persero), Indonesia’s state-owned electricity company, which will integrate the power into the national grid. The plant’s electricity will be fed into the Java-Bali-Madura (Jamali) interconnection grid, helping to meet growing demand in the region.

Geo Dipa Energi has set the electricity tariff for the Patuha 2 plant at $0.07 per kilowatt-hour (kWh), which is lower than the typical cost of renewable energy from other sources. For comparison, electricity from other renewable energy sources typically costs between $0.09 and $0.10 per kWh.

“The price has risen from $0.0445 per kWh when we first began in 2014, to around $0.07 per kWh today,” Ruly explained, reflecting on the project’s cost adjustments over the years. Despite the increase, the price remains highly competitive and supports the company’s goal of providing affordable clean energy.

The completion of Patuha 2 will play an important role in Indonesia’s broader energy transition strategy, boosting the country’s renewable energy capacity and supporting the shift away from fossil fuels. Geo Dipa Energi’s continued investment in geothermal power is seen as a key component of the nation’s long-term energy sustainability goals. (Uki Ruknuddin)
