Pertamina Geothermal Ready to Power Indonesia's Green Data Centers

PT Pertamina Geothermal Energy (PGE), a subsidiary of Indonesia's state-owned energy firm Pertamina, is preparing to supply power to the nation's green data centers using geothermal energy. This initiative aligns with rising environmental awareness and the growing demand for digital infrastructure. PGE aims to contribute to the development of a sustainable digital economy by harnessing Indonesia's abundant geothermal resources and supplying them as clean energy to data centers. As data centers consume vast amounts of electricity, switching their power sources to renewables is crucial for reducing their carbon footprint. Indonesia is establishing itself as a hub for the digital economy in Southeast Asia, with increasing investments in data centers. PGE is expanding its geothermal power generation capacity and developing the necessary infrastructure to meet the electricity demands of these new facilities. The company is exploring collaborations with domestic and international data center operators to build a stable power supply system. This move is expected to contribute to achieving Indonesia's renewable energy targets. Geothermal power, being a stable base load power source unaffected by weather conditions, is an ideal option for high-consumption facilities like data centers. PGE plans to support Indonesia's green data center strategy by not only enhancing the capacity of existing geothermal plants but also considering new developments.
