00:00We turn to the Ministry of Maritime Coordination and Investment, which stated that the exploration of two blocks of geothermal energy sources in Kenya was carried out at the end of 2024 or the latest at the beginning of 2025.
00:18Deputy Minister of Maritime Coordination and Energy, Kemenko Marfes Jody Mahardi, explained that the exploration of the earth's hot spots was carried out in cooperation with the BUMN Pertamina subsidiary, i.e. Pertamina Geothermal Energy, with Africa Geothermal International Limited and Geothermal Development Company for development in Susua and Longonot blocks.
00:41The cooperation with GDC will be implemented at the end of 2024 or early 2025, so it is hoped that the market expansion in Africa will be able to push the BUMN as one of the world's players.
00:57Meanwhile, based on the Pertamina data, the development of the Susua geothermal block is gradually as many as four units of geothermal power generation, each with a capacity of 50 megawatts.
01:11For example, with Pertamina, we encourage and the progress has been very positive regarding the development of two geothermal blocks in Kenya.
01:20So, Pertamina Geothermal Energy has cooperated with Africa Geothermal International Limited, AGIL, and Geothermal Development Company for the development of blocks in Susua and Longonot geothermal power plants in Kenya.
01:38The cooperation between Pertamina Geothermal Energy and GDC, the Geothermal Development Company for development in Kenya, will be implemented at the end of 2024 or early 2025.
