PERTAMINA NRE AND GUMA COLLABORATE DEVELOPING GAS TO POWER IN SOUTH AFRICA

Pertamina New & Renewable Energy (Pertamina NRE) and Guma have signed a Joint Study Agreement (JSA) to explore the potential for developing gas-to-power in South Africa.

This collaboration aims to conduct in-depth studies to develop gas-to-power in South Africa. This initiative is also part of Pertamina NRE's commitment to global expansion, particularly in gas-to-power as an initial medium for energy transition and efforts to reduce carbon emissions.

This partnership is a tangible example of “south-south” cooperation, embodying the spirit of the Indonesia-Africa Forum initiated by the Indonesian government. It began with the state visit of the President of the Republic of Indonesia to Africa in August 2023 to explore potential collaborations between Indonesia and Africa. Subsequently, on November 17, 2023, Pertamina signed its first memorandum of understanding with Guma.

The successful completion and operation of the Jawa-1 Gas Steam Power Plant (PLTGU) by Pertamina NRE is a significant asset, earning the trust of global partners to develop similar technologies. The Jawa-1 PLTGU is currently the largest in Southeast Asia, equipped with the latest combined cycle technology.

As part of the Pertamina Group, Pertamina NRE is committed to promoting clean energy initiatives as part of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) implementations and support for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
