TOKYO, JAPAN - INPEX CORPORATION(INPEX) announced today it has joined the Rantau Dedap Geothermal Power Project (the Project) through INPEX GEOTHERMAL, LTD. (INPEX GEOTHERMAL), a subsidiary established for the purpose of conducting geothermal business operations.
The Project is based in the Rantau Dedap Geothermal Block located in Indonesia's South Sumatra Province, and has been jointly implemented by major international energy company ENGIE, Marubeni Corporation, Tohoku Electric Power Co., Inc. and a private Indonesian geothermal power generation business developer PT.
