New Zealand helps Indonesia's geothermal programme
New Zealand, in its largest overseas project at Kamojang, southeast of Bandreng, Java aims to add 30 MW to Indonesia's present 380 MW power generating capacity. In its geothermal development, the national electricity undertaking has been encouraged and supported by PN Pertamina (State Oil Company), appointed by the Indonesian government to act as the counterpart to the New Zealand team carrying out the bilateral aid program. The Kmojang project is planned for completion before 1980. The technical appraisal of many areas in Indonesia indicate the potential for geothermal energy is great, and its utilization will increase the electrical generating capacity to improve the living standards in this country that has only 5 percent of its population living in dwellings to which electricity is connected.
