Visiting New Zealand Prime Minister John Key and President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono held a bilateral meeting and witnessed the signing of four agreements between the two countries’ high officials at the Presidential Palace on Tuesday.
Officials from the two countries talked about exploring Indonesia’s geothermal resources.
Before the joint press conference, New Zealand’s Trade Minister Tim Groser and Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Jero Wacik also signed an agreement on cooperation to develop geothermal potential.
Following the signing, PT Pertamina Geothermal Energy (PGE) and Geothermal New Zealand (Geonz) also signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on the development of geothermal resources in Indonesia at Jero’s office. The agreement was expected to make PGE the largest geothermal producer in the country by 2015 or 2016.
The cooperation will include the construction of a geothermal laboratory that will be jointly operated; geological and geophysical studies to map reserves in potential regions; assistance in the implementation of the acid brine treatment at the Lahendong field in North Sulawesi; and aid in the improvement of PGE’s human resources through training and education at the University of Auckland.
