International Bank Supports Sarulla Geothermal Power Project (ING)

Recently, Sarulla Operations Limited and international lenders, including ING Commercial Banking, concluded a USD 1.17 billion financing deal to construct the Sarulla Geothermal Power Project.

This project is set to be the largest single contract geothermal  power plant in the world. Once the plant is operational it will deliver more than 320 MW of clean, sustainable and reliable electricity to the Indonesian market. It is expected to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions by 1.3 million tonnes a year. The project is planned to be completed in 2018.
