The Sarulla Operation Limited (SOL), a consortium of Medco-Itochu-Kyushu-Ormat, has been granted the rights to utilize the Sarulla geothermal resource for power generation under the framework of a Joint Operating Contract (JOC) with PERTAMINA. Construction and development wells drilling for the 330 MW geothermal power development are currently underway, scheduled to be fully completed in 2019.
