Philippines Geothermal Ambition Surges Toward 400 MW Expansion The global geothermal energy landscape is entering a new era—one defined not merely by incremental growth, but by bold, strategic expansions that seek to redefine national energy identities. At the center of this movement stands the Philippines, a country already endowed with one of the richest geothermal reserves in the world. Now, with a renewed push led by Philippine Geothermal Production Company, Inc. (PGPC), the nation is setting its sights on an additional 400 megawatts (MW) of geothermal capacity—a move that could reshape its standing in the global clean energy hierarchy. Backed by the influential SM Investments Corporation (SMIC), PGPC’s expansion strategy is not just about megawatts—it is about reclaiming a legacy, strengthening energy security, and accelerating the transition toward a low-carbon future. This initiative is a story of ambition, engineering resilience, and strategic foresight—one that resonates far b...
PT Geo Dipa Energi (Persero), Indonesia’s state-owned geothermal energy developer, recently engaged in high-level discussions with Toyo Engineering Corporation of Japan to deepen their partnership in geothermal resource development and to unlock new commercial opportunities from brine-based businesses The meeting, which took place in late March 2026, involved senior representatives from both companies, including Toyo Engineering’s President and CEO Eiji Hosoi. It focused on practical ways to expand beyond traditional electricity generation by integrating advanced technologies that maximize the full potential of geothermal fluids. According to a LinkedIn update shared by Rangga Hilman from Geo Dipa’s corporate communications team, the conversation was described as productive and insightful. Participants explored strengthening existing ties while identifying fresh avenues for value creation through brine utilization. Key discussion points included the application of closed-loo...
