PGE's Electricity Production Grows 15.22 Percent, Reaching 1,370 GWh in Q1 2026

PT Pertamina Geothermal Energy Tbk (PGE) recorded a 15.22 percent year-on-year (yoy) growth in electricity production, reaching 1,370 gigawatt-hours (GWh) throughout the first quarter of 2026. PGE President Director Ahmad Yani stated that this increase was one of the main drivers of the company’s performance at the start of the year. “Going forward, we will continue to strengthen innovation and sustainability practices so that PGE increasingly plays a role as a world-leading geothermal producer and geothermal centre of excellence,” Ahmad said in a statement on Friday, 26 June 2026. He explained that PGE manages 15 Geothermal Working Areas with an installed capacity of 1,932 megawatts (MW), comprising 727 MW operated and managed directly by PGE and 1,205 MW managed under a Joint Operation Contract scheme. By managing around 70 percent of the total national installed geothermal capacity, PGE plays a crucial role in supporting the national electricity system while accelerating the transition towards more environmentally friendly energy. Thanks to this achievement, PGE recently won the ESG Leadership Award 2026 as Sector Champion for the Infrastructure category at the Asia-Pacific Sustainable Business & Innovation Forum (ASBIF) 2026. The award was organised by the Centre for Environmental, Social, and Governance Studies (CESGS) at Airlangga University together with the Research Centre for ESG at The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong. Ahmad said the award was an appreciation of PGE’s consistency in integrating Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into all aspects of the company’s operations. This implementation includes strengthening governance, environmental management, applying occupational safety aspects, and empowering communities around geothermal working areas. “This ESG Leadership Award is recognition of PGE’s consistency in implementing sustainability as part of the company’s business and operational strategy,” said Ahmad. In the ESG Leadership Award 2026 event, PGE succeeded in being the best among nine candidate companies in the infrastructure sector included in the assessment scope. This achievement, Ahmad continued, further strengthens PGE’s position as a new and renewable energy (EBT) company in Indonesia committed to promoting sustainable geothermal development.
