This JDA clarifies the structure and schedule for further collaboration activities for NEDO Feasibility Study and stipulates that PNRE and TEPCO HD will work together towards a NEDO Demonstration Study, which is scheduled for October 2024, as a first step in these activities. PNRE, TEPCO HD, and YHC are preparing to construct a hydrogen production facility adjacent to the Lahendong geothermal power plant owned by Pertamina Geothermal Energy, a subsidiary of PPI, in North Sulawesi. PNRE and TEPCO HD will work together to expand and commercialize further the findings from the joint collaboration in accordance with their Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).
