The province of Aceh in Indonesia is aiming to make itself a major investment destination this year. It is now heavily promoting itself both domestically and internationally.
The geothermal sector is thereby of particular interest and a cooperation with Turkish company Hemin Hitay in progress, as discussed here previously.
Earlier this month a team from Hitay visited Acey to request permission for a preliminary survey in Aceh. The team met government representatives and expressed their interest to help develop economic growth through the utilization of geothermal in Aceh.
Hitay Energy Holding is a large company in Turkey that could develop a geothermal field. Currently , Hitay has 8 exploration licenses in Indonesia, but for the future it is expected to hold 9 to 10 in Aceh alone.
