Medco Energi will compete with two other companies that participated in the tender PLTP Sorik Merapi, which Chevron and Tata Power. "We just went in the shortlist for the tender stage PLTP Sorik Merapi is still in the prequalification stage," he said yesterday. Darmoyo said besides Sorik Merapi, the company is also targeting PLTP Ijen, East Java. However, he said, for Geothermal Power Plant in East Java, there are still problems associated with the relationship between regional arrangements and PLN. He also said the development of geothermal energy is a bit complicated, there are two stakeholders that must be faced by investors.
