Chevron has more than 20 years of experience developing and operating commercial power projects around the world.
Our power assets, which include those in refinery and upstream operations, generate more than 5,500 megawatts of electricity.
Chevron has interests in 13 joint venture power facilities in the United States and Asia. Our combined-cycle and natural gas–fired cogeneration plants use waste heat to produce additional electricity and heat for industrial uses. A number of our facilities provide steam for the production of heavy oil.
We also are the world's leading producer of geothermal energy, with major operations in Indonesia and the Philippines. Chevron operates the 259-megawatt Darajat and 377-megawatt Salak geothermal fields in West Java, Indonesia. In the Philippines, the combined generating capacity of the Tiwi and Mak-Ban geothermal plants is 637 megawatts.
