Chevron's Global Power Company 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 approximately 6,700 megawatts of electricity.
Global Power oversees the company's interests in 15 joint venture facilities in the United States and Asia. Our combined-cycle and natural gas-fired cogeneration facilities 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. Our facilities maintain reliability levels of 99 percent on average.
In addition to Chevron Global Power, we are the world's leading private producer of geothermal energy, with major electricity 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.
Chevron also is investigating alternative and renewable energy technologies, such as the use of solar panels, to power our oil field operations.
