Riza didn't set out on working in the Geothermal industry, it happened by accident. However, from the minute he began evaluating the amazing resources in Indonesia he fell in love. Indonesia is one of the most beautiful places in the world and home to some of the most incredible Geothermal resources. Riza has done everything from managing power plants, to evaluating the subsurface and truly understands the immense potential the heat beneath our feet contains. KS Orka is an integrated Geothermal company that is truly leading in innovation, management of production, lowering costs and delivering cost effective power to the nation.
KS Orka is a leader in Geothermal production in Indonesia and on the forefront of innovating and delivering on the goals set to bring another 3 + GW of geothermal in the next decade. One way they are doing this is by phased development versus the traditional method. At the Sorak Marapi field there is a contract signed with the state-owned power company to deliver up to 240 MW but in order to improve economics and have flexibility, KS Orka is developing the field in five 45-50 MW phases. A truly fascinating discussion with a leader in the industry, Riza Pasikki CTO of KS Orka.
