Chevron has more than 25 years of experience developing and operating commercial power projects around the world.
Our subsidiary Chevron Power and Energy Management Company manages our interests in our gas-fired and renewable power generation plants and provides commercial, engineering and operational support services to improve power reliability and energy efficiency.
The gas-fired cogeneration facilities use recovered waste heat to produce electricity and steam to support enhanced oil recovery operations. In 2014, we acquired full ownership of six gas-fired cogeneration plants in California previously held under joint-venture agreements.
Our renewable operations consist of wind, geothermal and solar sites. These include the Casper Wind Farm in Wyoming, Questa Solar in New Mexico and Brightfield Solar in California. We also maintain interests in geothermal and solar joint ventures in California, Texas and Arizona.
Chevron is one of the world’s leading producers of geothermal energy, with major operations in Asia.
In the Philippines, Chevron has a 40 percent interest in the Philippine Geothermal Production Company, Inc., the operator of the Tiwi geothermal facility in Albay Province and the Mak-Ban geothermal facility in Laguna and Batangas provinces. These geothermal fields provide steam to the Tiwi and Mak-Ban power plants, which supply power to Luzon. The combined operating capacity of these two power plants is 692 megawatts.
Chevron’s two geothermal projects in Indonesia—at the Salak and Darajat fields in West Java—have a combined operating capacity of 647 megawatts
