SAP SE has announced that PT Geo Dipa Energi (Persero), Indonesia’s state-owned geothermal energy company, has successfully modernised its core enterprise systems through the RISE with SAP business transformation programme to enhance asset reliability and provide a foundation to drive future growth, thereby supporting Indonesia’s renewable energy ambitions.

As a strategic player in Indonesia’s energy transition, Geo Dipa Energi operates geothermal assets in Dieng and Patuha, with around 120 MW of installed capacity and over 800 MW of resource potential. To accelerate its growth and support its increasingly complex operations across the geothermal value chain, the company embarked on a digital transformation to modernise legacy systems, streamline business processes, and enable real-time, data-driven decision-making. To support this move it chose RISE with SAP, a guided transformation journey designed for SAP ERP customers, that is supported by various methodologies, advanced tools, and expert guidance.

The transformation was delivered in just four months in collaboration with PT Soltius Indonesia, an SAP Platinum Partner, which supported the end-to-end implementation and integration of Geo Dipa Energi’s core business processes into a unified cloud platform.

Single integrated platform

Through its adoption of SAP Cloud ERP through RISE with SAP, the company now runs on a single integrated platform that connects data and processes across the business, enabling real-time visibility, improved asset reliability, streamlined supply chains, and standardised operations, while enhancing governance, accelerating reporting, and supporting a more scalable, cloud-based operating model for future growth. Geo Dipa Energi can now operate with greater consistency, transparency, and control across its business. The transformation also creates a platform for analytics, automation, and AI capabilities, providing a digital foundation for the company to advance these areas as its business continues to grow, thereby supporting the business for years into the future.

“As a state-owned enterprise entrusted with advancing Indonesia’s geothermal future, we need systems that are as forward-looking as our mission. For Geo Dipa, this transformation is about more than technology, it’s about running our operations smarter so we can deliver geothermal energy more efficiently and reliably for Indonesia,” said Yudistian Yunis, President Director, PT Geo Dipa Energi (Persero). “RISE with SAP gives us a modern, data-driven foundation to make better decisions and keep our costs under control as we grow”.

“As organisations navigate increasingly complex operating environments, particularly in the energy sector, a modern digital core becomes essential to improving agility and resilience,” said Sianto Wongjoyo, Managing Director, SAP Indonesia. “By adopting SAP Cloud ERP through RISE with SAP, Geo Dipa Energi is connecting business processes and data to improve decision-making, while advancing toward an autonomous enterprise, where integrated data, AI, and automation enable more adaptive and intelligent operations across the organisation.

Singapore's Energy Market Authority (EMA) has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a comprehensive study to assess the feasibility of deploying geothermal energy systems in Singapore.

The study of geothermal energy is part of EMA’s efforts to pursue pathways that can strengthen Singapore’s energy resilience and decarbonise its power sector.

While Singapore lacks the conventional geothermal energy resources commonly found in geolocally active regions such as volcanic zones,  recent global advances in geothermal technologies have created new opportunities to harness sub-surface heat for power, heating and cooling needs. The feasibility study will thus assess the technical, environmental, and commercial feasibility of deploying next-generation geothermal systems in Singapore. The appointed consultant will also be tasked to identify areas for further study and propose policy frameworks for potential geothermal projects.

 The feasibility study builds on the ongoing nationwide non-invasive geophysical survey commissioned by EMA in 2024 to identify areas in Singapore where geothermal energy might potentially be present. Together, the nationwide geophysical survey and feasibility study aim to provide a robust and holistic evaluation of Singapore’s geothermal energy potential. This will provide the Government with a basis to decide on the next steps in the pursuit of geothermal energy systems in Singapore.

The consultant for the feasibility study is expected to be appointed in 2026. The duration of the study will depend on the proposal submitted by the appointed consultant, as well as the scope and complexity of work required.

The deadline for submission of proposals is 29 June 2026, 4pm (Singapore time). More details on the RFP are available on the EMA's website at www.ema.gov.sg.
