Geo Energy’s \$150M Infrastructure Project Set to Transform Coal Logistics
Geo Energy Resources Limited has initiated a groundbreaking \$150 million infrastructure project in South Sumatera, Indonesia, which could significantly impact its operational efficiency and shareholder value. The company hosted a groundbreaking ceremony for its new Integrated Infrastructure, a development that includes a 92-kilometer hauling road and an associated jetty.
The project, designed to enhance Geo Energy’s logistical capabilities, targets a road haulage capacity of 40-50 million tonnes annually. Notably, 25 million tonnes of this capacity are earmarked for the company’s own coal mine, PT Triaryani (TRA), with the remainder available for lease to neighboring mines. This strategic move is expected to lead to logistical cost savings of over USD 10 per tonne, potentially generating an estimated USD 400-500 million EBITDA per annum, assuming coal prices remain around USD 50 per tonne.
The construction contract was awarded to a consortium of CCCC First Harbor Consultants Co. Ltd and Norinco International Cooperation Ltd, both prominent state-owned Chinese enterprises known for their expertise in large-scale infrastructure projects. The development is already underway, with land clearing and preliminary works having commenced in August 2024, and full project completion anticipated in the first half of 2026.
According to Geo Energy’s Executive Chairman and CEO, Mr. Charles Antonny Melati, this infrastructure is a critical component of the company’s strategy to evolve into a billion-dollar energy group. It not only optimizes the TRA coal mine’s potential through improved logistics but also positions Geo Energy as a leading infrastructure provider, diversifying its revenue streams.
For shareholders, the completion of this project represents a potential increase in asset value and a strong foothold in the South Sumatra region, enhancing access to international export markets. Such strategic expansions could influence the company’s stock performance positively.
