Indonesia to Serve as Geothermal Center of Excellent for Southeast Asian Region

Indonesia issued Law no. 27 of 2003 on Geothermal which is expected to provide legal certainty in geothermal development in Indonesia. To accelerate investment in the geothermal sector, it is necessary to prepare information on Mining Working Areas (WKP) of geothermal that can be developed. In addition to the 33 established WKP, as many as 28 geothermal WKP recommendation maps have been made with a total potential of around 13,000 MWe. This potential is expected to meet geothermal development targets to generate 6000 MWe of electrical energy by 2020
