Indonesia from Bali "World Geothermal Congress" (April 25th-30th 2010)

Indonesia from Bali "World Geothermal Congress" (April 25^th-30^th 2010)

The Fourth World Geothermal Congress in Bali as an opportunity for the world to know Indonesian Policy on the price of Indonesia’s geothermal electricity (Indonesian was represented by INAGA or The Indonesian Geothermal Association). The five days congress attended by 2500 delegates from 80 countries included Iceland which 95% energy suplly for this country from Geothermal. Indonesia is the fourth position in the world of Geothermal after Philippines, USA and Mexico (in Producer of geothermal energy mix right now the highest held by Iceland.The Indonesian regulation form from Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources no. 32 dated December 4^th 2009. At this Congress Indonesia launched 3997 Mw from 10.000 Mw (phase II) in 44 new areas which are planned to be all operated at 2014.

The Potentials of Geothermal Energy in Indonesia are about 27.000 Mw (about 40 percent of world potentials) but the development of geothermal power plant only reach 4 percent from Indonesian potentials.

Government of Indonesian it self has been serious in developing this part. Many number of regulation has issued :

• Law no. 27 of 2003
• Government Regulation no.59 2007
• Presidential Regulation no.5 of 2006
• Standart price issue EMR Minister regulation no.14 of 2008 and no.5 of 2009

In fact the development of 3977 Mw project will need US$ 13 Billion investation fund. The geothermal at least US$90 per ton if geothermal wants to compete with coal.

The Benefit of geothermal resources for Indonesia are :

1. 40 % of Geothermal of the world in Indonesia (WGC sources)
2. Free form oil/fossil energy price fluctuation.
3. Weather, transportation and loading station doesnot have many effect in the geothermal operation.
4. It doesnot need vast land area.
5. Hight dependable.
6. Hight efficient.
7. Environtment friendly.
8. Renewable energy.
9. Conservation of fossil fuel.
10. Closed Mining.
11. Friendly with forest.

In Lampung Geothermal Projects as Power Plant has been exploited in Rajabasa (2x110 Mw) and Ulubelu 3&4 (2x55 Mw). The Geothermal work area to be tender at 2010 in Gn. Rajabasa South Lampung about 91 Mw (in 19520 Ha) and Suoh Skincau West Lampung about 230 Mw (in 33333 Ha). In Indonesia the biggest reserve possible for tender status, Dec 09 is on Liki Pinangawan Muaralaboh (South Solok) about 400 Mw in 62300 Ha (in Phase II by PT. Supreme energy). Last Indonesia target in 2025 is to prodece 9500 Mw Geothermal electricity.
