Indonesia: Four New Geothermal Power Plants to Operate This Year

The Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry is targeting to have four new
geothermal power plants operating this year.

The four new plants will have a combined capacity of 215 MW, and raise
Indonesia's installed geothermal capacity to 1,858 MW.

According to the Directorate General of New Renewable Energy and Energy
Conservation's geothermal director Yunus Saefulhak, the power plants are
Sarulla Unit II (110 MW) and Sorik Marapi Modular in North Sumatra, Karaha
Bodas (30 MW) in West Java, and Ulubelu Unit in Lampung.

Indonesia has 29,000 MW of geothermal potential. To date, only 1,643 MW has
been utilized.

Government Regulation No.79/2014 on the National Energy Policy mandates a
new renewable energy mix portion of 7,200 MW by 2025.
