 Indonesia has a very large geothermal potential, which is mostly underdeveloped due to several obstacles.  This has not deterred the government’s attempt in maximizing  available potentials by addressing these obstacles.


With the large amount of available potentials, Indonesia will not only able to fill its electricity demand, but also has the capability to export geothermal-sourced electricity.  Indonesia’s current geothermal potential equals to 28 GW, of which only 1189 MW (4%) has been harnessed.
