The Indonesian archipelago, strategically located along the Pacific Ring of Fire, is home to one of the world’s most abundant geothermal energy resources. With 256 identified geothermal sites spread across Sumatra, Java, Bali, and the Eastern Islands, Indonesia holds immense potential for clean and sustainable energy. If fully developed, these resources could generate an estimated 27,510 MW of power—equivalent to approximately 40% of the world’s geothermal energy capacity or 219 billion barrels of oil.
Since the mid-1980s, the Indonesian government has actively partnered with the private sector to explore and develop geothermal facilities for electricity generation, paving the way for a greener and more sustainable energy future.
