The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources recently announced its target to surpass the United States as the world's largest user of geothermal energy within 5 years.
Currently, Indonesia's geothermal power installed capacity is 2.71 GW, ranking second globally; while the US ranks first with 3.6 GW installed capacity. The short-term target is to add 1 GW of installed capacity within 5 years, reaching a total of 3.71 GW to overtake the US; the long-term 10-year target is to increase total installed capacity to 5.2 GW (based on the 2025-2034 Electricity Supply General Plan).
The government has shortened the development permit process for Geothermal Working Areas (WKP) from 1.5 years to 7 days, with rapid approval of the Cisolok and Nage projects already completed through the Online Single Submission (OSS) system.
The Director General of Renewable Energy stated that the country will become a global learning center for geothermal technology. Currently, two projects have obtained development permits within 7 days, demonstrating the effectiveness of the improved approval efficiency.
