Having a 'treasure' of abundant energy, the Republic of Indonesia only uses it a little

Indonesia Kanal. Indonesia has abundant natural resources, one of which is geothermal. But unfortunately, this energy utilization has only reached 5%.

According to Director of Exploration and Development of PT Pertamina Geothermal Energy Khairul Rozaq said that currently the utilization of geothermal energy in Indonesia is only 1,900 mega watts. In fact, the potential possessed reaches 28,000 mega watts.

"The utilization of geothermal energy in Indonesia is only 5 percent, it is 1,900 mega watts. If we have the potential in Indonesia alone, we have 28,000 mega watts," he explained on the sidelines of PT PGE's trip field at Kamojang PLTP, Saturday (12/15/2018 )

Furthermore, he revealed the small utilization rate was due to two things, namely high costs and long investment time.

Because, said Eko, the average construction of PLTP takes around 7 years. Whereas the cost reaches up to US $ 100 million.

"In Indonesia, there are still many people who do not know what geothermal is. Moreover, the cost is still expensive and long the construction of the infrastructure. In fact, investors want to be quick to return (investment costs)," he said.

Meanwhile, PGE itself manages 617 mega watts of geothermal energy from a total of 1,900 mega watts. One of them and the oldest is Kamojang PLTP in Garut, West Java.
